In a bowl elimination game, Washington travels to Berkeley to face a 5-6 Cal Bears team.

Both the Bears and the Huskies need a victory to get bowl eligible, with the Huskies needing to close out their season with 2 victories to reach the magic 6-6 mark. Cal is coming off a bitter game against their cross-town rival Stanford, a 48-14 loss that followed a close game to Oregon the week prior. The Washington game will be their third consecutive home game.

The Bears will be led by Brock Mansion at quarterback, filling in for the injured Kevin Riley. Riley was lost for the season in a game against Oregon State. The Huskies, meanwhile, will have Jake at quarterback and even though he won’t still be 100%, his ribs are getting better each week.

“I think there’s still some things lingering” Washington Coach Steve Sarkisian said. “But he feels much better than he has.”

The game will be at 12:30 p.m., and will be televised live on FSN-NW.

Jake led the Huskies to a 42-10 victory over 19th ranked Cal on Saturday night, a fairly flawless team performance that kept the fans clamoring for Jake to return for his senior season. Overall, Jake threw for 248 yards on a near perfect 19-23, with 3 precise touchdown tosses to go along with 77 yards rushing on 14 carries and 2 touchdowns on the ground. The showing was Jake’s most efficient of the season.

After the game, Locker moved up the Washington quarterback achievement charts, including into second place on the career rushing list for a q.b. (66 yards behind Tuiasosopo’s 1556) and 3rd all time passing yards for a season, behind only Cody Pickett’s 2002 & 2003 seasons.

The buzz after the game continued to center around one big question–will Jake move on to the National Football League, or will he return to UW in 2010?

Some thoughts pre-game and post-game from a myriad of sources regarding the game against Cal and Jake’s future:

Pre-Game:

The Seattle PI asks if indeed the Cal game could be Jake’s last game for the Huskies.

Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times catches up with Scott, Jake’s dad, to pick his brain about “The Decision.”

Post-Game: jake-last-game-one-more-year

The revered Seattle Times columnist Steve Kelley asks if Jake will stay or go. 

A fan’s perspective from the Bleacher Report, and a request for “One More Year.”

The Seattle Weekly asks more of the same about what the future will bring.

And, the Kitsap Sun writes that if this indeed was Jake’s curtain call, it was one worth celebrating.
