Huskies shock Cardinal
The number 8 ranked Stanford Cardinal visited the Washington Huskies for an ESPN Thursday night game in Seattle and got a rude wakeup call from the home team getting upset 17-13 in front of almost 56,000 at CenturyLink Field. The much improved Huskies defense set the tone for the game playing very physical and knocking the Cardinal around. The Offense kept it close and had two long scoring plays that were the difference. The crowd dressed all in black for the game stormed the field in celebration after the upset.

NFL Draft
I had a great opportunity to head to New York City last week and take part in some pre-draft activities. It was a lot of fun. As you know, the first pick of the draft this year was Andrew Luck out of Stanford to the Indianapolis Colts. Here’s a shot I made of him in 2010 when they played the Huskies.
Andrew Luck
Three-peat
This season’s Lindy’s Annuals are hitting the shelves now. My photos appear on three covers this year, the National College Pacific Northwest edition as well as the Pro Seattle and San Francisco/Oakland/San Diego edition. It has been a great experience to shoot for Lindy’s for the past several years.

Un-Luck-y Dawgs
Andrew Luck, that is. Luck and the Stanford Cardinal came in to Husky Stadium Saturday and dominated the Huskies from from the very start, winning 41-0. It was another wet one for the first half and then the skies cleared for the rest of the game, but the Huskies were already sunk. At least they get to go on the road to Eugene next week to take on the #1 team in the country next week! Here are a few shots from the game.
Andrew Luck finds his receiver
Stepfan Taylor lunges over the goal line for a score.
Stepfan Taylor 3 Yd Run for another score. It also looks like Nate Fellner is missing the "W" on his helmet.

Even if this one is a tad out of focus, I like how the rain scattering shows the force of the hit.
UW might want to rethink wearing the white pants for rain games...
