The first day of fall football camp at Husky Stadium was such a big thing Friday that the Blue Angels showed up.
OK, maybe it was coincidence that the Blue Angels were flying as the first practice of the season was starting, but it proved quite a backdrop for what Husky defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake said is a special day.
“There is a lot of excitement,” Lake said. “You’ve got some rookies who have never played college practice in a real practice and you want to see how they are going to react. That is a great icebreaker for everyone and I am sure a lot of the young guys are saying that was faster than I thought it would be, but are showering up and saying, ‘That was fun and I can’t wait to get back out here tomorrow.
