HUSKIES

Big 10 Wake-Up Call — Huskies Comeback Hits Different

Can We All Ball - D.Beaver - SPORTS / THE FACTS NEWSPAPER  

The Huskies walked into enemy territory and showed the Big 10 what time it is. Down 20–0? No panic. Washington flipped the switch in the second half and came all the way back to snatch a 24–20 win over Maryland on the road.

First half? Ugly. No spark, no rhythm. But after halftime, the Dawgs came out with that real fight. The offense started clicking, and the defense tightened all the way up. When it mattered most, Jonah Coleman punched in that go-ahead touchdown like a straight-up closer.

Maryland tried to answer, but the Dawgs slammed the door shut.

This wasn’t just a comeback , it was a statement. Big 10, wake up. Washington ain’t here to play cute. They here to compete, scrap, and win.

Real Dawgs Don’t Break — They BITE When It’s Crunch Time. And Saturday? The BITE Was Loud.

Purple reign, believe that.

SEAHAWKS

Seattle Was Flyin’ High Even in the Loss

 FIRST AND GOAL - D.BEAVER - Sports / THE FACTS NEWSPAPER 

This past Sunday, the Seahawks and the whole city showed why we’re still the Top Birds in the league, win or lose. It was a wild one at Lumen Field, with the Hawks going toe to toe with Tampa Bay in a 38–35 shootout that came down to the final seconds. Tough loss, but the energy? Pure fire.

On the field, Sam Darnold stepped up and showed poise, slingin' darts all afternoon. But what had fans really turnin’ heads was the connection he’s building with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. JSN was cookin’ ,smooth routes, sure hands, and straight-up playmaker energy. Every time Darnold needed a spark, he looked JSN’s way, and the young gun delivered. That bond? It’s real. And it’s just gettin’ started.

But Sunday wasn’t just about the scoreboard. It was a celebration of 50 years of Seattle football. Hall of Famers showed up heavy ,  Shaun Alexander, Dee Jackson, “Boo Boo” Kim Chandlslor, and

of course, Beast Mode himself, Marshawn Lynch. The Legion of Boom aura was in the air, and the city felt that legacy strong. Over 50 university players came through to show love, bridging generations.

The sun was shining, fans were loud, and the whole day felt

like a Seahawks family reunion. We might’ve taken the L, but the culture? Still undefeated.

Seattle Forever. Hawks Don’t Fold, WE FLY , WE STAY FLY
