Jones, Ulofoshio, Lake talk about Stanford loss

Washington receiver Ty Jones, linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio, and Head Coach Jimmy Lake spoke to the media after their 31-26 loss Saturday afternoon to the Stanford Cardinal at Husky Stadium, and you could tell the loss - the first of the season for the Huskies - was going to be one that might take just a little bit longer than 24 hours to absorb. In fact, the UW coaches may want to allow this one to sting just a little bit longer to make sure the lessons were learned.And they were hard lessons too. Whether talking about execution in all three phases of the game; from another slow start, to not being able to run between the tackles, to not being able to stop the run and get off the field on third down, to giving up big returns in the kicking game and also a blocked extra point - there’s going to be a lot of film study the Huskies can use to grow and get better.But they still had their opportunities to come back from another 24-point halftime deficit, and almost made it happen. But the Cardinal made plays on both sides of the ball in the moments that mattered to keep the Huskies at bay.Jones talked about not having teammates Terrell Bynum and Puka Nacua there today, as well as the big day for freshman Rome Odunze. Ulofoshio’s frustration was evident as he talked about the things he felt they didn’t execute that could have spelled the difference in the game.And Coach Lake was asked about the slow start, but couldn’t pin-point any one thing that stood out that would have given him pause during pre-game. He was also asked about energy being an issue, the growth of players like Zion Tupuola-Fetui and getting more pressure to get Stanford QB Davis Mills off his spot. Did he think the hold call on M.J. Ale was legit, the one that cost UW a chance to potentially tie the game in the fourth quarter?
