Washington Huskies
Washington Huskies ticket holders have to be optimistic as the 2006 college football season rolls into town. Yes, the Huskies didn’t cover themselves in glory in 2005, but things are often darkest before the dawn. As fans prepare for their weekends in Husky Stadium they have a lot to look forward to. Defensively the Huskies should improve with the addition of some key players and the benefit of experience with others. Defensive ends Donny Mateaki and Greyson Gunheim are back along with newcomer Anthony Atkins. The secondary suffered with injuries in 2005 but that only breeds more experienced players to move up and fill in the gaps. On offense, Isaiah Stanback had an impressive season at quarterback last year, topping 2,000 yards in the air, and running backs Louis Renkins and Kenny James are a year older and wiser. Washington fans would do well to arrange for their Huskies tickets early, before the rest of the PAC 10 wakes up.
