Earlier today, Washington head football coach Jimmy Lake met with local Seattle media via a Zoom webinar to discuss the outlook of the season as they prepare for their season opener against the Oregon State this weekend. Lake spoke about the cancelation of their game against the California Bears this past week, and how the team refocused over the weekend. He also took the time to talk about the Beavers and what that challenge will present for the Huskies this Saturday night.
Here are things of note that Coach Lake said…..
