UW’s Chris Petersen after Rose Bowl loss: ‘We’re close to being where we want to be, but we’re not there’

PASADENA, Calif. — Here’s reaction from Washington coach Chris Petersen, Jake Browning and Myles Gaskin after the Huskies’ 28-23 loss to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl:

COACH PETERSEN: Tough one. Very frustrating when you start the first half like we started. I had no idea why. It’s on me. It’s not these kids. They practiced hard. They’re ready to play. But we really didn’t play with that edge and that chip that we normally play with, really, just, you know, across the whole squad.

I don’t know, being off that much time, it just didn’t seem the same.
