If you somehow sneaked into Husky Stadium to watch the University of Washington's football practice (and I'd recommend hiding if you did. Security is tight), you saw a lot of different-numbered jerseys being worn.
Like Keith Price donning a No. 9 jersey, not his usual No. 17.
And Luther Leonard was not a slimmed-down Kavario Middleton wearing No. 80. He was playing speedster Terrance Toliver of the Tigers.
Welcome to regular-season football.
Long before coach Steve Sarkisian came in for his inaugural regular-season press conference as the Washington Huskies' football coach on Monday afternoon at the Founders' Club, he'd already made waves.
Sarkisian firmed up his ever-changing depth charge heading into the opener Saturday against No. 11 Louisiana State.
The biggest shocker came with the reshuffling of the Huskies offensive line:
• Ben Ossai has been a left tackle. That is where he spent his first three seasons before Sarkisian and the staff moved him inside last spring to left guard. That is where he spent most of the preseason camp as well.
And as of Monday, that is where he'll return.
