The Washington Huskies made their first trip to Penn State under Coach Doodee this week, and were promptly shown why Beaver Stadium is one of the hardest places to get a victory.
"It was so loud on that field that you couldn't hear a bomb drop," said Coach Doodee. "It really affected our ability to pass the ball early. Any audibles or changes were totally nullified."
Penn State was able to take advantage of the lack of offense in the first half, by scoring on long successful drives and taking a 17-0 halftime lead. With the crowd taking a rest, Washington was able to score 14 in the 3rd quarter on two short runs, while PSU added another score. Washington would get the score to 24-21 on a Giles Jackson td reception, and would get the ball with 1:23 left on the clock to drive for the win, but it ended in an all-too-familiar pick six.
"Kudos to Coach Footballkelly, he played a winning strategy. Solid playcalling and run game with a stingy defense will win a lot of games and frustrate a lot of players. Today it just happened to be us."

Lively crowd and solid ground game solidified the win.
The Huskies of Washington traveled across teh country to take on their conference foe the Nittany Lions of Penn State.
The Lions defense feed off the crowd and was able to shut out the Huskies in the first half. The offense would put up 17 points in the half with some long game controlling drives and a well executed 2 minute drive to get the final three before the time expired.
The second half adjustments by Washington proved effective as they were able to claw back into the game with some strong drives of their own, capping them off with some solid runs. The Huskies D stepped up forcing a pick and a punt giving the offense a chance to drive for the win.
A timely pick that was returned to the house would put Penn State up two scores and seal the victory.
Good game doodee.
