12 games in 12 weeks is tough. That's why the Huskies are looking to move 3 games next season. Hoping to get three byes during the season, UW wants to move the Oregon game to Opening weekend. We have to ask: Is that the best way to start out Jake Locker's sophomore season? On the road against arguably your biggest rival. The Ducks won't have Dennis Dixon, but they still hate Washington and will see this as an opportunity to grab an early Pac-10 lead.
The other games they want to move: Oklahoma at home, up one week to Sept. 13 and the California game to Championship weekend on December 6. Either the Huskies really like playing another team after the Apple Cup or Ty Willingham thinks that playing in early December means your improving.
UW already has a break next year, all 3 of their nonconference games are at home. Add in 3 bye weeks and UW will be spending a lot of time in Seattle, hoping to be somewhere else in late December.
