Washington Huskies 2021 football schedule released
The Pac-12 finally released 2021 conference football schedules on Tuesday. The Washington Huskies will have some challenges on their quest for another North Division title.
Last season ended with a whimper instead of a bang for the Washington Huskies football team. Instead of playing USC in the Pac-12 Championship Game, UW was sidelined by a COVID-19 outbreak. Aside from missing that one, they also missed a much anticipated Michigan contest, the Apple Cup, and the Huskies skipped bowl season.
After much delay (no reason given), the Pac-12 finally released the 2021 football schedule. The Washington Huskies face some challenges, but head coach Jimmy Lake‘s team should be in the division title hunt through the end of the season.

Quick Analysis
One of the first things that jumps out is Washington plays both UCLA, Arizona State, and Oregon at home. Those promise to be three tough conference matchups. They are all teams with something to prove in 2021. Unfortunately, Colorado and the Apple Cup Game against Wazzu are on the road.
The Washington Huskies have a big game in Week 2. They were supposed to play Michigan in Ann Arbor last year. The teams rescheduled to September 11, 2021. If UW can pull this one out, they should make a big move in the polls.
