UW’s Browning had a career game, sore shoulder and all

On the way to trouncing Arizona, 49-3, the freshman quarterback had the first reception of his career, the first rushing touchdown of his career — and he threw for a career-high four touchdowns.

If there were any lingering questions about the health of Jake Browning’s throwing shoulder, he put those to bed early Saturday night.

The Huskies’ true-freshman quarterback had, without question, the most impressive performance of his young career at Washington. On Halloween night, during the latest kickoff in Husky Stadium history, he also showed off a couple of new tricks along the way.

In a 49-3 dismantling of Arizona, Browning had the first reception of his career, on a 4-yard pass from running back Deontae Cooper, and the first rushing touchdown of his career, on a cheeky 12-yard run toward the left pylon.
