Washington Huskies: The Battle For Starting QB
Sam Huard
Sam Huard played in four games for the Washington Huskies in 2021, most notable was the Apple Cup. It was the only game he started and it didn’t go over well. He completed 17 of 31 for 190 yards, had four interceptions, and was sacked another four times. On the bright side, Huard threw a touchdown to Rome Odunze.
Why Interim Head Coach Bob Gregory played a freshman against the school’s biggest rival to end the season remains a mystery. Hopefully, his confidence didn’t get too rattled. Before coming to Washington, Huard broke the state of Washington high school passing records while at Kennedy Catholic.
He’ll see some action in 2022 even if he doesn’t start. The Huskies begin the season on September 3 against Kent State, followed by Portland State and Michigan State over the next two weeks. Whoever the backups are will see action in the first two games.
Wrap up
Depending on who wins the starting quarterback position, he might not keep the job for not only 2022 but could be the main man in 2023 as well. This won’t be an easy decision for the coaching staff. All three candidates are talented and could see some game action in 2022. Eventually, it comes down to which quarterback can run DeBoer’s system the best.
