The rain, forecast for a few days, finally arrived, and just in time for the University of Washington's first real mini-scrimmage – both Husky Stadium scoreboards were turned on, and time ran off the clock – at the end of practice Thursday.

Offensively, Jake Locker and the first-string unit moved the ball. But was it far enough?

Coach Steve Sarkisian thought so after the offense faced situational second- and third-down distances, declaring the offense the winner.

But he also conceded, "There were a lot of plays right at the stick, I'm sure both staffs will be counting before we get to this team meeting. It's going to the committee tonight. We'll see."

Again, some of the stuff happening up and down the West Coast at other Pacific-10 Conference camps:

ARIZONA: For a second consecutive season, part of the Wildcats' fall camp will be held at a military base – Fort Huachuca.

ARIZONA STATE: It's official – Thomas Weber will punt and placekick for a third consecutive season (sure keeps the scholarship dollars for special teams to a minimum).

CALIFORNIA: Incumbent Kevin Riley is distancing himself from others for the starting quarterback job (and coach Jeff Tedford noted at Pac-10 media day he won't employ a quarterback-by-committee approach this season).

OREGON: Here's something you might see more frequently – helmet cameras. Ducks quarterbacks are debuting them in practice.

OREGON STATE: New tailback trying to emerge for playing time behind star Rodgers.

STANFORD: The Cardinal started hitting in practice as well – minus running back Toby Gerhart, who should issue enough punishment later on (by the way, Stanford's open practice only drew 10 spectators).

UCLA: Maiava, a Colorado transfer, is quickly establishing himself as the offensive line's leader at center.

USC: In case you missed the biggest injury news, starting quarterback Aaron Corp will miss up to three weeks with a small fracture in his leg. This could really open the door to the Matt Barkley era.

WASHINGTON STATE: Serving his short suspension from NCAA violations while at Eastern Washington, coach Paul Wulff was back on the field with the Cougars on Wednesday.
