Coach Tyrone Willingham’s Huskies not only fell to 0-4 overall and 0-2 in the Pacific-10 Conference with a 35-28 loss to Stanford, but they also lost quarterback Jake Locker for an undetermined period when he broke his right thumb during second quarter action.

Stanford quarterback Tavita Pritchard, formerly of Clover Park High School, completed 16 of 24 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.

The Huskies’ defense gave up 466 yards – and 244 of those came on the ground, despite Washington’s agreement all week that its top defensive priority was stopping the run. []

Washington athletic director Scott Woodward met with reporters after the game to say that he stands by the position he has held all along — he does not intend to fire head coach Tyrone Willingham midseason.

"I stick with what I said last week," he said. "I told you last week that I was less happy than I was the week before. Well, I'm even less happy than I was. But we have seven games, and we are going to play those seven games and no, there is not going to be a change this week. We will look at the whole body of work of the season and assess it at the end of the season." [
