Not a lot went right for coach Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies during their 35-6 loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions inside Beaver Stadium. The Huskies were outplayed in all three phases of the game, getting outgained 486-193 as coach James Franklin’s team found the end zone on all four of its possessions in the first half, jumping out to a 28-0 lead.
At that point, Fisch decided to roll with many of his young players and, in the second half, handed the reins over to freshman quarterback Demond Williams Jr.
Williams, who led two field goal drives to get the Huskies on the board, showed some flashes of why Fisch’s coaching staff is so high on him with his mobility both as a runner and evading pass rushers. He was responsible for Washington’s longest gain of the night, a 43-yard run on a read option.
Washington has struggled mightily on the road this season, and are 0-5 away from Husky Stadium. Now, Fisch’s squad will get one more opportunity to play in front of its home crowd as the Huskies are set to face off with an upstart UCLA team that has won three straight games on Friday night.
While the White Out didn’t produce the results Washington fans were looking for, it did give us some excellent pictures.
