Conference-wide bye week arrives for red-hot USask Huskies football team – Saskatoon [Video]

Spirits are high at practice this week for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies football team, soaking in some rare October heat with just two games left in their regular season.

The Huskies have been able to climb out of the Canada West cellar to capture wins in three of their last four games, reversing course on a slow start to their year.

That’s included a 42-24 thrashing of the Manitoba Bisons at home last Friday, handing the top-ranked visitors their first loss of the 2024 season.

“As an offence every week I feel like we’re getting better,” said Huskies quarterback Anton Amundrud. “We’re getting more detailed and I think that showed last game. We were very productive and we held it mostly through four quarters.”

Entering a conference-wide bye week, the Huskies believe they are playing their best football of the year climbing into third in the Canada West standings with a 3-3 record.
