Top 3 Questions for Washington at Big Ten Media Days

Kalen DeBoer is in Tuscaloosa. Michael Penix Jr. (and a bunch of his teammates) are in the NFL. The entire program has joined a tougher league. Husky fans will have to be patient after enjoying last year's exciting Pac-12 title run and National Championship Game appearance.

3. Which Will Rogers will U-Dub get?

Under Mike Leach, Rogers was prolific at Mississippi State. Without him, his production slipped last year. The new staff must maximize Rogers' passing skills for U-Dub to be successful.

2. How ready is Washington for life in the Big Ten?

If it was last year, this would have been a blast. With a retooled roster and staff, though, it'll be a bumpy Big Ten debut with some long road trips in September, October, and November.

1. Is Jedd Fisch the real deal?

Fisch was brilliant leading Arizona to 10 wins and a No. 11 ranking last year. Brilliant. The stakes will be higher in the Big Ten and the competition tougher, but he starts with a better foundation in Seattle.
