No. 7 Washington: Trio of linebackers
Coach Chris Petersen isn't relying on any true freshmen to play meaningful roles this season. Only four -- defensive lineman Tuli Letuligasenoa and linebackers Jackson Sirmon, MJ Tafisi and Zion Tupuola-Fetui -- have played at all and each of them has just a single appearance (all against FCS North Dakota). The last time UW didn't play a true freshman in its season opener was 1995. It seems possible that Petersen is allowing them to develop during the season in order to use them at the end, when they'll be more ready, the team will undoubtedly be more banged up and playing them won't cost them their redshirt seasons. -- Kyle Bonagura

What a change from 5 plus years ago when we were relying on true freshman to produce.

Concerning UW doesn’t have a single freshman with the ability/desire to contribute in year 1 like the other 24 teams do.

This is the best UW class in over 15 years and every single one of them is redshirting.
It’s Pete’s ultimate slow strategy move. -
