Michael Switzer criticizes Washington offensive line after Apple Cup performance
Summary

Washington offensive line coach Michael Switzer expressed dissatisfaction with his unit's play following the team's victory in the Apple Cup. Despite avoiding sacks, the offensive front allowed 16 total pressures against the Washington State defensive line. The performance included multiple holding penalties, including two by Champ Taulealea that stalled a drive, along with additional infractions by Kodi Greene. Switzer acknowledged that the physical play did not meet the program's standard and stated he would not use the presence of first-time starters as an excuse for the inconsistencies. The Huskies offensive line aims to improve its play ahead of the upcoming home game against Utah State. The group remains focused on their stated ambition of competing for the Joe Moore Award this season.
