How They Play · 2025Washington fields an elite offense behind an elite defense.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Washington reads strongest in success rate (top 7%) and rushing epa (top 7%); the crux lives in explosive plays, where Washington sits at the 48th percentile.

Home-field advantage · Washington · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Washington is worth +4.3 points more at home than on the road.
Middle of FBS, 56th percentile of 133 programs
79% at home, 54% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (37–10 home, 19–16 away). Interval ±3.5.
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge — per-team modelling was tested and did not survive scrutiny (why) — and the books use about 3. Against the closing line, Washington has beaten the number by +3.9 more at home than away over 71 games — inside the ±6.3 that many games can resolve. Results here cannot tell the flat number apart from the building, and that is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Husky Stadium seats 70,138 and has averaged 96% full (67,455, 28 games reported). Visitors face the 9th-longest trip of 135 FBS venues: a median 706 miles since 2018. The map isn't translating, though — the split above still reads middle of fbs. 23% of the 2026 roster (23 of 99 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 53 home games since 2018.

Pass-depth identity
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Washington’s passing game completes a completion rate above the FBS mean (70.1% vs 68.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 68-play sample) — mid-pack, 30 of 41 qualifying offenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
