It is no wonder that the Washington Huskies fired three defensive coaches after the defense yielded an embarrassing 777 yards of total offense and 67 points in an 11-point loss to Baylor in Thursday’s Alamo Bowl. Earlier today, the school officially announced the termination of defensive coordinator Nick Holt, linebacker coach Mike Cox and secondary coach Jeff Mills. The news should not come to any surprise as Washington boasted one of the worst defenses in school history allowing 453.3...
The Washington Huskies are looking for someone to help pay the tab on the new Husky Stadium that has an estimated $250 million price tag.

Add one more blow to list of Washington’s (3-5) dull season. The Huskies will face #1 Oregon without the services of starting QB Jake Locker. Locker, who has been one of the year’s biggest disappointments, suffered a fractured rib last Saturday against Stanford after taking several brutal hits in the game. The Huskies’ QB had been bothered by cartilage damage to the same rib since playing Oregon State, but continued playing through the injury. “It was something that was checked out and making sure nothing changed...
James Rodgers (#8) was having a stellar game against Arizona until he went down hard on his left leg leaving his season in jeopardy. Oregon State may have walked out of Tucson, Arizona a winner (29-27), but it came at a costly price. The Beaver’s versatile and elusive senior WR James Rodgers significantly injured his left leg after hauling in a 56 yard TD pass that was ultimately nullified due to an OSU penalty. Rodgers, who was hit by...
Former SC Trojan and Villa Park native Aaron Corp has finally won the starting job at Richmond under 1st year head coach Latrell Scott. Corp, who is no stranger to QB battles, ousted sophomore John Laub in a tremendous QB competition. Corp, a red-shirt junior, transferred to Richmond after two seasons under Pete Carroll. It was anticipated that Corp would be the starter come 2009, but then-freshman Matt Barkley beat out Corp (who suffered a leg injury during preseason)....
Washington’s Steve Sarkisian expects great success in 2010 with QB Jake Locker leading a high powered Huskies attack. Unfortunately, it’s the defense that tempers any positive feelings for Washington who boasted a young and inexperienced squad last year. For Husky fans, be grateful Coach Sark loves to give second chances as he just snagged a former UCLA recruit to add to the lack of depth at the LB position. LB Josh Shirley was a highly recruited linebacker from Fontana,...
The Huskies have high expectations in 2010, and the fans got an early gift from their star quarterback that shows football is priority number one. QB Jake Locker is putting his passion before money. The Washington Huskies star QB and potential #1 NFL draft pick in 2011, is exclusively going to focus on football this summer and will not train with the MLB’s Angels as originally planned. Angels’ GM Tony Reagins was under the impression that Locker would play...
Earlier in the spring season we reported on the success of Nate Montana’s spring game in South Bend. Now it looks like another Montana is shining but over on the west coast. The Huskies’ nation got their first glimpse of Nick Montana during Washington’s annual Spring Game last night. Over 15,000 Huskies fans stood in the wind and rain to watch the son of Hall of Fame QB Joe Montana lead the Purple (No. 2 offense and No ....
