Washington Much More Than Locker

Sanders: UW wideouts formidable

Some more about Washington...

 

You most likely know a fair amount about quarterback Jake Locker by now.

 

Nebraska secondary coach Marvin Sanders was asked Monday about UW wide receivers Jermaine Kearse and Devin Aguilar, regarded by some as perhaps the best wideout duo in the Pac-10.

 

"These guys, they're really well schooled at understanding coverages, it seems like," Sanders said. "They find spots in zones, and they can have good runs after their catches."

 

Kearse, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound junior, has 14 catches in the first two games for 287 yards and four touchdowns. Last season, he had 50 receptions for 866 yards and eight TDs.

 

Aguilar, a 6-foot, 185-pound junior, this season has 12 catches for 138 yards and a TD.

 

Meanwhile, Washington also features sophomore running back Chris Polk, a 5-11, 210-pounder who last season rushed for 1,113 yards, averaging 4.9 per carry. This season, he's averaging 104.5 rushing yards (5.8).

 

"He's quick and tough," Sanders said. "He can find a hole now. They run a lot of zone and stretches with him. He kind of finds his hole, and he can take off and go."

They will a good test for our Defense.

lets hope they dont watch film of the TTech game or this actually could be a higher scoreing game then we all would like to believe

I say let em watch that defensive film. The defense that showed up in that game hasnt been seen since. If they expect our D to play like that, Mr. Locker will be in for a long day.

[Husker Z]

I'm glad we have the best secondary in the country and a VERY good D-Line to go with it.

 

I like how we match up and I really like our chances in this game. Bo's teams have shown that they almost always bounce back strong after a lackluster performance.

Washington isn't Texas Tech, and simply watching film isn't going to make them into Texas Tech. If they beat us they'll do it in their own style, using their own weapons. Locker is 10x the running threat that Sheffield was, and their wideouts aren't as good.

Kearse may not end up being as good as Crabtree, he won't put up crazy numbers because we don't run a spread crazy offense, but he is a legitimate NFL prospect.

[GHOST]

The spread offense is something else lol I think its gonna be a thing of the past b4 to long. I do think texas will go back to throwing it down the feild. Their running game is still up in the air, I guess we will see if they have one when they play texas tech

well, he's only in his junior season, and he's putting some big numbers up already. i wouldnt rule anything out haha...

As explosive as Kearse and Aguilar are, I really think Polk is gonna be the Huskies' X-factor in this game. No doubt our Dline and LBs are gonna have to plug the holes and wrap him up. If we take away the run, it will make Washington that much more one-dimensional, and that one dimension plays right into our primary strength - pass defense.

We're well versed on the oddity that is the TTech offense and don't expect any teams to put up those numbers. I think the point is more that TTech had better WR's across the board in their offense than UW does in their own offense. No disrespect intended either; TTech is just a ridiculous passing team.

None of the Tech wide receivers were as talented as the Husky duo

Of course not...

Yep!

 

That's the bottom line I think. We simply "must" stop their running game. We do that and they're in deep do-do.

I disagree.
