The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in West Lafayette, Ind. and Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund in Seattle - got together after Washington's 38-26 win over the Purdue Boilermakers and they had plenty to talk about.

Despite three first-half turnovers and five overall, the Huskies still led 24-17 through efficient offense led by quarterback Elijah Brown and timely defense that turned potential touchdowns into field goals.

They kept up the pressure on defense, forcing a couple of fourth-quarter courtesy of picks from Jeron Jones and Rylon Dillard-Allen to keep the Boilermakers at bay. It's the first time since 2003 that Washington was able to fade five turnovers in a win. Ryan Walters wanted his team to come out and play with an edge, and they did just that.

A major talking point was the play of Brown, who finished with over 300 yards and three passing touchdowns to go with three picks. Were the interceptions his fault? The fault of the receivers? Or a combination of the two?

And the other major talking point of the night was Washington's run game, where they were able to generate 186 yards on 34 carries. What went right? What changed from last week where they could only muster minus-3 yards at home against Iowa?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - are here to break down all the key talking points and storylines for tonight's Washington-Purdue game as Kim Grinolds makes his way from Indianapolis to West Lafayette, Ind. and Ross-Ade Stadium.

Historically, the Huskies have had great success on the road at Purdue. They're 3-0, the last win coming in 1990. But all three of those wins? Washington was ranked. They aren't ranked coming into tonight's game, and in fact are on a three-game skid.

The Boilermakers have won their last two games and all momentum seems to be favoring them. So what is it going to take to find a UW win on the road?

The weather isn't going to be super conducive to throwing the ball, as 15 mph winds are expected all night. Rain is also expected for game time but should dry out as the game goes on.

Chris and Scott talk about how illness and injury has ravaged the Huskies to the point where 16 players were listed on Thursday's availability report, compared to four for Purdue.

Moving to the Purdue offense versus Washington defense matchup, how are the Huskies going to stop Purdue RB Fame Ijeboi? He's top-6 right now in the Big Ten in rushing and the Huskies have frankly been awful trying to stop the run the last three games. And the Ryan Browne UW saw last year in Seattle is definitely not the same quarterback that is playing lights out for Purdue right now. And how will Ryan Walters deal with the emotions of being back where he was formerly a head coach?

After a quick break the talk turns to the other side of the ball. Whether it's Demond Williams or Elijah Brown (it's going to be Brown), how is Jedd Fisch going to generate some run game? Are we going to see more John Mills at tackle? And can Brian Bonner have a similar game to the one he had at USC?

Scott offers up some quick recruiting thoughts, including a preview into what UW fans should expect from the coaches as they hit the road next week during Washington's BYE week, and then Chris and Scott offer up their final pregame thoughts.

The Washington Huskies will look to halt a three-game losing streak on Friday night as they head east to take on the Purdue Boilermakers. Oddsmakers have the Huskies as roughly three point underdogs after the Washington took a punishing 41-24 loss at home last week to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger join forces to rehash last week, turn their attention to the upcoming tilt with Purdue, and share their thoughts on the rest of the season.

One topic of conversation centered around Elijah Brown's impressive performance last week, throwing for over 250 yards and three touchdowns in place of an injured Demond Williams. The two former interns discuss positive takeaways from the Stanford transfer's strong performance and how it changes Washington's outlook for this weekend.

Furthermore, Jack and Luke talk about what success would look like the rest of the way for the Washington Huskies. With a few of Washington's preseason ambitions out of grasp, the duo reflects on ways Washington can accumulate momentum heading into the offseason and generate hope for 2027 and beyond.
