Instant Reaction: Thunderstruck Washington Shocked by Cal

Thunder and lightning rained down on Husky Stadium on Saturday night. But the weather did nothing to detract the Washington Huskies from opening their PAC 12 schedule with a tough loss to the California Golden Bears 20 to 19 in a game that concluded at an hour that many early risers on the East Coast were just beginning to think about breakfast.

The extensive delay - tallying just shy of three hours - presented a great challenge for both teams. On one hand, a traveling Cal team already coping with the normal challenges that accompany a road game, had to deal with the extra hours tacked on to the game and the issue of logistics that go into the normal post-game departure routine.
