Before the 10-2 record or a Fiesta Bowl berth, the story of No. 11 Washington’s season was crisis management.
Namely because of injuries. UW faced losses at defensive back and receiver. But the biggest hit came when the Huskies lost star junior left tackle Trey Adams to a season-ending knee injury in early October.
Trying to find Adams’ replacement going into the second half of the season was a problem. UW would find a solution. All the Huskies did was reconfigure the left side of the line, alter their offensive approach and prepare themselves for next season in the process.
