‘We’ve learned a lot’: Jedd Fisch discusses Washington’s struggles in road games

Road games haven’t been kind to the Washington Huskies this season. In fact, they’ve been flat out brutal to watch. The Huskies haven’t had any fun in any of their games away from Husky Stadium. Washington went unbeaten at home this season, but lost in every single game that has either been a true road game or a neutral site contest.

Well, every game up to this point at least. Washington has a chance to change that trend this afternoon as the Huskies head to Eugene, Oregon to meet up with Dan Lanning and the No. 1 ranked Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium.

What better time to find a way to win on the road than in a rivalry game? What if I told you that aforementioned rivalry game was against an unbeaten team? Or if it happened to be against the top-ranked team in the country?

That’d make it, essentially, the perfect time to go out and get a road win for the first time this season, right? I think so… So, will that happen?

I don’t know. Neither does Jedd Fisch or really anyone else. But, during his press conference earlier this week, Fisch was asked about the way Washington has struggled in road games this season.

“We’ve learned a lot in those experiences, each one being different, each one having its own uniqueness to it,” Fisch explained.

As he noted, the Huskies have seen quite a bit in their various different road losses throughout this year. They’ve lost in some pretty incredible and devastatingly frustrating ways. It’s been great and definitely enjoyable stuff to watch, right?

“Being able to start fast and then not finish, being able to finish strong and not start nearly as fast, having a major hiccup at halftime really against Rutgers where it’s seven to three, we block a kick and then have to go back on the field,” Fisch recalled.

A lot of things have gone wrong in road games this year. And now Washington has another chance to play in one.

“This is another opportunity to go into an incredible environment, very hostile environment, probably the most hostile of all the environments, I would assume, on rivalry weekend. It’s going to be loud, it’s going to be energetic, it’s going to be enthusiastic,” Fisch said.

We’ll see how the Huskies hold up in this game. There’s no real pressure on UW to win this one. It won’t drastically change the outcome of this season if this is a loss, but it would be nice to get a win away from Husky Stadium for once this season.

WASHINGTON – Coming up this month, spring’s most colorful new event: Tulip Day Washington.

This one-day event will take place from 11:15 AM – 4:15 PM, offering a floral showcase of approximately 150,000 tulips; visitors are invited to pick their choice of 10 tulips for free upon arrival.

The backstory:

The event is organized by the Embassy of the Netherlands and Royal Anthos, a Dutch trade association, in honor of America’s 250th birthday. The display of tulips will be in the shape of the number 250.

The bulbs come from the Netherlands, but are being grown in Virginia and New Jersey.

These won’t be the first tulips on the National Mall, however. The Floral Library, also known as the Tulip Library, features 93 beds of flowers near the Tidal Basin. The Floral Library was established in 1969, and is maintained by the National Park Services. These flowers, though, are to be enjoyed only – not to be picked.

Week Ahead in Washington: March 1

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – Operation “Epic Fury” — the weekend military operations carried out by the U.S. and Israel against targets in Iran — tops the agenda for Congress as lawmakers return to Washington.

Sunday, President Donald Trump said the new leadership in Iran wants to talk to the Trump Administration.

Democrats in both chambers called for Congress to return as soon as possible for classified briefings on Iran, followed by a move to vote on the War Powers Act. The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war on another country.

Congress’ return to Washington was originally delayed due to the start of the 2026 midterm elections cycle.

Tuesday, voters in Arkansas, North Carolina and Texas head to the polls for primary elections.

North Carolina and Texas are drawing significant attention, as both states are facing congressional redistricting and competitive primary races for Senate seats.

In Texas, incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R) is facing primary challenges from state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt. On the Democratic side, Rep. Jasmine Crockett is facing state Rep. James Talarico.

In North Carolina, candidates are vying to replacing retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R) . They include former Governor Roy Cooper (D) and former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley.

Also this week, the Rev. Jesse Jackson is laid to rest. He will be honored Wednesday in Washington before a final memorial service Saturday. Jackson died Feb. 17.
