On Saturday the Huskies were defeated by Nebraska 56-21 in which they did not play there best football at all. Washington who had high hopes for this season are now 1-2 and will have to have to play above 500. football in with a tough Pac 10 schedule.
This was also a bad loss for fifth year senior QB Jake Locker. This loss combined with his atrocious stats has for sure put him a bad spot if he wants to win the Heisman Trophy come December. His 4 for 20 for 71 yards 1 TD an 2 INT is defiantly a Nightmare for any Collete QB.
This is just one of those examples that UW is not ready to play with the big teams like Nebraska. Its one thing to be beat 56-21 on the road to Nebraska, its another to get humiliated like that in your stadium which is one of the loudest stadiums in the nation.
Whatever, it was on Saturday it just went wrong. However, I don't think all of UW's mistakes would of equaled 35 points so lets give Nebraska some credit to go in to Husky Stadium and win. They said the crowd noise wasn't going to be a factor and it wasn't.
The bright side is we do have a very young team. Playing this type of completion will help us two-three years down the road.
The Huskies schedule also works out perfectly. The Huskies will have a a bye week before they start preparing the the Trojans. USC is 3-0 however, they have had a schedule that I believe Washington could run the table with.
Last time I asked you to ask your self a few questions. We got some of those questions answered in a negative way today. However, I think we just have to be patient, Washington will be back at the top one day we just don't know exactly when.
