How would a young Washington team respond in its first game on the road?
The results speak for themselves (but if they don’t, we’ll add some context). Here are three impressions from the Huskies’ 45-19 win over BYU.
Eason on the mark
A hostile road environment did not affect Jacob Eason much on Saturday.
So little, in fact, that Washington’s junior quarterback completed 24 of 28 passes for 290 yards with three touchdowns and an interception — and one of those incompletions was voluntarily thrown out of bounds.
Eason — a 6-foot-6, 227-pounder from Lake Stevens — capped Washington’s first two drives with 17-yard touchdown passes to running back Richard Newton and wide receiver Aaron Fuller, respectively.
