Take Boise State, for example. After beating Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, the Broncos were a legitimate BCS buster. On the other hand, take Ohio State. After losing in the National Championship game to Florida that same year, the Buckeyes have struggled against top five opponents. For Northern Illinois, it has been a while since a defining victory, and certainly a solid 28-21 win over Purdue, in Lafayette, qualifies. It was the first w...

How much will that hurt the Huskies in 2009? Will Chandler Harnish continue his development? And can the Huskies improve from a 6-7 season and make another bowl game? Head coach Jerry Kill will have to answer those questions here in 2009, which shapes up as a moderate schedule for the Huskies. Lets dig a little deeper into it.

It's the first time we've attended a game while representing Sportable so we're a bit unsure how to go about it. But we'll be giving you guys a couple of updates from Qualcomm Stadium, assuming the press box has internet connections that aren't as outdated as the stadium. If the camera comes on us, we'll be the guys drawing dirty looks from established local journalists.
