Here is most of what Huskies coach Chris Petersen said at the podium during Pac-12 media days on Wednesday at the Loews Hollywood Hotel, as transcribed by ASAP Sports.
CHRIS PETERSEN: “Afternoon, everybody. Excited to be here. Football season right around the corner. I think we feel excited about our chances this year. We've got some good returning players.
“Two of them are here today. Linebacker Keishawn Bierria, Narbonne High School, out of the area, and our quarterback Jake Browning from Folsom High School. I think those two guys have done a great job all summer with leadership things, helping our team improve through the summer when coaches aren't around.
