A heads-up was never given. Johri Fogerson walked into the University of Washington football locker room, a few days before last year's game against Oklahoma, and saw something odd hanging from his stall.

It was a designated white jersey, not purple.

"I go, 'Jose (Naguit), what's this? You gave me the wrong-colored jersey,'" said Fogerson, who had trained all of the 2008 fall camp with the running backs, and that carried into the season.

"He goes, 'No, baby, you're on defense.'"

That is how former coach Tyrone Willingham introduced Forgerson, an O'Dea product, to his new position, which lasted all the way through last spring camp under new coach Steve Sarkisian.

ESPN's basketball version of College GameDay will visit the University of Washington on Feb. 20, when the Huskies host UCLA in a men's game at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.

Jobs to be had in the Pacific-10 Conference starting now. Here is a roundup of the camps:

ARIZONA: Willie Tuitama was special. And the Wildcats are learning, not just any quarterback can run their wide-open spread attack. In fact, in the end, this might be running back Nic Grigsby's offense to shine in.

ARIZONA STATE: Coach Dennis Erickson was cranky about last year's mediocre showing. Usually when that happens, a big rebound is around the corner. No wonder Erickson has been hyper-sensitive to his team's effort.

CALIFORNIA: Like the Huskies, Cal will hold a team scrimmage today. Looks like it will be without its star tailback, too.

OREGON: The Ducks cannot afford to have the special-teams horror they had in last year's game against Boise State. And when they take the field, they'll have two new starters – likely Rice at punter, and Flint at kicker.

OREGON STATE: The Beavers seem to have a bad run on receiver fortunes, and Monday was no exception. Catchings, their go-to weapon, is out for the season with a hand injury.

STANFORD: Is this the year the Cardinal is a factor in the conference race? Not if you listen to some experts – and the Stanford players aren't.

UCLA: The Bruins have their own injury issues, particularly on the defensive line (Ward, Stokes). So, the reshuffle is on.

USC: O'Dowd, the team's best offensive lineman at center, is out a few weeks with a dislocated kneecap – leaving the starting battery on the shelf.

WASHINGTON STATE: Sort of a look-back in today's Spokesman-Review, on team doctor Ed Tingstad (a great guy, I might add), who is a former Cougars' running back beset by injuries.
