What the University of Washington hired in Steve Sarkisian was not only an energetic and innovative coaching mind, but it wanted to cash in on some – if not, all – the well-established treasures that come from the offense he ran at Southern California.

We know Sarkisian will stay committed to the run game (pay attention, tailbacks Chris Polk, Willie Griffin, Brandon Johnson and Demetrius Bronson). We know the run game will set up play-action pass (should be easier for you than it's been, quarterback Jake Locker). We know he likes to feature the tight end (hear that, Kavario Middleton). And we know he'll try and hit on a few big plays on seam and slant routes (yes, that means you, receivers D'Andre Goodwin, Jermaine Kearse, Devin Aguilar and maybe even Anthony Boyles).

Entering the final week of the Huskies' spring camp, Sarkisian will install the rest of the meat of his playbook to his offense. By his estimation, "75 to 80 percent" of it will have been played out on the field.

Or as Locker put it, the "seventh (chapter)" of a 10-chapter sequence.
