2020 Washington Huskies Football Preview – Offense
Head Coach Jimmy Lake. Washington Huskies football preview.
With less than a week before the Washington Huskies football team opens its 2020 season, PNWS previews the squad. In today’s part one, we look at the Huskies offense.
I’m sure all Washington Huskies football fans are excited there will be a 2020 season after all. This year won’t have as many games as other years. However, seeing UW take the field at Husky Stadium is a sight for sore eyes.
It would have been great to have fans in the stands to support the UW players. That won’t happen because of COVID-19 protocols. However, it will be nice to have something to do on a Saturday besides home remodeling or running errands. I am sure most Husky fans are Seahawks fans, but seeing college football on a Saturday is good. The Pac-12 can’t leave it to the Big Ten, SEC, and whoever else is playing football to occupy our game days.
Jimmy Lake begins his first year as the Washington Huskies Head Coach, after taking over for Chris Petersen last December. He’ll be anxious to get his head coaching career off on the right track. That’s one of the reasons why he brought in John Donovan as his offensive coordinator.
Donovan comes to Huskyville after spending the last four years as an assistant with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before his time with the Jags, he spent 19 years in the college ranks. Donovan is supposed to insert a pro-style offense at Washington. How much different from what the Huskies did under Petersen remains to be seen. There is enough talent on offense to put an entertaining team on the field.
The questions primarily about the Huskies football team will be about the quarterback and offensive line. Also, what the offense will look like under Donovan.
