It must take a lot to impress Keishawn Bierria.
A heads-up play from Washington’s junior linebacker on an onside kick put the finishing touches on the Huskies’ 44-18 rout of Arizona State. Bierria’s reaction to his 45-yard return for a touchdown?
“Just doing my job,” he said. “We practice those reps all the time, the onside kicks.”
Arizona State’s Zane Gonzalez attempted a soft onside kick straight up the middle of the field, hoping to recover it himself. But Bierria was there to scoop it up and run the other way untouched for his first career touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
