Sarkisian Says Locker Will Start Against UCLA

Despite the effects of an injury suffered against Oregon, Jake Locker will start for the Huskies this weekend against UCLA, according to head coach Steve Sarkisian.

After having his activity held back in practice early this week, coach Steve Sarkisian took the reins off his quarterback Thursday to test and see how his right thigh injury would respond. Locker passed.

“I wanted to see him run full speed. I wanted to see him really open up and go full speed, and he was able to do that,” Sarkisian said.

Asked if the Huskies’ playcalling would be handcuffed in any way, Sarkisian said, “We won’t hold back.”

Keep an eye on UW Dawg Pound for more updates on Locker and the Huskies.
