Spreading It Around: Through five games, Washington has had a remarkable 17 players already record a pass reception during the 2003 season. A scan of the records indicates that the UW has never had as many as 17 receivers make a catch in a single season (records go back to 1972; before that only leaders are listed in final stats). Washington has used 16 receivers in two some- what recent seasons: 1992 and 2001, when the 16 receivers included Omare Lowe (on a shovel pass on a fake punt) and quarterback (thrown to himself on a bat- ted pass). Of the 17 Huskies to catch a pass this year, 11 were making their first career reception: Kenny James, Quintin Daniels, Shelton Sampson, Ben Bandel, Adam Seery, Ty Eriks, Corey Williams, Isaiah Stanback, Sonny Shackelford, Clayton Ramsey and Jon Lyon. The 100-Yard Factor: Since the 1947 season, Washington is 157-35-3 (.813) when a Husky player rushes for 100 yards in a game. Twice this season, Rich Alexis has rushed for more than 100 yards, in wins over Idaho and Stanford. Washington, incidentally, is 8-0 all-time when Alexis rushes for 100 yards.

HUSKIES Gameday 5 HUSKY PROFILE / TODD BACHERT NONO

ow do you make a 6-foot-4, 300-pound behe- moth disappear before the eyes of 72,000 onlookers? Put him on the offensive line. In football, it’s the backs and receivers who garner the individual accolades — offensive linemen only receive notice when they make a mistake, such as a holding penalty or a false start. However, it is a commonly-held perception among football cognoscenti that games are won and lost not by the skill players, but in the trenches. For the fan in the stands, however, it is much easier to measure the success of a run or a pass than of a well- placed block. That’s just fine with Husky senior Todd Bachert, a third year starter who has initiated nearly every play at center over the past two and a half seasons. “We can have the best game ever as a unit, and nobody will say anything,” Bachert says of the line’s anonymity. “But we still walk around with our heads held high. Todd Bachert As long as we know we had a good game and we can talk about it with each other, that feels good. We enjoy staying out of the limelight.” That light may soon become brighter, however, if the line can keep blowing open holes as it did in the team’s games against Indiana and Idaho, when the Huskies rushed for 195 and 231 yards. Both totals are more than the Huskies achieved in any game during the 2001 season, A native of Evansville, Ind., Bachert began his prep Bachert is a key force in a sign that the offensive line is beginning to dominate career in Texas before moving to Michigan, and later to a Husky offensive line again as it did during the team’s run to the 2001 Rose Mission Viejo, Calif.

It would be the best thing to go out ted behind one such Husky great, and availed himself of on the same note,” Bachert says. “The senior class talks the opportunity to learn as much as possible. about it a lot.

Bachert worked meticulously on his center skills Continued on page 8 6 HUSKIES Gameday Continued from page 6 throughout his redshirt season in 2000, but was surprised in the fall of 2001, when the coaches asked him to move to offensive tackle. Bachert had become used to moving from state to state throughout his life, but this move of only three or four feet still caught him off guard. “It was pretty shocking,” he says. “I had played tackle in high school but to do so at the collegiate level required a totally different set of skills. I think I adjusted decently, but I definitely prefer center.” Bachert excelled in his new position, helping the Husky offense rank fourth in the conference in sacks against, but was moved back to center in 2002 due to the development of the tackles behind him on the depth chart. “I just like being on the inside,” he explains. “I like being in charge, making all the calls for the line. Out there on the edge you face all the fast, skinny guys. I like the big meatheads.” While Bachert was happier back at his customary center spot, the Huskies struggled to win games. Soon, a season that had begun with talk of a potential Pac-10 title for Washington devolved into one in which the Huskies needed to win two of their last three games simply to preserve their streak of 25-consecutive years at or above .500. “The streak is something you think about every game, especially when you’re not doing so well like we were last year,” the history major says. “Everyone was talking about how last year was going to be the downfall. For 25 years, teams got the job done, and I don’t think I could live with being a part of a team that brought that to an end.” Bachert and his teammates rallied to win each of their final three games to earn a trip to the Sun Bowl with a 7-5 record, preserving the streak for another season. Also preserved has been Bachert’s streak of 25-consecutive starts enter- ing this season, a string dating back to the beginning of the 2001 season. As with the team’s streak, Bachert’s is a result of hard work, dedication and a refusal to be limited by injuries. The senior has had his share of physical setbacks, including a pair of Bachert was one of 19 players named to the preseason watch list shoulder surgeries his first two seasons. for the 2003 Rimington Award, given to the nation’s top center. “My sophomore year, when I was a tackle, was the worst. Dislocation after dislocation — it was rough. Last year wasn’t as bad, pain-wise, and Although injuries have hampered Washington’s depth on the offensive this year I feel good — knock on wood,” he says with cautious optimism. line this season, the Huskies remain a veteran unit, with four returning starters on the line and established stars at the skill positions. While much of the public was distracted by Washington’s coach- ing change during the offseason, the veterans chose to focus instead on the only thing they could control — being ready to play I like being in charge, come fall. “ “We met a bunch this summer, making all the calls for just the seniors, because we the line. Out there on the weren’t sure what was going to happen,” Bachert recalls. “We edge you face all the fast, finally said that we needed to forget skinny guys. I like the big everything that was going on and just focus on our goals.” meatheads. Bachert himself made the deci- ” sion to be a leader in 2003. “I don’t talk too much, but hopefully doing things right will set enough of a good example,” he says. An offensive lineman creates opportunities for others. They don’t accumulate stats. They are not coveted in fantasy leagues. However, there are still plenty of ways by which their perfor- mances can be measured “The coaches grade us for every game, based on assignment errors, blocking, etc.,” Bachert explains. “My goal is to grade out at 100 percent, every game. Not for any kind of glory — no one other than my teammates are ever going to know — but just for myself.” Fans may not care about such grades, but they certainly care about wins. If that number climbs, rest assured that Todd Bachert has tried to model his game after his mentor, former Husky Kyle Benn. Bachert was on the ball. 8 HUSKIES Gameday 11 UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON STUDENT-ATHLETES WILL BE CHOSEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT, ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP AND EXEMPLARY COMMUNITY SERVICE.

McDonald Alexis McDonald attracted much attention from college coaches, and was named one of the state’s top-50 prep athletes as a senior. “I honestly don’t know how it happened,” McDonald says of her athlet- ic prowess. “It was a surprise to everyone, as well as myself.” Washington’s coaches overcame their surprise fast enough to offer the talented McDonald a scholarship, which she readily accepted. Having dominated the prep ranks on talent alone, McDonald redshirted the 2000 Husky season to further develop her skills. The player who had experienced overnight success in high school struggled in her first year at Washington, undergoing knee surgery while her team limped to an 8-19 overall record. “I was only 17 years old when I came up here,” she points out. “Coming up here at such a young age forced me to grow up and immedi- ately broaden my horizons both on and off the court.” McDonald appeared in five matches the following year, with a hitting percentage of .429, before an unusual foot injury brought her first colle- giate season to an abrupt halt. “I chipped off a bone in my foot, and we didn’t discover it when it first happened,” she says. “The bone was actually stuck in a ligament.” McDonald bore down in the training room during the offseason, wanti- ng to be a part of the resurgence of UW volleyball, which she felt was on the horizon. McDonald earned the starting spot at middle blocker in the preseason and didn’t disappoint, leading the Huskies to 20 wins and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Her average of 1.22 blocks per game ranked fourth in the Pac-10 Conference, as McDonald proved to be a defensive force in the middle. “She has made so much progress since the day she got here,” head coach Jim McLaughlin says. “As she continues to apply the mechanics of McDonald sparked her position, she is only going to get better.” the Huskies’ NCAA Despite their breakout season in 2002, the Huskies were picked to fin- first-round win over ish sixth in arguably the toughest conference in the country.

Flick carried the momentum from that dramatic run into a breakout 1980 season in which the senior passed for 2,178 yards, then the second-most in UW history. Washington rode Flick’s prolific arm to a 9-3 record, including a 20-10 win at second-ranked USC, and a trip to Pasadena for the 1981 Rose Bowl. In barely a season and a half of action, Flick accumulated 3,171 passing yards, then the fourth-most ever by a UW passer, and led the Huskies to 13 wins. The Bellevue, Wash., native earned honorable mention to the Associated Press’ All-America team in 1980, and was honored as MVP by his teammates at the team’s postseason banquet. A fourth-round selection of the Washington Redskins in the 1981 NFL Draft, Flick spent four seasons in the NFL, appearing in 21 games.

He comes to every single game, and plans on going to every away game, too.” Family ties aside, Newton’s fondest memory on the football field came in Pullman against the Cougars last season. “Coming away from a victory there is awe- some, especially with the kind of year that they had last year,” he says. “They were a good team and we came out and won. That’s something I’ll always remember; I had a blast that game.” It is this excited attitude that has helped Newton keep a positive outlook in the face of various obstacles. One the field, Newton’s biggest obstacle came in 2002, when he was asked to change from his familiar weak guard position, where he had started 10 games in 2001, to the strong tackle spot. Changing positions on the offensive line requires learning a new set of skills, reads and adjustments. Newton not only tolerated the change, he thrived on it, earning All-Pac-10 honorable mention as well as the team’s Offensive Lineman of the Year award. Family is at the heart of what drives Newton towards his goals, but that does not only refer to those who share his genes. “I’m inspired by doing well and having everybody from Buckley be proud of me,” he says. “I’m the only kid from Buckley to go to a big school like this and be successful, so I just try to make them proud. I like to be able to share what I’m doing with my family as well as my hometown. I don’t want to let them down. I try to do the best I can to give them bragging rights.” As for post-graduation goals, the history major has no pressing plans. “If things don’t work out in regards to the NFL, I’ll probably be in Buckley or in Forks with my dad at my grandpa’s shake mill,” he says. “I’ve always respected hard-working, blue-collar guys like that, and those are the guys that I still look up to.” Only a handful of games remain, but the memories will last a lifetime. Newton and his linemates had the Husky running game riding high early in the season, “We always say we’re family here, not just a averaging 149.5 yards through the first four games. team,” Newton says. “I’m big on family.” 42 HUSKIES Gameday THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON A Proud Tradition of Academic Excellence

ounded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its Fresearch, instructional and public service missions. Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel Laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and con- tracts awarded to its faculty. In 2000, the most recent year for which that data has been collected, the UW ranked second. Total grant and contract activity for 2001 exceeded $700 million. More than 80 percent of the uni- versity’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library sys- tem that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes. In addition to offering instruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers a spectrum of continuing education courses that advance technical and pro- fessional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and enrich- ment. Washington has 17 major schools and colleges: Architecture and Urban Planning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Forest Resources, The Graduate School, The Information The magnificent architecture of the Washington campus is replete School, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy, with fountains, flowers and greenery.

Washington operates the University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center, which annually provide more than 200,000 days of patient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpatient clinics. Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new business to the region. It provides these, and established businesses, with a steady stream of well- educated graduates and with highly skilled faculty members who assist business and industry in a variety of ways. The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 703 acres in the city’s northeast residential area, a beautiful setting on the shore of Lake Washington and Portage Bay.
