The Washington Huskies have gone from being a participant in January’s national championship game to their current status as an also-ran. Specifically, Washington is a new member of the Big Ten Conference. And when Washinton was waxed 40-16 in a humiliating road loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes, they were fully exposed as Betting on College Football pretenders. First year head coach Jedd Fisch is taking plenty of heat. But he inherited a shell from last year’s Pac-12 championship program. Now, the Huskies have a winnable home game against the USC Trojans.

“We only had four offensive possessions in the second half, so it was a little strange,” Huskies coach Jedd Fisch said of the sequence that cut the deficit to 17-14. Indiana relied on a new winning combination Saturday. Specifically, they utilized power running, ball control, and defense. Tayven Jackson threw one touchdown pass and ran for another in his first start of the season. The Hoosiers turned two D’Angelo Ponds interceptions into touchdowns as they pulled away from Washington. Despite throwing only five passes in the second half Saturday.
Jackson started in place of injured starter Kurtis Rourke (right thumb). He went 11 of 19 with 124 yards, one TD, and one interception. Also, he scored on a 2-yard run early in the fourth quarter to give Indiana a 31-14 with 8:55 to play.

The Hoosiers didn’t disappoint, winning their eighth straight by double digits to remain atop the league standings. Additionally, Justice Ellison ran 29 times for 123 yards and one score.
The Huskies have lost three of four. Still, they haven’t won outside their home stadium this season. Overall, Will Rogers was 19 of 26 for 202 yards with two interceptions. Jonah Coleman had 19 carries for 104 yards and one TD.
