Everything in the Husky nation is good, as of right now we are still undefeated and in the running for the National Title. However as September 5th gets ever closer, the pressure of living up to the expectations set for this years football team continue to increase.
Will the pressure eventually crush the team or will it turn our team into a diamond? That is yet to be seen.
However, here is a list of the five people under the most pressure coming into this season.
1. Steve Sarkisian, Head Coach
The new head coach of the Dawgs will be under more pressure than anyone else on the field this year. Whether the pressure is more intense from the media, fans, or himself is yet to be seen.
Steve has known nothing but winning for the past four years in USC. He has come to a school that is thirsty for some success in its football program.
Ever since the unjustified firing of Rick Neuheisel, our team has been in a nose dive; everyone is looking to Caoch Sark to pull it out and return us to the heights that UDub football traditionally has had. Can the fans and reports have the patience and understanding to give it a few years?
Can he? His ability to go out and get top talent, not just from home but other states as well has gone a long way for this fan.
Bottom line, it will take a few years to get the team where Coach Sark and the fans want it to be. Constant improvement needs to be seen until then.
2. Jake Locker, QB
Jake is the leader of our offense on and off the field. After a record breaking freshman year, his sophomore outing was short lived due to injury.
Expectations for Jake are very high. Can he return to his freshman form while improving his numbers?
