Since his arrival in Seattle, Jedd Fisch has wanted to make the Washington Huskies' spring game, which he's dubbed "Dawgs After Dark," fun.
When his team takes the field inside Husky Stadium on Friday night, that's what he wants to see out of the players more than anything as he continues to build his culture.
“We've gotta stay healthy, that's the most important thing we can do," Fisch told the Big Ten Network's Michelle Steele." We've got to make sure that our guys walk out of the spring game with enjoyment. We're big into having a lot of joy in our program, but we also want to compete.”
In an era where a lot of programs are doing away with spring games in order to stay healthy, Fisch has taken the opposite approach in order to keep things fun for his team, which he's mentioned several times is inspired by his days as a graduate assistant with the Florida Gators under College Football Hall of Famer Steve Spurrier.
"We're going to do the spring game the real way," he added. "We're splitting up teams in half, coaches in half, we're tackling, and we're going four quarters of football."
With plenty of young talent set to be on display, headlined by promising freshmen Kodi Greene, Derek Colman-Brusa, Trez Davis, Ramzak Fruean, and more, men's and women's soccer coaches Jamie Clark and Nicole Van Dyke acting as the honorary coaches, plus Fisch's claim during the interview that over 40,000 free tickets have been distributed for the spring game, the atmosphere should be plenty of fun on Friday night.
