And on top of all of that he might be the nicest guy I've ever met. He should be the guy the NCAA puts on all its posters.

He's our guy. It's a confidence boost for our team knowing we're not trying to figure out who the quarterback is from one series to the next.

It was important to move past that stage. It was a dark page for the university. Coach Willingham brings new light, new blood into the program. It was refreshing.

The Husky community has been searching for a Don James replacement, and this is the closest they've come to finding someone with that style of running a team.

I feel like we are getting more movement up front this year, but obviously we are not getting it to the point that the backs are comfortable to ram it in there. It's a trust relationship between the line and the running backs. He's got to trust that the holes will be there, and we've got to trust that when the holes are there he's going to hit them.

It was just a tough time, and there's an uneasy feeling you get when you don't know what's going on. The unease crept around our program for a good two or three years.

He's a great athlete who has turned himself into a great quarterback.

We have to rectify it this week or else it's going to be a very long season.
