LOS ANGELES — Never before has Washington’s defense been on the field as long as this Husky defense was against California.
In UW’s 30-24 loss on Sept. 26, the Bears offense ran 92 plays and had the ball for nearly 40 minutes — 39 minutes, 49 seconds to be exact — and UW defensive tackle Elijah Qualls seemed to feel every second of it the next morning.
“I stayed in bed for a good hour, two hours just lying down,” Qualls said. “I was so sore I could barely move.”
Up next for the Huskies is No.
