Huskies Ready to Pad Up and Find Out ‘Who the Real Dawgs Are’

SEATTLE, Wash. — The first two days of Huskies spring football show a team that looks ready to take another step or two forward this season.

They look big, fast, lively and engaged. Practices move quickly, with virtually no wasted time as players move from drill to drill, station to station.

Washington’s second-year defensive coordinator Ryan Walters wants to see more, however. He’ll get that opportunity on Saturday, when UW players put on pads for the first time this spring and pop each other during live sessions.

“This is fake football out here right now. We’re out here in shorts and T-shirts. That’s not how the game is played. We’ll find out who the real dawgs are.”
