Chris Petersen wasn’t happy with the performance of Washington’s rushing game in Saturdays’ win over North Dakota. He was blunt in his evaluation, saying simply that it was “not good.”
On Monday afternoon, Petersen revisited the subject. His evaluation? The Huskies weren’t clean enough.
“(North Dakota) is a movement defense, twisting and looping,” he said. “Our guys were probably playing a little too tentative. When you do that, it usually never looks good.”
That’s something that needs to change before the season-opener against Utah, a team that held its first two opponents — Weber State and North Illinois — to an average of 81.
