3 Names to know

Jermaine Kearse Washington receiver

The sophomore had just one catch for 5 yards in this game last year, but expect him to pass that total in Washington’s first possession. He’s become Jake Locker’s go-to receiver, with six touchdowns among his 39 catches for 625 yards. And the 6-foot-2, 198-pounder has been on a roll of late, with two touchdown catches in back-to-back games versus UCLA and Oregon State.

Andy Mattingly WSU linebacker

It’s hard to believe – especially for Mattingly – but this will be the final game in a Washington State uniform for the Mead High graduate. Mattingly – who came out of high school as a safety, played linebacker for his first two years in Pullman and defensive end last year before returning to linebacker this one – will have played in 46 games, starting 22 of them. The 6-4, 249-pound Mattingly has 211 career tackles, including 66 this year.

Mason Foster Washington linebacker

Foster might be the most hated guy in Tucson, after his 37-yard interception return against Arizona turned the game in the Huskies’ favor as time was running out. But the 6-2, 244-pound outside linebacker has been tough all season. Has been in double figures in tackles twice, including that game with the Wildcats (11). The other came two weeks ago against Oregon State (10), in which he had 2.5 for loss and forced a fumble. He’s second on the team with 72 tackles and two sacks.
