Washington Delays Quarterback Decision Until Game Day vs Nebraska

Washington coach Jedd Fisch says the Huskies will wait until game day to name their starting quarterback against Nebraska, keeping the decision private to preserve a competitive advantage. Demond Williams Jr., who had started 33 straight games, is recovering from a fractured rib suffered against Iowa, while backup Elijah Brown has led Washington to a win over Purdue and performed strongly in relief. The quarterbacks have split first-team practice reps during the bye week, and Fisch says Williams still needs to demonstrate he can make his throws with his usual velocity and trajectory. Both players have supported each other as Washington prepares for the Big Ten matchup.
