The 1946 Washington Huskies football team was an American football team that represented the University of Washington in the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1946 college football season. In its fifth season under head coach Ralph "Pest" Welch, the team compiled a 5–4 record (5–3 against PCC opponents), finished in fourth place in the PCC, and outscored its opponents by a total of 144 to 140.[1]
Guard "Pappy" John Zeger was elected as the honorary team captain. Halfback Freddy Provo, who suffered severe shrapnel wounds in World War II, won the award as the team's most inspirational player.[2] Two Washington players received first-team honors from the Associated Press (AP) or United Press (UP) on the 1946 All-Pacific Coast football team: Zegar at guard and Dick Hagen at end.[3][4]
Washington was ranked at No. 70 in the final Litkenhous Difference by Score System rankings for 1946.[5]
