It's Oregon week and that means that the Huskies have tightened things up which players and coaches are available to the media.
It wasn't a large contingent, but it was a good group that featured the starting quarterback, starting left tackle and the offensive coordinator.
QB Jacob Eason, coming off of the win over Arizona, talked about the progress of the offense as well as what it is like being a relative outsider to the Washington/Oregon rivalry although, being from the area and growing up a Husky fan, he is aware of how much it means to both programs as well as their fanbases.
Asked about the Arizona game, Eason said the team kept fighting and got the result they wanted, but admitted that things were a little flat and something needed to happen.
Eason also talked about the emergence of freshman wide receiver Puka Nacua and what that could mean moving forward.
Bush Hamdan also was asked about Nacua's playmaking abilities and noted the first big play of the second half to the freshman wideout and how that was a key play in the game.
He felt the first half was a struggle against Arizona because of execution, so he wanted to be patient with things and continue to give the players chances to make plays.
Asked about the Oregon defense, he said they are probably deeper than almost anyone in the country and their secondary is playing very well and the Huskies will have to be really sound on offense in order to move the ball against them.
Senior left tackle Trey Adams recalled what he was doing the past couple of Oregon games, since he was injured, and said last year he shot a deer near his family's home in Wenatchee, but was listening to the game on the radio and was disappointed with the loss.
