That Washington’s 41-17 win against Cal remained in doubt until running back Bishop Sankey shot for a 59-yard touchdown with 1:08 remaining in the first half was surprising, given how the 1-7 Golden Bears (0-5 Pac-12) looked utterly hopeless before Saturday night at Husky Stadium.

An alumnus of Washington State University's Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, Lewis is a sports journalist working at Sportspress Northwest. He spent his first three years in Pullman at the school newspaper writing his weekly column "Backrow Banter" while covering the WSU baseball team. His opinion piece in the fall of 2011 on Cougars football, "The Campus That Cried Wulff" received attention from media outlets throughout the Northwest. The column called for the immediate dismissal of former WSU head coach Paul Wulff. With a family background in the newspaper industry, Lewis's passion for objective sports journalism wins out over passion for his favorite teams. Lewis graduated cum laude from WSU in May. His senior year on the Palouse was spent covering Mike Leach's tumultuous first year coaching the Cougars. At Sportspress Northwest, Lewis will help cover the Storm, Mariners and Seahawks before returning to Pullman in August to cover WSU football's fall camp.
In the next four weeks the Seahawks face three teams — St. Louis, Tampa Bay and Minnesota — dealing with a shortage of competent quarterbacks.
A terrible performance from the Huskies offensive line last Saturday against ASU did as much damage to QB Keith Price’s confidence as it did his thumb.
Washington coach Steve Sarkisian is confident his senior quarterback and his injured thumb will rebound from his worst game of the season.
Seahawks WR Percy Harvin had a speedy recovery from August hip surgery, but his status for Seattle’s game Monday night remains uncertain.
After returning from a health scare, free agent FB Michael Robinson had other offers, but there was one place he wanted to be. The call came, and he’s a Seahawk again.
Snapping a three-game skid Saturday is more difficult for the Huskies if QB Keith Price misses the first start of his career with a swollen thumb. Fortunately for UW, it plays Cal.
Washington State has lost six in a row to the Oregon Ducks, all by blowout margins, and is a six-touchdown underdog Saturday night at Autzen Stadium.
The local and national media corps that bore witness in Arizona gave credit to Russell WIlson’s “amnesia,” lauded Marshawn Lynch’s toughness and ripped the 3-4 Arizona Cardinals.
The Seahawks dispelled lingering doubts about their play away from home by powering through their own mistakes and over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football.
