## Resource

The Washington Huskies will need to show up on the road if they want to punch their ticket to the College Football Playoff in 2026. Can quarterback Demond Williams Jr. elevate his late-season performance and lead the charge away from Husky Stadium, especially with key matchups looming against USC, Nebraska, and Oregon? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau dissect Williams’ big game stats, the offensive line’s evolving depth after transfer losses, and the need for improvement on the road under head coach Jedd Fisch. The hosts spotlight must-improve position groups like the defensive line, special teams, and secondary, analyze the disruptions caused by roster moves, and highlight what defensive coordinator Ryan Walters' unit needs to do to keep improving in the Big Ten. Special teams’ field position challenges and the impact of new transfers also take center stage. With injuries, competition for starting jobs looming in fall practice, and schematic adjustments for Williams without Jonah Coleman and Denzel Boston in the picture, the Huskies’ postseason fate may hinge on depth and adaptability more than ever.
