Although the injury hasn’t made life easy for Jake Locker, the time off the practice field has been beneficial:
Rest May Be Best For Locker
In fact, while his coach, Steve Sarkisian, said he doubted Locker could have played this weekend, Locker insisted otherwise.
“I would have been OK,” he said.
He said, though, that a brief bit of rest isn’t so bad after the eight-week stretch the Huskies just concluded — every team UW has played has a winning record, and four games were undecided until the final minute.
“In a sense he’s kind of embraced it, the opportunity to just kind of rest, not only physically but mentally,” Sarkisian said. “I think this has been a good week for him.”
Locker described how the injury felt throughout the game:
“It just felt like it was a Charley Horse through the course of the game,” Locker said. “Once I was warm it was no big deal. … I had a little bit of a limp. It was just tight. I felt it, obviously, but I didn’t think it altered the way I played the game at all.”
