MAKE OR BREAK: Is It College Football Playoff Or BUST For Jedd Fisch & Washington Huskies In 2026?

Описание: The Washington Huskies are facing immense pressure to make the College Football Playoff in 2026 as Jedd Fisch’s high-profile freshman class steps into the spotlight. Can Demond Williams Jr. become one of the nation's best quarterbacks and carry a roster teeming with young talent past Big Ten rivals like USC, Penn State, Indiana, Nebraska, and Oregon? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff highlights the pivotal schedules, the revamped offensive line, and why there are no more excuses with blue-chip recruits like Kodi Greene and Derek Colman-Brusa primed for major roles.

Breakout candidates emerge as spring practice unfolds, with Justice Williams and Lowen Colman-Brusa battling for depth chart ascension, while Gavin Day and Jordan Clay headline bold predictions for stat leaders. Key topics include the Huskies’ defensive improvements under Ryan Walters, the pressure on Williams to stabilize an inexperienced offense, and how the team’s rookie class could reshape postseason expectations.
