I tried to line up an interview with Washington co-offensive coordinator Matt Lubick prior to the UW-Oregon State game earlier this season.
I figured Lubick would be a good story. He was Oregon's offensive coordinator last year as part of Mark Helfrich's staff and been on the OSU staff early in his career.
It didn't work out. I was told politely but firmly that UW coach Chris Petersen's program isn't interested in doing those kinds stories with reporters covering an opposing team.
That is Petersen: laser focused, and all-business.
I think he will have the Huskies more than ready to play Oregon when the Northwest rivals collide Saturday at 7 p.
