Locker shines for UW

SEATTLE – Washington’s football practice, which included a half of scrimmaging, was open to the public Saturday, and the 1,000 or so Husky fans who showed up had plenty of moments to cheer and to groan.

The good included solid play from fan-favorite Jake Locker, a little bit of trickery and a couple of big passing plays. The bad? Well, there were the three snaps out of the shotgun that went over the head of the quarterbacks, a shanked punt, a couple of costly holds and some dropped passes.

Locker started slow but picked things up as the scrimmage went on. In the second quarter, Locker connected on seven of his final eight attempts, including a 57-yard touchdown to Marcel Reece. Locker finished (unofficially) 10 for 18 for 134 yards and one touchdown.

Locker also rushed four times for 25 yards.
