The Washington Huskies finally crack the AP Poll's Top 25 at #24 after their bye week, setting up a crucial road test at Wisconsin. Can Jedd Fisch's squad finish 4-1 away from home and build momentum toward a potential College Football Playoff push?

Locked On Huskies hosts Roman Tomashoff and Lars Hanson break down the Huskies' dramatic turnaround from last season's road woes, highlighting the offensive line's health with Carver Willis and John Mills back in action. The discussion breaks down Wisconsin's historically bad offense—averaging just 5.4 points per game in Big Ten play—creating a prime opportunity for Ryan Walters and Washington's defense to make a statement behind stars Tacario Davis, Alex McLaughlin, and Zaydrius Rainey-Sale. Key topics include Demond Williams Jr., Denzel Boston, and Jonah Coleman leading Washington's red zone resurgence, the pass rush needing to improve, and how dominating the next three games (Wisconsin, Purdue, UCLA) sets up a critical Oregon showdown with CFP implications.

Discover why this Wisconsin matchup could be the perfect launching pad for Washington's late-season surge and what it means for their College Football Playoff aspirations.
