2022-A Season for the Record Books for the Washington Huskies

Note: Published by UW 2022 Bowl Game Guide Before the Alamo Bowl that included Washington The record book. I have found bugs (bugs) in it (one of which I already reported to UW and they acknowledged it and said they would fix it), but I used it as a starting point. I’ve added stats from the Alamo Bowl, and in some cases cfbstats.comTo come up with these records, they may not be 100% accurate, but should be close.

Most Husky fans know that with Michael Pincks Jr. as the QB, UW set a number of passing records in the 2022 season. But there have been some other Huskies performances this season that will be in the UW record books, including some for very good reasons. Here’s a look at some of them that I found while searching the UW record books.
