Observations from the UW Huskies’ eighth practice of spring football

Andre Baccellia says he caught it.

Chris Petersen says he didn’t.

Here’s the setup: late in Washington’s eighth practice of the spring on Monday morning, junior quarterback Jacob Eason took a snap during a team drill from his opponent’s 7-yard line with six seconds left. His previous two attempts to punch the football into the end zone — both via passes intended for wide receiver Terrell Bynum — were catchable but ultimately fell incomplete.

On third down, Eason took said shotgun snap, felt pressure and was flushed out to his right. Before arriving at the sideline, the 6-foot-6 signal caller fired a missile to Baccellia near the front of the end zone.
