Washington Husky Football Spring 2016 Previews: Wide Receiver/Tight End

After a disappointing 2015 campaign, Chris Petersen hopes that replacing his wide receivers coach can spark a Washington passing attack that ranked ninth in the Pac-12.

2015 Year in Review

At the conclusion of last season, wide receivers coach Brent Pease earned the ignominious distinction of becoming the first assistant coach Chris Petersen has fired at Washington. That should tell you just about everything you need to know about the passing game's quality.

Of course, there's a bit more to the story than a mere snarky comment from yours truly. The Huskies spent the season breaking in a true freshman quarterback; their most explosive playmaker sat out the entire season with a knee injury; and the team's most effective big-body receiver averaged an unexceptional two receptions per game.
