Jake passed for 266 yards and a touchdown–completing 20 of 37 attempts–and also ran for 29 yards and another
touchdown, but the Huskies fell short to BYU 23-17 in their season opener at Provo, Utah.
Jake opened the game with a convincing drive that ended in a 19 yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Jermaine Kearse and added a 9 yard touchdown scamper in the 2nd quarter, but the Huskies were unable to get on the board in the second half and couldn’t hold on to their 4 point half time lead.
Obviously, the team was disappointed with the outcome but they also know it is early in the season and that there is time to make adjustments.
”As a football team our effort was pretty good, and when you’re playing hard you can fix the other stuff,” Jake said after the game. “So we need to look at the film and see which areas we can improve in and fix those for next week.”
Here is the ESPN recap, and here is the game story posted by Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.
The Huskies are at home for the next 2 games starting with the Syracuse Orangmen, a 4:00 Saturday kickoff from Husky Stadium.
