2 Page 2 Washington vs. COLORADO HUSKY STADIUM OCT. 20, :30 P.M. PT (FOX) THE HEAD COACH: When Chris Petersen was hired after the 2013 season, no one knew for sure how long it might take to return the Husky program to the top levels of the college football world. It turns out, it took about three years. In 2016, the Huskies had their best season since 2000 and one of their best ever, winning the Pac-12 Championship, earning a spot in the College Football Playoff and finishing ranked No. 4 in the final polls. They did it with high-achieving, young players across the starting lineup while also succeeding in the classroom at an unprecedented and sustained rate. That success continued in 2017, as the UW posted back-to-back, 10-win seasons for the first time since and earned a spot in an New Years Six bowl game while going 10-3 overall and 7-2 in Pac-12 play. In the meantime, during the fall academic quarter, the Huskies posted a team GPA of 3.16, shattering the program s record, set the previous fall. Petersen, who built a reputation as an offensive innovator who carried the Boise State football program to its highest highs and had been courted by innumerable programs, was swayed to take on a new challenge when he agreed to become head coach of the Huskies in December of Petersen s Built for Life philosophy, on which the program is based, achieved its highest level of fruition to date with the successes of the team in Along with those on-field victories, the team continued to achieve at never-before-seen levels academically as the team achieved a 3.09 grade point average during the fall academic quarter. The UW led the Pac-12 in 17 different team statistical categories. Following the 2016 season, in May of 2017, Petersen was honored with the Stallings Award, awarded annually to a college head football coach who is both a humanitarian and an exceptional coach, and named after former Alabama and Texas A&M head coach Gene Stallings. In 2015, Petersen s Huskies, featuring one of the nation s youngest squads and a schedule ranked by many as the nation s toughest, rallied for the Dawgs sixth consecutive bowl berth, which resulted in a victory over Southern Miss in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. A stout Husky defense (first in the Pac-12 in scoring and total defense) led the way as a freshman-laden offense showed steady growth en route to a 7-6 season record. Off the field, Petersen s impact on the program s academic success was clear as well. During the season (fall academic quarter, 2015), the football team posted a team GPA of 3.12, highest in team history, breaking the old record, set the previous spring. In his first season at UW, Petersen led the Huskies to an 8-6 record and a berth in the TicketCity Cactus Bowl. He became the fastest active FBS coach to reach 100 career victories doing so in 117 games and tied with Knute Rockne for fifth fastest all-time. In 2014, UW produced three first-team and seven honorable mention All-Pac-12 players, and five players earned first or second team Academic All-Pac-12 recognition, including Danny Shelton who was named First-Team Academic All-American a first for the UW since Petersen, the only two-time winner of the Paul Bear Bryant Award (2006 and 2009), compiled an exceptional record in his eight seasons as Boise State head coach ( ), including two unbeaten seasons (13-0 in 2006 and 14-0 in 2009) and two BCS bowl berths. He won five conference titles and posted a 57-6 record in conference play. Petersen, who also won the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award in 2010, led the Broncos to 10 or more wins in seven of his eight seasons and to 12 or more in four straight ( ). In 2006, Petersen s first season in charge in Boise, he led the Broncos to their first undefeated season since 1958, when the school was a junior college. The 2006 season was capped by a overtime win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, a game remembered by many as one of the greatest in bowl-game history. That Boise team ended the year ranked No. 5 in the final Associated Press top 25 poll. The following season, the Broncos went 10-3 and finished out of the polls for what would be the only time in Petersen s first seven seasons. The 2008 squad went 12-1 and ranked No. 11 in the final top 25, finishing the regular season undefeated. In 2009, Petersen led the Broncos to their second undefeated campaign and another Fiesta Bowl berth. Boise State beat TCU, 17-10, in Arizona, becoming the first team from a non- BCS conference ever to win two BCS bowl games. The 09 Broncos checked in at No. 4 in the final AP poll. The 2010 season ended with a 12-1 record, a No. 9 final ranking and a win in the Las Vegas Bowl, the first of three straight trips to Vegas for Boise State. In 2011, BSU once again went 12-1, finishing with a No. 8 final ranking. Last season, Petersen s team went 11-2 and beat Washington in the Las Vegas Bowl, good for a No. 18 final ranking. In 2013, Boise State, which faced Washington in the first game at the newly renovated Husky Stadium, finished the regular season with an 8-4 record (Petersen came to the UW prior to the Broncos bowl game). Throughout his teams unmatched on-field success, Petersen also saw his Broncos succeed in the classroom. In 2011, Boise State was the only school to finish in the top 10 in both major polls and also receive a Public Recognition Award from the NCAA for finishing in the top 10 percent of the Academic Progress Rate (APR), the second of three straight such awards for the program. Boise State s APR was second in the nation in 2011 and 2012 and Petersen was recognized in 2012 for having the best APR for the two previous years among all FBS coaches. Known for his work with quarterbacks, Petersen tutored Ryan Dinwiddie, Jared Zabransky and Kellen Moore at Boise State. Moore set an NCAA record with 50 career wins as a starting QB while winning three conference player of the year awards. Moore was the only player ever to record four 3,000-yard seasons in both passing and total offense. His 142 passing touchdowns were second-most in NCAA history 2018 University of Washington Football MEDIA RESOURCES MONDAY PRESS CONFERENCE ON GOHUSKIES.COM: Every Monday, head coach Chris Petersen will hold his weekly press conference, starting at 11:30 a.m. PT.

At the time, it put his record at , meaning that it took him 117 career games to reach his 100th victory. Only four coaches in major college history did it faster: Gil Dobie (North Dakota State, UW, Navy, Cornell): 108 games George Woodruff (Penn): 109 games Bud Wilkinson (Oklahoma): 111 games Fielding Yost (Neb., Kansas, Stanford, San Jose St., Michigan): 114 games Chris Petersen (Boise State, Washington): 117 games Knute Rockne (Notre Dame): 117 games Additionally, Petersen s 117 games were fewer than any ACTIVE FBS coach required to make it to 100 victories. Here were the top five, at the time: Chris Petersen: 117 games Urban Meyer: 118 games Bob Stoops: 122 games Gary Patterson: 128 games Steve Spurrier: 129 games PETERSEN SECOND ON LIST: The 2018 NCAA record book lists the top active FBS coaches in terms of winning percentage (minimum five years at FBS) and the Huskies own Chris Petersen is No. 2 on this list. Here are the top 10 FBS coaches by career winning pct. (FBS only), as of Sept. 30, 2018: No. Name, Current School... Yrs. W L T Pct. 1. Urban Meyer, Ohio State Chris Petersen, Washington Nick Saban, Alabama Dabo Swinney, Clemson Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M David Shaw, Stanford Mark Richt, Miami, Fla Bryan Harsin, Boise State Gary Patterson, TCU Brian Kelly, Notre Dame PETERSEN S FIRST FIVE: The NCAA Record Book also notes that Petersen won more games in his first season as a head coach (13-0 in 2006) than any coach in history and that his record over his first five seasons as a head coach (61-5) was fifth-best in history, ahead of the likes of Knute Rockne and Bud Wilkinson and behind coaching legends like Gil Dobie and Walter Camp. Here are the 10-best coaching performances over the first five years of a career: COACHING STAFF: Washington welcomes back eight of nine full-time assistant coaches from last year s staff, with two new additions (including the newly legislated 10th assistant). Five of the 10 assistants are in their fifth season at UW under Petersen (one of which was a holdover from the prior staff). Of the 10 full-time coaches on the 2017 staff, four came to the UW from Boise State along with Petersen after Co-defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski was on Petersen s staff in Boise in all eight seasons as head coach, including the last four as defensive coordinator. Kwiatkowksi, a BSU Hall-of-Fame defensive lineman, also worked at his alma mater from 1988 to Running backs coach and recruiting coordinator Keith Bhonapha was also on Petersen s Broncos staff during Petersen s entire eight seasons, though he started as director of operations. He coached running backs his last five years at BSU. Assistant head coach, special teams coordinator and linebackers coach Bob Gregory came to Washington having spent the previous four seasons at Boise State. He was the defensive coordinator at California from 2002 to 2009 and, along with also having coached at Boise State in 2001, has also worked in the conference at Oregon. Defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake, who spent the 2004 season in the same position at Washington under head coach Keith Gilbertson, was Petersen s DBs coach in Boise the last two years there, having spent five seasons in the NFL before that. Tight ends coach Jordan Paopao is entering his sixth season in that position, having worked as a Husky GA the previous two. UW alum Ikaika Malloe, who lettered as a Husky from 1993 to 1996 and once worked as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, is back for his third season as UW s defensive line coach. He joined the staff after last season, coming to Seattle from Utah State. Second-year UW wide receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator Matt Lubick joins the Husky staff last season, having spent the previous four years at Oregon, including the 2016 season as offensive coordinator. Second-year offensive line coach and run game coordinator Scott Huff spent the previous 11 seasons at Boise State, his alma mater, where he played under Coach Petersen (when Petersen was an assistant) and coached for him for all eight years Petersen was head coach. New UW offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan, who worked as a quality control assistant (2015) and wide receivers coach (2016) under Petersen, is back in Seattle, having spent the 2017 season as the Atlanta Falcons QBs coach. Washington also welcomes Will Harris to the staff. A former safety at USC, Harris is UW s assistant secondary coach. Two of four UW graduate assistant coaches are returners to their position. Former Montana State linebacker Jody Owens and Tyler Osborne, who worked as a student coach at Oregon, are both back for a second season. Newcomer GAs Robert Kugler (former OL at Pitt) and Jabriel Washington (former CB at Alabama) join the staff for THE YOUNG AND THE OLD: Washington has been a notably and demonstrably young team the last several years and, while the Huskies have gotten distinctly more experienced across the board, the roster still skews slightly towards youth. The 2018 roster includes 43 freshmen and 21 sophomores, compared to 21 seniors and 28 juniors, meaning just under 57 percent of the players have three or more years of eligibility left. At the same time, Washington has 54returning lettermen and, not counting specialists, 29 different Huskies have started at least one game during their career. Coach, Team(s) Seasons W L T Pct.

The Huskies have led the Pac-12 in total defense for three years in a row, climbing the national rankings each year, capped by a No. 8 national finish last season. The UW has also paced the Pac-12 in scoring defense the last three seasons, finishing fifth in the FBS last season. Last year, the Huskies were also fourth in the nation in rushing defense and fifth in the country in turnover margin UW Football Media Guide & Record Book: gohuskies.com/mediaguide 2018 University of Washington Football Page 3

PT (FOX) ONE-TWO PUNCH ON OFFENSE: In seniors Jake Browning and Myles Gaskin, the Huskies return the most prolific quarterback-running back tandem in the nation, in terms of career statistics, at the start of the 2018 season. Gaskin s 4,055 career rushing yards entering the year were most in the nation among returning FBS players, nearly 900 yards ahead of the next-closest (Appalachian State s Jalin Moore, 3,170 yards). Gaskin s 45 career rushing touchdowns were also most in the nation among FBS returners. Gaskin entered his senior season ranked 9th in Pac-12 history in rushing TDs and 11th in rushing yards. He s seeking to become the 10th FBS player ever (and first in Pac-12 history) to rush for 1,000 or more yards in four seasons. Meanwhile, Browning s 9,104 career passing yards entering the year were secondmost among all FBS returners, while his 78 career TD passes (already a UW record) were tops in the country. Browning s entered the season ranked No. 12 in Pac-12 history in career TD passes (and only 11 from making the top four), while his yards total ranked No. 27 (about 1,700 yards away from the top 10). 1,000-YARDERS: Prior to the 2007 season, Washington running backs had compiled 11 1,000-yard seasons in the school s long history. Since then, Washington has had a back reach 1,000 yards nine out of the last 11 years, and eight in a row. If Myles Gaskin can continue this streak this season, he ll become only the 10th FBS player in history to rush for 1,000 yards in four straight seasons since freshman eligility began in Here s a look at those nine recent 1,000-yard seasons: 2007 Louis Rankin... 1,294 yds Bishop Sankey...1,870 yds Chris Polk... 1,113 yds Myles Gaskin...1,320 yds Chris Polk... 1,415 yds Myles Gaskin...1,373 yds Chris Polk... 1,488 yds Myles Gaskin...1,380 yds Bishop Sankey... 1,439 yds. HUSKIES vs. BUFFALOES HISTORY: Washington and Colorado have squared off 16 times in their history and the Huskies hold the edge with 11 wins, five losses and one tie. Washington has won eight straight games vs. the Buffaloes. The series began way back in 1915 when a Gil Dobie-coached UW team wrapped up a 7-0 season with a 46-0 win over the Buffs at Washington's Denny Field. Nearly 40 years later, the Huskies opened the 1953 season with a narrow loss at Husky Stadium. Jim Owens' first game as Husky head coach, on Sept. 21, 1957, came against Colorado and that game ended in a 6-6 tie in Seattle. Two seasons later, the Huskies made their first trip to Boulder for yet another season-opener and beat the Buffaloes, The next meeting didn't come until 1976 in Seattle when Colorado beat Don James' second Husky squad, The two teams next met in the 1985 Freedom Bowl in Anaheim. The Huskies won, 20-17, behind sophomore QB Chris Chandler. In 1989, shortly after the untimely death of their former CU quarterback Sal Aunese, the Buffs handed the Huskies a loss at Husky Stadium. Colorado rushed for 420 yards despite not having a single back over 100 yards. Colorado made it two wins in as many seasons the following year at Folsom Field, handing a 12th-ranked UW team a loss. Eric Bieniemy ran for 143 yards and Darian Hagan scored a pair of TDs in the win. Colorado picked up a third straight win over the Huskies in the 1996 Holiday Bowl, winning In 1999, first-year UW head coach Rick Neuheisel, who'd left Colorado for Seattle during the offseason, got his first win at Washington in week three of the season. Marques Tuiasosopo hit Chris Juergens with a nine-yard TD pass with 3:17 remaining to break a tie and forge a win. The following year in Boulder, a Rose Bowl-bound Husky team won, In 2011, in the two teams' first meeting as Pac-12 rivals, the Huskies won in Seattle. Keith Price led the way for the UW, completing 21-of-28 passes for 257 yards and four touchdowns.

In 2013 in Seattle, the Huskies won their fifth in a row in the series as the Dawgs rolled up 628 yards of total offense in a 59-7 victory. Price completed 22-of-29 for 312 and two scores while rushing for two more. In 2014, erstwhile linebacker Shaq Thompson starred on offense for the Huskies, rushing for 174 yards on just 15 carries in Husky TEAM NOTES 2018 University of Washington Football win. Sefo Liufau passed for 314 yards and two TDs for Colorado. In 2016, the UW and Colorado met in the Pac-12 Championship game in Santa Clara, the first title game for both teams. Washington got 100-yard rushing performances from Myles Gaskin (159 yards) and Lavon Coleman (101) and two key interceptions from game MVP Taylor Rapp, one of which he returned 35 yards for a score on the first play of the second half, as Washington won, Jake Browning threw TD passes to Darrell Daniels and John Ross while the UW defense held the Buffaloes to 163 yards and nine first downs. Last season in Boulder, Myles Gaskin rushed for 202 yards and two TDs and the Huskies picked off three passes (Myles Bryant returned one 35 yards for a score) in a win. THE PAC-12: Prior to the 2011 season, the Pac-10 Conference added Utah and Colorado to expand to the Pac-12. Washington, which along with California is one of two schools who have been in the conference since its founding in 1915, plays in the Pac-12 North, along with the other three Northwest schools (Oregon, OSU, WSU) and Stanford and Cal. Under current plans, each school will play all five division rivals, plus four of six teams in the other division each season. The first two seasons, the Huskies did not face UCLA or Arizona State. In 2013 and 14, the Huskies didn t face Utah or USC. In 2015 in 2016, neither UCLA nor Colorado were on the UW schedule, while the Huskies don t face USC and Arizona in 2017 or THE 100-YARD FACTOR: Since the 1947 season, Washington is (.761) when a Husky player rushes for 100 yards in a game. The Huskies were 8-0 in such games in 2016, were 5-1 in 2017 and are 2-0 this year. HISTORY LESSON: Successfully rushing the football and winning go hand-inhand for the Huskies. Since 1990, UW has rushed for 200 yards in a game 114 times. The Huskies record stands at (.856) in those contests. Since 1995, UW is (.843) when rushing for 200 yards. HUSKY STADIUM RENOVATION: Husky Stadium underwent a major renovation over from Nov., 2011, through Aug., 2013, as the entire lower bowl and south upper deck were demolished and replaced. The new facility features a new, state-of-theart football operations center (weight room, training room, locker room, meeting rooms, coaches offices) in the west end, much more premium seating options and a new playing surface. Husky Stadium had featured a track up until 2011, so seats that were once far from the field, particularly in the west end, are much closer to the action. UW is 31-8 at home since the re-opening of Husky Stadium. ALASKA AIRLINES FIELD AT HUSKY STADIUM: The Oregon game on Nov. 5, 2011, marked the final game in Husky Stadium prior to major renovations that were completed in summer, The Huskies re-opened their home field with a 38-6 win over then-no. 19 Boise State on Aug. 31, The 2018 season marks the 99th season of play in Husky Stadium. Original construction on the facility was completed in 1920 when Washington played one game in the new campus facility.
