Washington football is one month away from the Week 1 opener against the Boise State Broncos.

As September approaches, the anticipation for Washington football to take the field has reached its peak. The Huskies have been diligently preparing to make a statement in 2023 and they are determined to leave no stone unturned as they believe they have unfinished business to attend to.

Last season ended in partial heartbreak for Washington. While they beat Texas in the Alamo Bowl, their season ended without securing a desired Pac-12 or National championship. This lingering sense of disappointment has served as fuel for Washington football’s relentless pursuit of success during this offseason.

With the season one month away, Washington football can’t afford to lose in 2023

One of the pivotal factors in the Huskies’ pursuit of glory is the return of star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Despite attracting interest from NFL teams, Penix chose to return for one more year. He credited his desire to clinch a Pac-12 Championship and potentially secure a spot in the College Football Playoff as the reason behind his return.

Penix’s return has electrified the team and they will enter the new season with unparalleled determination and focus. But that doesn’t come without heightened expectations. Last year, the Huskies’ playoff chances were ruined by their inability to win “winnable” games. They dropped two back-to-back crucial matches against UCLA and Arizona State.

This year they will have an even tougher path to the College Football Playoff as they are scheduled to play a tough three-game stretch against USC, Utah, and Oregon State in November.

Fans and supporters eagerly await the opening kick-off, knowing that the season holds the promise of something special for the Washington Huskies.
