Some players remarked the first two days of the University of Washington fall camp were physical enough just wearing jerseys and using no shoulder protection.

Imagine what Wednesday was like when the Huskies laced up the shoulder pads for the first time and went to work for just over two hours.

For one, coach Steve Sarkisian was pleased.

"You could feel it, it was physical," Sarkisian said. "It's who we need to be as a football team. I was impressed with our defense. They came out with a great intensity. I thought our offense got into it … as we got moving."

Here is some of the information floating around on action in other Pacific-10 Conference camps:

ARIZONA: Lighter, quicker Dotsy is up next to replace graduated three-year starter Joe Longacre at right guard.

ARIZONA STATE: 89.1 yards on the ground in 2008 won't cut it. The Sun Devils have to improve on that, won't they? It was their lowest rushing total since 1946.

CALIFORNIA: First day in pads Tuesday, and Heisman Trophy candidate Jahvid Best held up to the hits just fine.

OREGON: It's a common feeling. Teams don't like going to play on the "Smurf Turf." Add tight end Ed Dickson to the list.

OREGON STATE: Lyle Moevao is coming around slowly. Sean Canfield is coming on fast. How do the Beavers avoid a quarterback controversy in August?

STANFORD: Not much covered. If you have a subscription to Scout.com, there is a feature on local product David DeCastro, an offensive lineman.

UCLA: Touted Ramirez is drawing comparisons to former star Maurice Jones-Drew at tailback. Is he up to it?

USC: Not so fast to clear quarterback Aaron Corp. He woke up with swelling in his knee, and today will have an MRI on it.

WASHINGTON STATE: The Cougars start two-a-day practices this morning, and redshirt freshman Daniel Simmons, a California kid, is doing his best to grab a hold of a starting cornerback spot (which, in recent past, has been a troublesome spot).
