Notes from Tyrone Willingham's Thursday press conference
Posted by Percy Allen
--- Tyrone Willingham described Jake Locker's hand injury as "complex" and said the timetable for his return has not changed. When the Huskies quarterback broke his right thumb Sept. 27, doctors believed he would need 6-8 weeks to recover. If Locker returns in six weeks, he could face Arizona State on Nov. 8. An eight-week recovery means he'd be available for the Nov. 15 Apple Cup. Washington ends the season Dec. 6 against California. Willingham said Locker will re-visit the hand specialist in two weeks.
--- Still no word on who will start at strong safety. The candidates include Victor Aiyewa and Tripper Johnson. The noticeable absentee is freshman Johri Fogerson who missed the past couple of days because of a virus. It's uncertain if he'll be available Saturday.
---- DT Senio Kelemete has also missed a few days of practice because of illness.
--- Willingham said he expects Cody Bruns "to rotate in with the five receivers." When asked how many plays the freshman would play, the coach said the game will dictate that. Willingham stressed this is a big game for the receiving corps. He said: "We got to count on our receivers to be a major part of our game plan this week. Anytime we anticipate that we're going to have some of the coverage that they have given us in the past year and what they do in the normal package, our receivers have to play big."
--- Willingham declined to differentiate between running backs Willie Griffin, Brandon Johnson and Terrance Dailey when asked who would receive more carries.
--- Senior Casey Bulyca underwent knee surgery Tuesday. Willingham said the procedure was more evasive than expected. Bulyca is likely out for the season and will be replaced by sophomore Ryan Tolar.
