    Sark peddled excuses. Petersen won't. He'll just have someone else ready to play.

    The days of bullshit football are over at Washington.

    Our secondary (scholarship athletes only) right now is:

    Travell Dixon (RS-SR)
    Marcus Peters (RS-JR)
    Brandon Beaver (RS-SO)
    Kevin King (TR-SO)
    Trevor Walker (TR-SO)
    Jermaine Kelly (RS-FR)

    Six scholarship players for the remainder of the Spring with 2 being upperclassmen (and Dixon being a JUCO transfer, so not really the same kinda upperclassman that Peters is). Clearly our biggest weakness moving into 2014, so it's nice to see that Petersen addressed depth by bringing in 7 DBs for this fall. Also worth noting that Brian Clay is a JR who transferred from Hawaii who's had a good off-season. There'll be depth when the season rolls around, which is what we need more than anything.

    Point being, 8 out of 13 players will be freshman in the secondary this season. However, that youth shouldn't be an excuse for this team. We'll have talent out there and a competent DBs coach out there getting them prepared for game situations. The beginning of the schedule is stupid easy, so by the time Stanford and Oregon roll around, Kelly and the 7 True Froshes will have 4-6 games under their belts and have real game experience.

    Youth should never be an excuse with this team.

    Right. Like I said. Young. Just like every year for the last 20 years. A young secondary.
