Overview
- The Huskies will play the Eastern Washington Eagles at Husky Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 19 at 4:15 p.m. PT with the game airing on the Big Ten Network.
- Coach Jedd Fisch said wide receiver Rashid Williams is cleared to play and will start, while starter Christian Moss remains sidelined until at least Nov. 1 with a lower-body injury.
- Washington enters 2-0 but faces offensive concerns after its first two games, with the head coach noting the run game has produced just 241 yards through two contests and the offensive line has not settled into consistent performance.
- Eastern Washington (1-2) presents a high-tempo upset threat but showed a clear defensive weakness last week, allowing 517 yards and three touchdown plays longer than 45 yards that the Eagles must fix by limiting explosive plays and sustaining drives.
- The game gives Washington a chance to tune its offense ahead of Big Ten play next Saturday against Minnesota and continues a long-standing trend that Eastern Washington has yet to beat the Huskies in program history.
