Three Downs: Huskies game balls against Alberta

First down: Who get’s your game ball on offense? Dallas: I’m taking Trent Peterson. This is the performance we’ve been waiting for from the quarterbacks all season. He looked confident in the pocket, found his open receivers with accurate passes, and ran hard for a couple important first downs. He completed 76 percent of his [...]

Three Downs: Huskies over UBC game balls

First Down: who gets your game ball on offense?
 Tom: JGK was the straw that stirred the drink on Friday; the Huskie offense really got rolling once Jahlani came into the game. Game ball to him, with an honourable mention to Ben Coakwell for an outstanding performance as well. 
Dallas: Ben Coakwell had a great [...]

Three Downs: Huskies over Bears edition

First Down: who receives your game ball on offense? Dallas: It’s difficult to pick one player when there were so many contributors, but I think Jeff Moore deserves a game ball for his play in his first game back since last year’s season opener. His fourth quarter touchdown was a great catch, right through the [...]

Defense turns in dominant performance vs. Bears

The Huskie defense exorcised some demons on Friday night. After a terrible fourth quarter performance that led to an early exit from the 2010 playoffs, the Dogs shut down the very same offense that sent them packing last fall. The Huskie defense did not allow any points to be scored against them (UofA’s 7 points [...]

Unsung Hero: Huskies – Lancers edition

After every game, the Huskie Outsider selects an unsung hero, which is someone who had a great game but didn’t get the recognition they deserved. Tom: Connor Lutz. He was able to gain significant yardage, right up the middle of Windsor’s defense, on each carry that he had. He’s a hard working kid who attends [...]

Mixed results from the defense

The Huskie defense played a pretty good second half against the Windsor Lancers, but they came out and really struggled early in the game. Given the veteran talent on this unit, the first half performance was a surprise and disappointment. We caught up with several members of the defense, along with defensive coordinator Ed Carleton, [...]

Hearing from the front four

Last year, the Huskies fielded one of their better defensive lines in recent years. If anything, the unit is even stronger in 2011. Camp observers have seen player additions and position changes to the DLine, and their performance has been impressive thus far. Huskie Outsider caught up with four members of this group: Zach Hart, [...]

Practice 4 report: Saturday afternoon

The Huskies are currently in team meetings, so we have a quick chance to update you on training camp practice four. The Huskies practiced for about two hours yesterday afternoon. The session seemed a little bit more uptempo than the morning session. Before the practice, Huskies Hec Crighton winner (1973) Dave Pickett talked to the [...]

Practice 02 report: Friday afternoon

Practice two is now in the books. The team spent about two hours in a slight drizzle, which was completely different than this morning’s sun baked session. This afternoon, there were about 100 people in attendance watching the practice as many fans are excited about the return of CIS Football. Griffiths Stadium, a few minutes [...]

Recruit report: Dylan Wright

One position, on the defensive side of the ball, that needs an infusion of depth is defensive tackle. It is a situation that one member of the Huskie Outsider crew described during our midwinter edition of “Three Downs.” Dylan Wright, formerly of the Edmonton Huskies of the Prairie Junior Football Conference, is one player the Huskies [...]

Three downs: mid-winter edition

The Huskie Outsider crew is already getting anxious for the Dogs Breakfast and spring camp. We thought we’d take an early look ahead to spring camp and the 2011 season. 1st down: What position, on offense and defense, do the Huskies need to recruit? Offense: Ryan: The Huskies have a solid nucleus at every position [...]

Three downs: Huskies thump Rams edition

First down: who gets the offensive game ball? Dallas: With four touchdowns and 424 yards passing, plus another 20 yards on five carries, quarterback Laurence Nixon deserves to be named offensive player of the game. Tom: There are several possibilities for the offensive game ball: Dathan Thomas had 3 TD’s and went over the century [...]

Kovach & Rybinski raise their level of play in 2010

Steve Kovach and David Rybinski had a very strong game, at defensive tackle, in the Huskies’ victory over the Calgary Dinosaurs. It was a performance that didn’t escape the eyes of DLine coach, Aaron Moser, either. “They were both dominant, on the inside, against Calgary, who have a very good offensive line,” stated Moser. Said [...]

Unsung hero: Huskies over Dinos edition

Dog Whisperer: Burton Haig. When you’re on your fourth center 6 games into the season any reasonable observer would expect that the team is in DEEP trouble. Apparently not. In what can only be described as a pressure cooker of a game, a critical game which might very well dictate the balance of the season, [...]

Unsung Hero, Huskies over Bisons edition

Tom: I discussed this topic with the fans sitting near me, in section 11. The consensus was that Braeden George is most deserving of this acknowledgment. He had five receptions and a TD, but the feeling was that he deserves the award for the help he provided in pass protection, particularly against the blitz. It’s [...]

Three downs: Western style

First Down: Who receives your offensive game ball? Jon: Jade Etienne. He doesn’t just get my game ball for playing a solid receiving game, (two catches, one TD) but he brought it physically as well. While good performances catching the ball are a more common occurrence, it’s not often you get to see the punishing [...]

DLine enjoys depth this year

Defensive line coach, Aaron Moser, is pleased with the number of Huskies who are ready to play along the line. “We have a lot of competition along the defensive line,” he noted. “We have extra depth that we haven’t had in the past. After winter workouts and spring camp, we felt that we would have [...]

Green and White scrimmage Q & A (veterans edition)

We did this after every game last year and we wanted to provide more insight into the spring scrimmage. So, here it is, our first of two Q & A sessions from the spring scrimmage. This morning, we will focus on the veterans. Check back tonight to read more about the young guys. Offensive Game [...]

Huskies Defense looks in mid-season form

The Huskies held their annual Green and White scrimmage earlier today. Dallas will be breaking down the scrimmage and should have some video up later tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime we’ve got a few notes from the game. The first team offense was able to move the ball effectively on the defense, however the [...]
