Houston still enrolled, not with team

A few of you have asked about the status of Michael Houston, the transfer running back from Texas who was suspended indefinitely a few weeks ago for his alleged role in an auto theft.

Tyrone Willingham said today that there is nothing new on his status with the team. However, he said that Houston is "still very in school and doing everything except really practicing actively with the football team.''

So that may auger well for his eventual return. That would be a real positive for the Huskies. For the story I wrote today on UW's freshmen, I talked awhile with Scott White to get his impressions of some of the redshirting players. He mentioned Houston right off the bat, saying there were some times he ran over some of UW's starting defensive linemen.

As for the rest of the news today, there wasn't much. Willingham said Carl Bonnell practiced well Tuesday so he will be the starter Saturday barring anything drastic, with Felix Sweetman as the backup.

Johnny DuRocher did not practice today and likely won't play Saturday, leaving Sonny Shackelford as the No. 3 QB.

And if you want to know what Willingham thinks about the Chris Hemphill-Michael Braunstein Facebook.com page, a few of us tried, but he didn't want to answer. Both players were at practice today, however, and presumably their status hasn't changed.
