UW Huskies

Jacob Eason threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Bryant on the third play of the game and added two more and the No. 23 UW Huskies rebounded from a loss with a 52-20 romp over Hawaii.

A lot of little problems that cumulatively added up to a 20-19 loss on one of the strangest nights in UW Huskies football history.

Greg Thomas kicked a 17-yard field goal with 8 seconds left, and Cal beat the No. 14 UW Huskies 20-19 early Sunday in a game delayed more than 2 1/2 hours due to severe weather.

The 14th-ranked Huskies host the Golden Bears in an early Pac-12 matchup that could have future ramifications. "I think the one thing is people on the outside don't realize how good Cal is on defense," Washington head coach Chris Petersen said. "They don't. That's the bottom line."

Though both the UW Huskies and WSU Cougars won their openers on Saturday, the two Pac-12 teams moved in different directions in the AP Top 25 poll.

Jacob Eason threw for 349 yards and four touchdowns in his first game in nearly two years, and the No. 13 UW Huskies opened the season with a 47-14 win over Eastern Washington.

UW Huskies QB Jacob Eason has been through countless practices and scrimmages, but his last real pass came nearly two years ago when he was a backup at Georgia.

If not for injuries, UW Huskies left tackle Trey Adams would probably already have been in the NFL. Setbacks cost the him most of two seasons, however, and now he's preparing to start his final year with 13th-ranked Washington.

Backup quarterback Jake Haener is leaving the No. 13 UW Huskies after losing a camp battle for the starting job to Georgia transfer Jacob Eason.

The UW Huskies have made no indication to who is leading their QB battle, but 710 ESPN Seattle's resident QBs Brock Huard and Jake Heaps took a close look at the situation.
