‘It’s a dream come true for me’: Jimmy Lake’s competitiveness has Washington’s defense atop Pac-12 again

LOS ANGELES — His laser pointer was forgotten back in Seattle, so Jimmy Lake has had to make do with his pointer finger during film-study sessions with his defensive backs the last few days.

Jordan Miller, Washington’s senior cornerback, laughed Saturday morning while recreating a scene.

There’s Lake, the Huskies’ co-defensive coordinator, standing in front of the room as usual, but without his trusted laser he’s had to walk up close to the screen and use a finger to point out specific details and corrections to be made. Of course, as he’s doing so, Lake ends up blocking the view of the screen to about half of the players in the room.
