The loss to Auburn was a difficult game to swallow, Washington offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan admitted Wednesday. It’s a defeat, he said, that will stay with him for “a long, long time.”
The sentiment was echoed by his players as many of them fixated on mistakes that stalled drives and left points on the board, allowing Auburn to come away with a 21-16 victory last Saturday.
The Huskies are angry about the season opener, but head coach Chris Petersen stopped short Thursday of saying that frustration will shape UW’s identity this season.
He wants his players and coaches to be angry, but not just because of Auburn.
