As can be expected, most of the focus today was on new starting quarterback Carl Bonnell. And to a lesser degree, currently redshirting freshman Jake Locker.

The Times’ lead piece was on Bonnell, the notebook leading with Locker. The Everett Herald had the same game plan, with the main story on Bonnell running a simpler offense, and the notes on the backup quarterbacks.

The P-I took a different tack, with Locker the lead of a piece on the Husky quarterbacks. The News Tribune’s story was similar, asking what happens if Bonnell goes down with an injury against Cal.

The P-I’s Ted Miller, swimming upstream harder than a red-tinged salmon, credits discredited former coach Rick Neuheisel for this year’s success. And he has numbers to back up his argument.
