The 1945 Washington Huskies football team represented the University of Washington during the 1945 college football season. Home games were played on campus in Seattle at Husky Stadium.
Under fourth-year head coach Ralph Welch, the Huskies were 6–3 and finished third in the Pacific Coast Conference. Washington outscored its opponents by a combined total of 91 to 54.[1] No non-conference games were played this season and Bill McGovern was the team captain.
Season[]
After a two-year hiatus due to World War II, in-state rival Washington State resumed its program and was played twice. The games were split, with home team wins in shutouts in Seattle in October,[2][3] and in Pullman at the end of the season.[4][5][6] The Cougars had last fielded a team in 1942.
Oregon and Oregon State were also played twice, in Seattle and Portland. The Huskies swept Oregon,[7][8] but split with Oregon State, with the visiting teams prevailing.[9][10][11] The Huskies upset USC 13–7 in Seattle,[12][13] the Trojans' only PCC loss. UCLA was not on the schedule this season, and Stanford did not field a team from 1943 through 1945.
