It’s no secret the Huskies need a big boost in the receiver department. Despite ranking among the top in the Pac-12 for pass efficiency last season, Washington sat in the bottom five for passing yards per game and had difficulty coming up with huge gains on pass plays.
Thus Washington is “spotlighting the receivers” in fall camp in an attempt to not only give the wideouts more opportunities but to also take the pressure off the quarterbacks and running backs to carry the offense.
“We have a lot of playmakers out there, and just taking off some of the pressure from you and giving them a spotlight ball to let them use their skills to go make a play,” quarterback Jacob Eason said about the new strategy.
