Pac-10 Players on College Football Awards Preseason Watch Lists
By Dave Consolazio, August 29, 2009 4:23 am
Before every college football season, a series of watch lists are released to let fans know who the award committees will be closely following for each of college football’s awards. With outstanding play, a player not on the preseason watch list can still go on to win the award. The preseason watch list is just a good indication of which players are considered the early favorites to win the award.
Listed below are all of the Pac-10 players who were included on the national lists. The only two awards not listed are the Heisman Trophy and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. The Heisman Trophy does not release a preseason watch list, and the Unitas Award, which is handed out to the nation’s best senior college quarterback, had no Pac-10 players on their watch list.
Congratulations to the players named, and good luck taking home the hardware!

Pac-10 Position Breakdown: Defensive Line – Washington Huskies
By Dave Consolazio, August 27, 2009 11:48 am
Returning all four starters and virtually all of the main reserves from last year’s unit can be spun two different ways. The optimist will point out the importance of the experience gained and the likelihood of improvement this season. The pessimist, meanwhile, will argue that having the same names of one of the nation’s absolute worst defenses in 2008 doesn’t exactly bring confidence for 2009.
The optimism vs. pessimism theme has been consistent all offseason long when it comes to the Huskies. With Coach Sarkisian comes an excellent recruiting class, plenty of energy, and a winning attitude. With a winless season in 2008 with rare signs of hope comes the feeling that it will be a very long road back to bowl eligibility.
How this defensive unit plays will help determine whether the optimists or the pessimists are right about this season. The Huskies know what they have everywhere else on the defensive side of the ball; a strength in their linebackers and a weakness in their secondary.
If the D-Line does a better job stopping the run and applying pressure to the quarterback this year, it will allow the linebackers to be freed up to help out in pass coverage and be used in whatever creative packages that Defensive Coordinator Nick Holt and Coach Sarkisian come up with. If the line shows no improvement from last year, the linebackers will be stretched too thin and it will be another long season for the Huskies.
Time will soon tell which way that it goes.
