The theme of the day, and certainly much of the Steve Sarkisian era in University of Washington football has been forgetting the past – both record-wise, and some of the troubling transgressions of the players.

Sarkisian calls it a "clean slate," and talked more in depth about it after the team's second fall-camp practice Tuesday at Husky Stadium.

"We have to remind ourselves … they're 18-, 19-, 20-year old guys. Everybody can make a mistake here and there. They're still finding their way. Sometimes you feel, 'Man, I made so many wrong decisions, or things aren't going my way that it's doom and gloom.' When you sometimes have a ray of hope and an opportunity there, it can motivate you," Sarkisian said.

"I think with our team right now, we have quite a few guys that have been motivated to the point of, 'Man I've got an opportunity and I want to make the most of it.'"

We'll try and update what's going on outside the epicenter that is known as Husky Stadium this fall camp, so y'all know that other coaches and players in the Pacific-10 Conference are working just as diligently as the home purple-and-gold Huskies:

ARIZONA: Slimmer Horton trying to make transition to defensive end.

ARIZONA STATE: Hometown speedster set for big year in receiving corps.

CALIFORNIA: Reserve punter getting double duty as Bears get into pads.

OREGON: Black jerseys signal rough-and-tumble scrimmage for Ducks.

OREGON STATE: If Jacquizz were to get hurt again … what is the Beavers' backup plan?

STANFORD: Swimmer freestyles right onto the Cardinal football roster.

UCLA: It's Prince's time to lead the Bruins (and he even has a UCLA clock in his bedroom).

USC: This is the same extended inhale that would take place if UW's Locker went down in practice.

WASHINGTON STATE: After a tumultuous career, showing flashes of brilliance, and even more head-scratching behavior off the field, running back Chris Ivory has been told to get out of Pullman. I think the position group is deep enough to absorb Ivory's loss.
