Earlier today, Washington head football coach Jimmy Lake met with local Seattle media via a Zoom webinar to discuss the progress of fall camp for the Huskies. He spoke about the importance of voting during this upcoming election and about the quarterback battle for the starting position. Lake also discussed his philosophy about having preseason games and why he tries to “recreate” the game in practice.
