The Washington Huskies defeated the Michigan Wolverines at Husky Stadium on Saturday, improving their record to 4-2 and giving them their first win versus a ranked opponent in the Jedd Fisch era. But today, the focus is on the defense and defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, who has the Washington Huskies defense playing some really high-end football. The Huskies defensive ranks have been impressive through six games of the season.
Michigan averaged 90 rushing yards in the second half through the first five games.
