Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies are banking on unproven running backs, will explosive freshmen like Brian Bonner and Quaid Carr deliver this fall? As spring practice winds down, Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau highlight the high-ceiling potential of Washington's talented, yet inexperienced backfield and break down the impact of having a veteran unit of offensive linemen like John Mills and Drew Azzopardi paving the way.

The discussion spotlights enhanced development in the run game, key adjustments in zone scheme learning, and fierce competition for roles at wide receiver, with Justice Williams making a case to replace NFL Draft-bound Denzel Boston. Defensive storylines include turnover creation and the search for new leaders on the line following Deshawn Lynch’s departure.

Can the Huskies’ mix of raw speed, physicality, and trench experience shape a dynamic offense for the 2026 college football season?
