The Huskies were unbeaten and ranked No. 2 in the nation up through this past weekend, when they lost 35-29 to host British Columbia. That dropped their record to 6-1, and bumped them from No. 2 to No. 4 in the national rankings. “There is nothing meaningless in what we’re doing here,” Flory said. “The season is too quick, too short, too fast for us to say that anything is meaningless.”“We try to go 1-0 each week,” Nyhus said. “When you don’t go 1-0 in that week, it’s a problem and we’re addressing it the same way. We’re not saying ‘oh, we lost our undefeated season.’ It’s really not about that. It’s just about ‘hey; we didn’t do enough. We didn’t make enough plays to win a football game.
