Pac-10 Week 10 Notes and Observations: Washington Huskies

By Dave Consolazio, November 11, 2009 8:03 am

Washington Huskies 3-6 Overall (2-4 Conference)

This Week’s Score: UCLA 24 – Washington 23

Next Week’s Opponent: @Oregon State



You don’t just go from being a winless team to a consistently good team overnight; even if you make it look like you might early in the season.

After starting the season off 2-1 including the huge upset win over then-#3 USC, the Huskies gave their fans plenty of reason to be optimistic for the rest of the season.

But since then, it’s been a 1-5 skid; ironically enough, the one win coming against another Pac-10 frontrunner in Arizona. Some of the losses have neen particularly heart breaking; the controversial OT loss to Notre Dame, the defensive breakdown on the last play of the game against ASU. But this one might be the worst yet.

UCLA did all they could to give this game away. Two interceptions and three fumbles lost (out of six). When you win the turnover battle five to one against a team that is winless in the conference, there just isn’t any excuse for losing the game.

Erik Folk had the chance to take the lead on a 38-yard attempt with just under 11 minutes left, but missed. With time winding down, Washington looked poised for some late heroics with Jake Locker leading the team into UCLA territory with all three time outs; only to see a Rahim Moore interception end the threat. The Huskies looked an awful lot like their 2008 counterparts last Saturday, just finding ways to lose games.

Chris Polk and Jermaine Kearse were the stars on offense, with Polk rushing for 132 yards on 15 carries and Kearse making seven catches for 114 yards and two touchdowns. The offense ended up settling for too many field goal tries, converting on three and of course missing on the last one.

The defense gave up a lot of yards (455), but forcing five turnovers should give your team a good chance to win. Desmond Trufant and Jason Wells both had an interception.

The Huskies will have one more chance to play spoiler this season when they head into Corvallis for this week’s matchup against Oregon State. After that it’s a bye, and then a chance at revenge for last year’s Apple Cup loss against the rival Cougars.
