Washington head coach Chris Petersen would’ve preferred to have a bye week somewhere in the middle of the schedule. Instead, the Huskies’ week off came with just two games left in the regular season.
It’s strange, he said, to have it so late. Then again, he doesn’t know any college football coach who’s completely happy with his team’s schedule.
“I’m glad we have it now,” he said at his press conference on Monday. “I think ideally it would’ve been somewhere more in the middle.”
Without a game on Saturday, the Huskies were able to take some time away from football this week.
