A durable Marques Tuiasosopo has kept Cody Pickett on the sidelines for most of two seasons. And in such a position, Pickett is the most important Husky you've barely seen. It's easy staying motivated on a team like this.
Every week is exciting.
Too exciting, actually, for Pickett to have a chance at even back-up snaps. Four of the Huskies' seven wins have come through fourth-quarter comebacks, including the past two. Their four straight victories have come by a combined 24 points. Football coaches constantly are managing the tough balance between winning in the present and planning for the future. Playing Pickett isn't a luxury Washington has been able to afford.
