The Huskies are trying their best to rattle Jacob Eason with a cacophony of confusion. It’s a purposeful plan to prepare their junior quarterback for No. 22 Washington’s road opener and what he’ll face Saturday afternoon at Brigham Young.
“They’ve got the speakers out there blaring crowd noise,” Eason said. “And we’ve got the guys over-communicating. We’re always talking about verbal combat. That’s going to be huge going into this environment. Over emphasizing being loud, just screaming out the cadence.”
Ask Nick Harris about it.
So far, the preseason All-American center has been impressed with Eason’s composure, not just this week, but how the 6-foot-6, 227-pound signal-caller that teammates affectionately call “Skinny” has handled the compliments and critiques following UW’s 2-1 start.
