ON UW”S FIRST HALF PEROFMANCE AGAINST UTAH
ON THE OFFENSIVE LIVE PROTECTION
“They’ve done an excellent job, and it’s everybody. It’s our running backs in protection. It’s obviously our offensive line in protection, but it’s also the quarterback. The quarterback’s also got to be able to go through his progressions and get rid of the football. We can’t have a quarterback who’s sitting back there forever and he’s taking 10 seconds to find out where he’s throwing it. That’s where we’re going to be giving up a whole bunch of sacks. So it starts with the offensive line. Coach Huff has done an excellent job of coaching those guys up, blocking who they need to block. Our running backs are blocking who they need to block. Our tight ends are blocking who they need to block. But then the quarterback also being a great decision-maker has led to us in actuality not giving up any sacks, because the one was an actual scramble out of bounds.”

ON THE TEAM GIVING UP NO SACKS
The Husky offense has not given up a quarterback sack this season. Lake stressed that blocking is a team effort.
NEXT UP THE STANFORD CARDINAL
The Huskies will host a Stanford ( 1-2, 1-2) that is led by Senior quarterback Davis Mills and running back Austin Jones. Mills is coming off an impressive passing performance where he was 24/32 for 209 yards and one touchdown in Stanford’s win over Cal. Jones played his part in the win with 21 carries for 85 and scored 2 touchdowns .
