Browning suffered an apparent right shoulder injury last week that prevented him from playing the final series in the Huskies’ loss to Oregon and Peterson says that his freshman quarterback is day-to-day (just like “everybody” according to Petersen).

Stanford tailback Christian McCaffrey leads the country in all-purpose yards and rushed for 243 yards in his last game, a school record…
The Washington Huskies are in town Saturday evening and books opened the Cardinal as 19-point home faves but that has since dropped to -16.5.
The Cardinal have not lost since they fell to Northwestern in the first game of the season.
“I’m still in a state of disbelief”, Shaw said.
Although much of the game was back and forth, the overtime period became an onslaught of Stanford pressure and opportunities. “I just put my arms out where I thought it would land and I was able to catch it. Once I caught it, I wasn’t going to let go”. Combine that with a bad day from the Cardinal and a career day for the Wildcats defense and, well, 16-6 gets a lot more reasonable.
Washington coach Chris Petersen said Browning was “day-to-day” on Monday, the typical designation Petersen gives for any player who has not suffered a long-term injury. They will face the Pac-12’s top defense in terms of points and yards allowed this week.
UCLA coach Jim Mora isn’t happy with back-to-back Thursday night games, while Arizona is filing a formal complaint with the conference over an 8 p.m. kickoff at Washington on October 31 with a road game the following week. It would then be on the offense to hold on to the ball and take advantage of good field position – it worked before, the Huskies creating three USC turnovers to just one of their own in the win over the Trojans two weeks back.
“How McCaffrey’s not mentioned in the Heisman thing, I have no idea”. He’s such a tough kid. “I think this university (Washington), is too good for us to bring a few one in an have to chase them around to make the academics important to them”. He’s a special athlete and extremely smart. He completed 17-of-26 passes but threw for just 178 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Stanford’s season-opening loss to Northwestern was an mitigated disaster, especially offensively. “We look to them for guidance and do what is expected of us”. This should be a defensive struggle throughout. “After earning a corner after continued pressure in the combined overtimes, the 5’10” Collins strongly headed a goal directly over Washington State goalkeeper Ella Dederick for her second goal of the season.
