As coach “Doc” Hines said in “Remember the Titans” after Sunshine’s first snap at QB, “We’ve got ourselves a football player!” I’m sure Chris Petersen had that exact line literally running through his head while watching Jacob Eason and the Washington Huskies dismantle the Eastern Washington University Eagles last Saturday afternoon, to the tune of a ho-hum 47-14.
Literally, that line.
The Huskies dominated on both sides of the ball, but were far from perfect. In a lot of ways, that’s the best way possible to come out of a game against an FCS opponent - the feel-good win, but plenty of coaching work to be done.
