Mike Kramer Post Game Quotes
We are not Eastern and they are not Oregon State. That is pretty obvious. A couple of teams in our conference have been butchered by the Pac 12 and we went on the table today and these guys did not disappoint.

One thing I liked that Washington did was they had a lot of mistakes early but they found their stride and started paying attention to the idea of what was going on and played like a top ranked team.

I have been coaching football along time. With the way coach Sarkisian and his staff treated us, knowing that we were wounded and not playing real well, they showed one of the most outstanding examples of sportsmanship and care of other teams that I have ever seen.

I applaud the Husky staff and the way they played. Now we move on to Cal Davis.

We left our tight end home, one of our best senior receivers and we played a little frightened. Because we were unable to generate any type of movement and drives, it exposes our defense which is under massive construction like Husky Stadium was two-years ago.

If we couldn't generate first downs it was going to be a JV game in the second half and that is what it turned out to be.

I applaud coach Sarkisian and the entire Husky organization for making sure we didn't come out of this as badly humbled as we did last year at Nebraska.
