HIGHLIGHTS: Washington Defeats SDSU 21-12

Hello Dawg Fans!

So it's the day after, and some serious questions need to be answered in the wake of the Huskies 21 to 12 win over the visiting San Diego Aztecs. The offense came out like gang busters in the first quarter, complete with a screen pass for a touchdown to Kasen Williams but failed to really do anything else the rest of the game. Coach Steve Sarkisian said the offense got into a funk, and blamed his own play calling. Quarterback Keith Price blamed himself, stating that this was his worst game played in a long time despite throwing for 222 yards, 1 TD, and connecting on 25 of 35 pass attempts.

Washington suffered a couple injuries of note: Running-back Jesse Callier tripped on the turf at CenturyLink and hurt his knee, which is why he sat out the rest of the game with a giant ice pack taped around his knee. Offensive tackle Ben Riva was also injured, breaking his forearm. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Jesse Callier is having an MRI to assess the damage and see how bad or not his knee is.

The new Justin Wilcox defense performed admirably at times, especially compared to last year. However, they still gave up 200 rushing yards to the Aztecs, which does not look good with the LSU Tigers looming large this weekend. JC transfer Tre Watson intercepted a Ryan Katz pass in the first quarter for a pick six. OLB Travis Feeney stripped the ball from the SDSU RB and unfortunately Bishop Sankey proceeded to fumble the ball on the Aztec's 8 yard line, or the dawgs could have gone up by an even bigger margin. This game also  marked the Purple and Gold debut of star true freshmen Shaq Thompson, who had a few nice plays in the game.
