Two-tailback formations are touch and go. Players seem to love them in order to create favorable matchups. Some old-school coaches hate them, because it can weaken protection schemes.
The Huskies showed a tad of it in spring camp, but not with the personnel grouping that coach Steve Sarkisian really thinks is most effective in that set – sophomore Johri Fogerson and redshirt freshman Chris Polk.
They put it on display Wednesday night during a third-down offense period. On the first play, a third-and-1, Polk split wide, and Fogerson took a handoff up the gut to gain a first down.
The next play, it was Polk who got loose for a 6-yard burst.
Husky Stadium has survived as the USA bid committee has cut its field to 27 cities still in the running to host games if FIFA awards the 2018 or 2022 World Cup to this country.
Both Qwest Field and Husky Stadium remain among the contending venues.
More information is available at GoHuskies.com; and also from the USA bid committee site.
Preseason camp news from Wednesday:
ARIZONA: Lewis is a loud leader, and the Wildcats' most NFL-ready player at linebacker.
ARIZONA STATE: A few Sun Devils feel the offense will rebound just fine.
CALIFORNIA: Lots of injuries, lots of frustration – so much, coach Jeff Tedford is reportedly closing access to fall practices. No links available.
OREGON: Some things, football players just don't like – shaking hands in what is turning out to be a heated non-conference rivalry game with Boise State.
OREGON STATE: Not a great night for James Rodgers. He tweaked a knee, and lost a contact lens.
STANFORD: Top quarterbacks, including Clover Park's Pritchard, look sharp at team scrimmage.
UCLA: Kia, a candidate to start at left guard, is carted from practice field with knee injury.
USC: Seems like most of the news these days centers on the quarterback situation. And the Trojans have important decisions to make concerning Corp and Barkley.
WASHINGTON STATE: Seeking an energy bump, coach Paul Wulff has moved fall camp workouts off the practice field, and on to Martin Stadium (by the way, former WSU quarterback Alex Brink is back with the Houston Texans).
