He will have the bene!t of the top two targets returning with senior WR Jaydon Mickens (60 rec/617 yds/4 TDs) and senior TE Joshua Perkins (25 rec/315 yds/3 TDs). The Washington running game will have three players competing for carries - junior Dwayne Washington (697 yds/5.3 avg/9 TDs), sophomore Lavon Coleman (565 yds/4.1 avg) and senior Deontae Cooper (285 yds/4.5 avg). Whoever carries the ball, they'll do so behind a Husky offensive line that needs to re- build as just two starters return, who combined for 16 starts - senior G Dexter Charles and sophomore RT Coleman Shelton. Junior PK Cameron Van Winkle hit 20 of 24 !eld goal attempts, including 15-of- 16 from 39 yards and in. DEFENSE: With four defensive players taken among the !rst 44 picks of the NFL Draft, Washington will need to lean on senior LB Travis Feeney (60 tackles/4.5 avg/2 INT) to guide the Husky defense. He's the lone returning starter among the front seven that was second in the league in stopping the run (124.0 ypg) and second in sacks (52 sacks/3.71 avg). Fortunately, the secondary returns three starters who each collected 70 or more tackles last season. The trio of junior S Kev- in King, sophomore S Budda Baker and sophomore CB Sidney Jones combined for 206 tackles, 13 pass breakups and four interceptions. Senior P Korey Durkee averaged 42.1 yards per punt and pinned the opposition inside the 20 on 19 occasions. 2014 RESULTS (8-6, 4-5 in Pac-12 North, 3rd) W ...........17-16 ........... at Hawai'i W ...........59-52 ...........
