WASHINGTON:
THE HEAD COACH:
In a requently-told tale, Husky ootball coach Steve Sarki-sian recalls his days as a young assistant traveling to ace Washington at HuskyStadium. During the drive across Lake Washington, with the iconic home o theDawgs towering ahead, Sarkisian marveled aloud at the city, the stadium and theatmosphere surrounding the UW program. A decade or so later, Sarkisian is incharge o the Washington ootball program he was admiring that day. And in justtwo years, he has re-established the kind o tough, exciting environment that wasthen, and is again now, so closely associated with the Husky ootball. The 2011season, Sarkisian’s third as head coach, provided more highlights or his up-and-coming program. The Husky oense posted one o its most prolic seasons ever,scoring 434 points over the course o the season, the most by a UW squad sincethe 1991 national championship team and the second-most in school history. TheHuskies scored nearly 12 more points per game than they did the previous year.They also had marked improvement in passing yards (65 more yards per game)and total oense (47 more yards per game), while the team’s third-down percent-age improved vastly over the previous season, rom 32 to 46 percent. Sarkisiancoached his team to a third straight win over Washington State in the annualApple Cup to remain undeeated against the UW’s in-state rival and to wrap up a7-5 regular-season record and 5-4 mark in the Pac-12 North. The Huskies secureda berth in the Valero Alamo Bowl, the No. 2 game in the Pac-12 bowl lineup. In2010, Sarkisian’s second season in Seattle, the Huskies made another clear steporward. The Dawgs went 7-6 overall and nished third in the Pac-10 Coner-ence with a 5-4 record. Then, in the Holiday Bowl, Washington provided one othe bowl season’s top games, beating an 18th-ranked Nebraska squad, 19-7. Thewin over the Cornhuskers was the last o a series o exciting, gutsy victories in2010. The season included three Husky wins decided on the very last play o thegame (Oregon State, USC and Cal), plus another in which the winning score cameinside the nal minute (WSU). Sarkisian was introduced as the new head coacho the Washington ootball team on Dec. 8, 2008. From the start, Sarkisian madeit clear that he didn’t think it would take long to turn the program around and getit back to the high level o success that UW ootball has enjoyed throughout itshistory. In his rst season, 2009, he seemed to prove that he was right. Washing-ton, which posted a winless season or the rst time in school history the yearbeore Sarkisian signed on, surged to a 5-7 record in 2009, an improvement o vevictories over the previous year. No BCS-conerence school in the nation couldboast such improvement in terms o wins in 2009. And, Sarkisian’s Husky squadpulled o that eat against a schedule that included 10 opponents who ended theseason bowl-eligible. Sarkisian came to the UW with a wealth o experience as aquarterbacks coach and oensive coordinator. His string o success is nearly un-precedented as, during his time at USC, he coached two Heisman Trophy winnersand oversaw one o the nation’s most consistent and dominant oenses. Sarkisianspent 2007 and 2008 as the Trojans’ assistant head coach and oensive coordina-tor. He had also previously served as assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach(2005-06), quarterbacks coach (2002-03) and as an oensive assistant (2001) atUSC, or a total o seven seasons there. During his seven seasons as a mem-ber o the Trojans’ sta, the team posted a combined 74-15 record. As oensivecoordinator, his record was 22-3. Aside rom his various roles at USC, Sarkisianalso spent one season as quarterbacks coach or the Oakland Raiders in 2004 andas QBs coach at El Camino College in Torrance, Cali., in 2000, his rst coachingjob. Sarkisian starred at the quarterback position at the prep, collegiate and prolevels. Ater his standout career at Brigham Young University, he was played orthe Saskatchewan Roughriders o the Canadian Football League or three sea-sons (1997-99). He had a record-setting two-year (1995-96) career at BYU, playingunder legendary coach Lavell Edwards. Sarkisian completed 549-o-824 passes(66.6 percent) or 7,755 yards and 55 touchdowns in his career. His 162.0 careerpassing eciency rating ranked third on the all-time NCAA list. As a senior in1996, he led the nation in passing eciency (173.6, No. 7 all-time) as the WesternAthletic Conerence champion Cougars went 14-1 and won the 1997 Cotton Bowl.He was the WAC Oensive Player o the Year in 1996, and earned second-teamAll-America honors. Sarkisian transerred to BYU rom El Camino Junior College,where he played two seasons (1993-94). He was a rst-team Junior College All-America selection as a sophomore and earned all-conerence honors in 1993 as areshman. He also played baseball at El Camino in 1993. He originally enrolled atUSC as a baseball player, spending the all o 1992 on the Trojans’ roster beoretranserring. Sarkisian was a standout ootball and baseball player at West Tor-rance (Cali.) High. He earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology rom BYU in 1997ater receiving his associate’s degree in general studies rom El Camino in 1994.Sarkisian was born March 8, 1974. He and his wie, Stephanie, have two daugh-ters, Ashley and Taylor, and a son, Brady.

Nearly all o the nine ull-time assistant coaches have some sort o tie to the Northwest and manyplayed or then-Pac-10 ootball programs. The oensive side o the ballis led by newcomer Eric Kiesau, the oensive coordinator and quarter-backs coach who came to the UW rom Caliornia. A ormer QB at PortlandState, Kiesau spent the last decade at either Cal or Colorado. He joinsthree oensive coaches who have been at the UW since Steve Sarkisianwas hired. Associate head coach - oense and running backs coach JoelThomas, in his ourth year at UW, grew up in Port Angeles, Wash., and is amember o the Idaho Athletic Hall o Fame. He is still the Vandals’ all-timeleader in carries, rushing yards and rushing TDs. Fellow Idaho grad DanCozzetto is in his ourth season as the UW’s run game coordinator and o-ensive line coach. Cozzetto grew up in Spokane, Wash., and was also theWashington line coach in 2003. He came to the UW rom Arizona State.UW pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach Jimmie Daughertyplayed QB at Missouri and spent most o his coaching career prior to theUW at the University o San Diego. Assistant head coach, recruiting co-ordinator and special teams coordinator Johnny Nansen is a ourth-yearcoach at the UW. He grew up in Long Beach, Cali., but played ootballat Washington State and spent the previous fve years at Idaho beoremoving over to the UW. The our deensive coaches are all new to the UWthis year. Coordinator Justin Wilcox grew up in Junction City, Ore., andspent our years as a deensive back at Oregon. He came to the UW romTennessee and, prior to that, coached at Boise State, among others. Hisormer college roommate, Peter Sirmon, oversees the UW linebackers. Aour-year starter at Oregon and a native o Walla Walla, Wash., Sirmonplayed in the NFL or seven years beore moving on to coaching. Aterstints at Central Washington and Oregon, he worked with Wilcox at Ten-nessee beore coming to Seattle. The new deensive backs coach is KeithHeyward, a our-year letterman at Oregon State.

VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDELINE:
While the Huskies’ ull-timecoaching sta doesn’t include any UW graduates, nearly all o them havesome tie to the state or to the Northwest and a surprising number haveactually played or their alma mater against the Dawgs. Head man SteveSarkisian’s only loss in a 14-1 season as a senior at BYU in 1996 cameto the UW at Husky Stadium. New deensive coaches Justin Wilcox andPeter Sirmon both aced the Huskies during their playing careers at Oregonrom 1996 to 1999. Former Washington State linebacker Johnny Nansen,now the Huskies’ recruiting coordinator and special teams coach, was onthe opposite sideline or several Apple Cups in the early-to-mid 1990s andnew deensive backs coach Keith Heyward played in a ew barnburnersvs. the UW or Oregon State rom 1997 to 2000. More recently, deensiveline coach Tosh Lupoi squared o with the Huskies during his time as ad-lineman at Caliornia at the start o the last decade. And while neitheroensive line coach Dan Cozzetto nor running backs coach Joel Thomasever aced Washington during their careers at Idaho, both grew up in theEvergreen State. Finally, new oensive coordinator Eric Kiesau has alsonever played against Washington, but did play his college ootball justacross the border at Portland State.

The Huskies are 17-19-4 in the 40 games played in Husky Stadium and 11-29-0against the Trojans in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Last season, Washingtonposted its second straight victory via late eld goal as Erik Folk connected rom32 yards to beat USC, 32-31, on the nal play o the game. In 2009 in Seattle,Washington handed No. 3 USC a 16-13 win as Folk connected on a 22-yard eldgoal with three seconds let to cap the game-winning drive. Three years ago in L.A.,USC blanked the Dawgs, 56-0, as then-coordinator Steve Sarkisian's oense rackedup 488 yards while then-USC deensive coordinator Nick Holt held the Huskies othe scoreboard. Four seasons ago, the No. 1 Trojans escaped Seattle with a 27-24win, the second o two straight close matchups. USC overcame three turnovers and16 penalties.

WASHINGTON-USC TIES
:
The Washington coaching sta main tie to USC isobvious as Husky head coach Steve Sarkisian was hired away rom the Trojans,where he spent seven o the previous eight seasons (all but 2004). Sarkisian andUSC head coach Lane Kin worked together on Pete Carroll’s sta during manyo those years. Husky head strength coach Ivan Lewis and director o ootballoperations Jared Blank all worked or the Trojans beore being hired by Sarkisian.Many o Kin’s current sta at USC spent time on Carroll’s Trojans sta along withSarkisian and the other UW sta with USC ties. USC d-line coach Shawn Howeand UW deensive coordinator Justin Wilcox worked on the same sta at Tennes-see in 2010. As ar as players go, the only Washingtonians on the USC roster arereshmen Zach Banner (Lakes) and Alex Wood (Mercer Island). However, as is thecase each year, a good deal o UW and USC players have played with or againstone another in high school due to the number o Huskies rom the L.A. area.
