UW Huskies searching for better results against another bruising running back
The Washington Huskies can see the similarities.
On Saturday, Jimmy Lake’s crew will feel them, too.
In UW’s 20-19 loss to Cal on Sept. 7 (and 8), running back Christopher Brown Jr. led the Golden Bears with 110 rushing yards and 5 yards per punishing carry. On second-and-10 from the Washington 43-yard line late in the third quarter, the 6-foot-1, 230-pound battering ram of a running back took a handoff out of the pistol, scooted past blitzing safety Myles Bryant, barreled through a diving tackle attempt from linebacker Brandon Wellington and burst into the open field. He punctuated the 21-yard run by emphatically stiff-arming freshman safety Cameron Williams into the artificial turf.
