Coach Tyrone Willingham said he was pleased enough with the inaugual Husky Walk into the stadium Saturday that he plans to repeat it before the UW-Stanford game and beyond.

“It was wonderful,” he said. “I thought that was really one of the bright spots of our day. Hopefully it will be one of the bright spots of our program in the future, to add another touch of connection with our fans, but also another sense of tradition and pride that we have as a football program that we want to share with our fans.”

Jonathan Stewart, Oregon’s star tailback from Lacey, is listed as day-to-day with rib and abdominal injuries suffered Saturday against Portland State.

Still, Stewart is always part of the story when UW or WSU plays Oregon. So, here is a good update/profile written a couple of weeks ago by our Washington State reporter, Todd Milles.

Finally, here also is the Duck’s official football site.

UW coaches said Saturday night that they have decided against playing former Ferndale star quarterback Jake Locker this season.

If Carl Bonnell can’t go next weekend at Oregon, Johnny DuRocher will start and Felix Sweetman will be in reserve.
