The Huskies welcome the Beavers of Oregon State to Husky Stadium, with kick off tonight at 7:21 p.m.

The 24th ranked Beavers are coming off a big 29-27 win at #9 ranked Arizona, while Washington is coming off a disappointing 10 point loss to Arizona State at home. Oregon State’s win came with a big loss, however, as do-everything star player James Rodgers injured his knee and was lost for the year. The Huskies, meanwhile, are nursing some injuries of their own as both offensive lineman Erik Kohler (mono) and wide receiver Devin Aguilar (hip) will miss their second straight game, and running back Johri Fogerson will miss another game with a hip injury.

And, as noted after the Arizona State game, Jake is getting through being sick and also trying to heal from a deep thigh contusion, two issues that are on the mend but not fully healed.

“He looks fine. I thought he would get back,” Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian said. “I don’t think he will be 100 percent; there is a pretty good-sized bruise. But it’s nice to have him and know that you’ve got him.”

Washington is hoping to end a 6 game losing streak versus the Beavers that dates back to 2004. And, following tonight’s game, the Huskies must endure 4 of the next six on the road, including 3 contests against ranked opponents:  at #2 Oregon, #17 Arizona, and at home vs. #14 Stanford.

The Beavers have bounced back this season to win the last 2 games–both conference games–to get to 3-2 (2-0 in conference) after a daunting non-conference schedule that included road losses at nationally ranked TCU and Boise State. The Beavers have followed a balanced offensive attack with all-conference player Jaquizz Rodgers leading the running game, while 1st year starter Ryan Katz has come to the forefront at quarterback, a solid sophomore showing to date highlighted by a 393 passing yards and 3 total touchdown performance in the victory last weekend.

Jake and the University of Washington played Arizona State under the weather on Saturday night–both figuratively and literally–and had hoped the Northwest elements would provide an advantage over their warm weather visitors. The Sun Devils, however, showed the rain wouldn’t get in the way of their first Pac 10 victory and cruised to a 24-14 triumph over the Huskies.

Jake passed for 209 yards and a touchdown and added a touchdown on the ground, but the effort wasn’t enough to carry the Huskies past a determined and talented Arizona State team. To make matters a little more challenging, Jake battled a flu bug throughout the past few days and into the game, a game that saw a steady downpour throughout. And, although he was able to stay on the field and fight through it, coach Steve Sarkisian said Jake wasn’t himself and that his condition hampered the game plan a bit.

“I would have liked to get him out moving and running more and calling more quarterback runs,” Sarkisian said. “We weren’t able to. Think I called three quarterback runs tonight because of the long-term effect of the game. I needed him to play four quarters. I don’t know if he could have made it.”

The Huskies–who were also without offensive lineman Erik Kohler (Mono), Devin Aguilar (hip flexor), and Johri Fogerson (hip flexor)–hope to heal up quickly, as the Oregon State Beavers come to Seattle for another night game this Saturday. The Beavers are coming off a big win at Arizona and are 2-0 in the Pac-10.

The Huskies battled national power-house LSU for 4 quarters Saturday night, losing 31-23.

Locker had a renaissance night after almost a year removed from last year’s season ending injury, throwing for 321 yards and 2 touchdowns on 25 for 45 passing,locker-lsu-2 including a handful of throws out of bounds to avoid the rush. He also made some key scrambles for first downs, rushing for 51 yards on 12 carries, and was impeccable leading the 2-minute offense before halftime and at the end of the game.

There were some positive performances all around for the Huskies, a game in which they outgained the Tigers by 157 yards.

Chris Polk ran for 90 yards on 21 carries, freshman James Johnson caught the first touchdown of the season on his way to 6 catches for 63 yards (some of them key first downs), and Kavario Middleton had a career high 5 catches and a touchdown.

Washington also got solid performances from running back Johri Fogerson, wide receiver Devin Aguilar, and punter Will Mahan. The defense also had a good night, holding their own against a highly-touted SEC offense with a ton of playmakers.

Jake Locker continued to show his comfort in the new offensive scheme, finishing 12 of 19 for 181 yards and a t.d. during Saturday’s scrimmage in front of a couple of thousand people at Husky stadium. 

The scrimmage included good news all around for the dawgs, as the the team had solid plays on offense, defense and special teams. The wide receivers performed well, as Jermaine Kearse, Jordan Polk and freshman James Johnson made some great plays. Kearse had quite a showing with some catches in tight coverage and a touchdown grab from Locker. Polk showed his speed on a nice reverse run and a couple of catches over the middle, and Johnson continued to impress as he snagged a couple of Locker throws as well, keeping the chains moving.

At running back, the 5 deep of Griffin, Fogerson, Bronson, Polk and Shaw shifted between the ones and the twos regularly. Shaw had the biggest day of all, almost hitting 100 yards for the day, including a shifty 50 yard run where he showed off the speed that made him an important weapon in 2007.

On defense, Everette Thompson had a good day for the second team defense, and the starting linebacking trio of Savannah, Butler, and Foster were all over the field making plays. Quinton Richardson also had some good defensive plays in addition to his kick off return for a t.d.

Overall, a good scrimmage that left the team relatively unscathed as they move towards the September 5th kickoff with LSU.
