Washington Huskies Weekly Update

The Huskies wrapped up their 7th practice of the spring on Saturday with about 1,800 fans in attendance. In my opinion there were some definite positives that came out of this practice. The projected kicker for next year, Erik Folk, was 3 for 3 on his field goal attempts, hitting from 47, 46 and 35 yards out. Also on special teams Jordan Polk took a kickoff back for a touchdown.

Another Tuiasosopo is playing for the Huskies, Trenton. He had an athletic diving interception on a pass that went through the hands of tight end Kavario Middleton. Also the defensive line looked much improved as they gave up only a couple runs over 10 yards during the 80 play scrimmage.

Even though this is spring practice it still is great to hear positives, or anything for that matter (Tyrone Willingham and his closed practices). Also of note no injuries were reported except for running back Curtis Shaw who already had a bruised knee coming into the scrimmage and aggravated the injury then sat out the rest of scrimmage.

Oh and I almost forgot, on Saturday the Women's varsity eight beat the Cougars by almost 2 full seconds, this was the first time in 3 years that they had beaten Wazzu. UW ended up sweeping all 10 of the races versus Washington State on the Snake River, which is the Cougs home course.
