Radio coverage begins four hours before kickoff on the network's flagship station – Seattle's SportsRadio KJR 93.3 FM – with "Husky Gameday" live from The Zone for Husky home games. Statewide coverage on the 17-station Washington Sports Network begins two hours before kickoff. The entire broadcast is available worldwide on the Huskies Gameday mobile app and the Varsity app. The UW broadcast of this game will also air on Sirius/XM channel 136 or 196. Addtionally, ESPN Radio will carry a national broadcast, with Mike Cozzens and Max Browne on the call.
GRADUATES: A total of 12 Huskies head into the 2025 season already having earned their undergraduate degree, whether from UW or from another university before transferring to UW. Here's the list: CJ Christian (S), Zach Durfee (DE), Makell Esteen (S), Geirean Hatchett (OL), Milton Hopkins (DE), Deshawn Lynch (DL), Dyson McCutcheon (S), Quentin Moore (TE), Simote Pepa (DL), Logan Sagapolu (DL), Anthony Ward (LB), Carver Willis (OL).
ACADEMIC SUCCESS: Following the most recent academic quarter (spring, 2025), the UW football program posted some impressive results. The Husky football team's cumulative GPA for the quarter was 3.27, highest ever in program history. Additionally, 26 football players made the Dean's list, including the following 22 current team members: Xe'Ree Alexanders, Deven Bryant, Jonah Coleman, Elinneus Davis, Decker DeGraaf, Kade Eldridge, Jonathan Epperson Jr., Omari Evans, Luke Gayton, Zachary Henning, Luke Luchini, Jacob Manu, Dyson McCutcheon, Paul Mencke Jr., John Mills, Ephesians Prysock, Jack Shaffer, Austin Simmons, Anterio Thompson, Rainen Vines-Bright, Beck Walker and Demond Williams Jr.
IN THE CFP ERA: The era of the four-team College Football Playoff is gone, but that 10-season stretch (2014-2023) is instructive in terms of illustrating the teams that operated at the top level of the sport during that timespan, and Washington is one of those teams. Over that 10-year stretch, only 15 different programs earned a berth in the CFP semifinals, and only eight reached the tournament more than once. With two CPF berths in the four-team era (2016 and 2023), Washington is one of those eight. Only six teams made more than two appearances: Alabama (8), Clemson (6), Ohio State (5), Oklahoma (4), Georgia (3) and Michigan (3). For what it's worth, six more teams made their CFP debut in the 12-team bracket in 2024, but UW remains one of (now) 10 teams to have appeared in the CFP more than once, when counting the 2024 data.
B1G TIME: As has been well documented over the last couple of years, Washington officially joined the Big Ten Conference ahead of the 2024-25 school year, effective on Aug. 2, 2024. The Huskies were joined be fellow former Pac-12 programs Oregon, UCLA and USC in making the move to the B1G, which now includes 18 schools. Washington was one of four founding members of the Pacific Coast Conference (along with Cal, Oregon and Oregon State), and, along with Cal, was one of just two teams that were a part of that league (which changed names to the AAWU, Pac-8, Pac-10 and Pac-12) for the entirety of its full-fledged existence from 1915 to 2024.
FUTURE SCHEDULES: In October, 2023, the Big Ten revealed 18 football teams' home and away, conference opponents for the next for the following five seasons (2024-28). Here are the UW's home and road, Big Ten games, for the coming three years:
2026: home – Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Penn State; road – Michigan State, Nebraska, Oregon, Purdue, USC
2027: home – Maryland, Michigan State, Nebraska, Oregon, USC; road – Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State, Rutgers
2028: home – Michigan, Northwestern, UCLA, Wisconsin; road – Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio State, Oregon
Huskies vs. Broncos History: Odd as it may seem at first glance, Washington and Boise State have faced one another only sox times in the two schools' history, with those meetings coming in the second game of the 2007 season, the 2012 Las Vegas Bowl, the 2013 and 2015 season openers, the 2019 Las Vegas Bow and the 2023 openerl. It's odd because the two campuses are located only about 500 miles from one another. The only other Division I-FBS colleges located inside a 500-mile radius of the UW are Washington State, Oregon and Oregon State. However, all three of those other schools are lonetime conference rivals, whereas Boise State only began playing football as a four-year institution in 1968 and only moved up to Division I-A prior to the 1996 season. Here's a recap of the six UW-Boise State games in history:
September 8, 2007 • Husky Stadium
WASHINGTON 24, #22 BOISE STATE 10
The Huskies, behind RS-freshman quarterback Jake Locker, improved to 2-0 with a 24-10 victory over Boise State, which came into the 2007 season off of a 13-0 campaign in 2006, one that was capped by the thrilling Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma. The Huskies never trailed as they snapped the Broncos' 14-game win streak. Locker, who had led the UW to a win in his college debut the previous week at Syracuse, ran for a six-yard touchdown to cap the first drive of the game. Later in the first quarter, tailback Louis Rankin tossed a 16-yard touchdown pass to Quintin Daniels to stake Washington to a 14-0 lead. BSU took advantage of a Locker fumble and drove 44 yards in just two plays, scoring on a run from Taylor Tharp, to cut the lead to 14-7. However, after a Ryan Perkins field goal, the Huskies turned the tables as defensive end Greyson Gunheim intercepted Tharp. Three plays later, Locker hit Marcel Reece with a 58-yard touchdown to stretch the Husky advantage to 24-7. Kyle Broztman hit a 40-yard field goal late in the second quarter to make it 24-10, but that was all of the scoring for the day. In the second half, each team had a field goal blocked and threw an interception in enemy territory. Locker led both teams in rushing, carrying the ball 16 times for 84 yards and a score. He also completed 13-of-25 for 193 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Reece led the UW receivers with 192 yards on four catches.
December 22, 2012 • Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas
#20 BOISE STATE 28, WASHINGTON 26
Boise State won its third straight Las Vegas Bowl, but had to work much harder than in its previous two as the Broncos edged Washington, 28-26. BSU kicker Michael Frisina kicked his fifth field goal of the day, a 27-yarder with 1:16 remaining, to seal the win. Boise State overcame an game-MVP performance from Husky tailback Bishop Sankey who rushed for 205 rushing yards and another 74 through the air. UW had trailed by as wide a margin as 18-3 in the second quarter before Sankey and Keith Price rushed for TDs before halftime, cutting the gap to 18-17. In the third quarter, the teams traded touchdowns (with the UW missing a two-point try) to leave BSU with a two-point lead at 25-23. In the fourth quarter, Husky kicker Travis Coons hit a 38-yard field goal with 4:09 left to give Washington its first lead of the day, but Boise got a long kick return to lead to Frisina's winning boot.
August 31, 2013 • Husky Stadium, Seattle
WASHINGTON 38, #19 BOISE STATE 6
An electrified crowd witnessed Washington beat Boise State, 38-6, in the first game of the newly renovated Husky Stadium. The win came in the two teams' very next game after Boise State's win in the Las Vegas Bowl the previous December. Sankey rushed for 161 yards and two scores and Price passed for 324 and two more TDs to lead the UW, which out-gained the Broncos by nearly 250 yards on the night. Washington led just 10-3 at halftime before scoring two touchdowns each in the third and fourth quarters to put the game away.
September 4, 2015 • Albertson's Stadium, Boise
#23 BOISE STATE 16, WASHINGTON 13
Washington opened the 2015 season at Boise State, one full season removed from Coach Chris Petersen's departure from the Broncos program. A number of future Husky standouts – including true freshmen Jake Browning and Myles Gaskin – made their debut that Friday night in Boise, but the Huskies were able to score just one TD – a 76-yard punt return from Dante Pettis (the second of the NCAA-record nine he would eventually score). Boise built a 16-0 lead on two short TD runs from Jeremy McNichols and a Tyler Rausa field goal. The Huskies got on the board in the second half on two field goals from Cameron Van Winkle and Pettis' punt return, but a 46-yard attempt with just 15 seconds left, which would have tied the game, missed wide right.
December 21, 2019 • Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas
WASHINGTON 38, #19 BOISE STATE 7
UW closed out Chris Petersen's Husky coaching tenure with a win over his former program in the 2019 Las Vegas Bowl. Cornerback Elijah Molden earned MVP honors thanks to an interception and a forced fumble, as the Huskies held the Broncos to 266 yards of total offense. Washington built a 17-0 halftime lead on a TD pass from Jacob Eason to Andre Baccellia, a Salvon Ahmed run and a Peyton Henry field goal. The Dawgs got second-half touchdowns from Ahmed and Richard Newton on the ground, along with Newton pass to Terrell Bynum on a trick play. Eason passed for 210 yards while Newton led the ground game with 69. Molden and Brandon Wellingham had nine tackles each and Myles Bryant added an interception.
September 2, 2023 • Husky Stadium, Seattle
#10 WASHINGTON 56, BOISE STATE 19
Washington opened its historic 2023 season with a win over Boise State in the season opener at Husky Stadium. Michael Penix Jr. led the way, completing 29-of-40 passes for 450 yards and five touchdowns as the Dawgs, who trailed 6-0 after the first quarter, broke through for 28 points in the second. Boise State cut the lead to 28-19 on a 50-yard catch from Austin Jeanty in the third, but the fifth Penix TD pass, and runs from Jalen McMillan and Dillon Johnson put the game away.
