Huskies Prance, Trojans Huddle: Pac-10 Spring Football Recap

Checking in on spring football with SBN’s Pac-10 communities.
Washington held their spring game at night, for which they are to be applauded because everything looks fancier at night. And at the center of attention, as you might imagine, was their presumptive backup quarterback:

The undisputed star of the evening was QB Nick Montana who was 21 of 34 for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Montana has been impressive all spring while battling it out with Keith Price for the back up QB role. Price as 4 of 9 for 39 yards. Heisman hopeful Jake Locker was 3 of 7 for 15 yards in limited duty.Meanwhile, further south, things got a little more interesting in Los Angeles than the Trojan Huddle usually allows:

Matt Barkley’s hand met the top of a helmet during USC’s scrimmage, allowing Mitch Mustain to come full circle from “spoiled kid Houston Nutt had to keep in line” to “future third-string USC punter” to “okay, maybe all qbs are doomed under Houston Nutt, and Mustain’s actually now an underdog, and my we’re just confused now.” Mustain went ham with 299 yards and 5 TDs in the scrimmage, allowing you to do what everyone does in spring scrimmages:
a.) My god, the USC offense is going to rip some ass this fall.
b.) My god, the USC defense is going to get its ass ripped this fall.
This could get fun. Stay tuned to SBN’s Conquest Chronicles for all your Mitch Mustain augury needs.
