The Seattle Times — Three impressions on Washington’s 79-69 win at Oregon State
The Dawgs are 7-0 in league play for the first time since the Truman Administration, and Percy Allen’s takeaways from Washington’s most recent win (Saturday, against Oregon State) are that Mike Hopkins’ zone defense is working admirably well, the offense is finding great success by sharing the ball among a variety of playmakers, and Nahziah Carter’s mid-range jumper has developed into an effective weapon.
247Sports — Jayden Williams recaps weekend Pac-12 visit
2019 three-star cornerback Jayden Williams (Centennial / Corona, Calif.) took his official visit to Washington over the weekend, and chatted with Greg Biggins about his impressions of Chris Petersen’s program:
“It was a great trip, I loved it there,” Williams said. “My favorite part was talking with coach Petersen and coach Lake. They’re both great guys and great coaches and I felt like I connected really well with both of them. Coach Petersen told me they really like me a lot and if I can come in and learn the playbook, there’s no reason why I can’t come in and compete for playing time right away.
“He talked about the Built For Life Program and said football is just Plan B, Plan A is succeeding in life and he talked about how he wants his players to be set up for life after football. I really like how he kept everything real with me and you can tell the players respect him a lot too.”
