Just 10 years ago Washington was a national championship contender. The fall was fast and steep. Three times in the past seven seasons, the Huskies won two or fewer games, and they haven't managed a winning record in that span. But all indications point to the Huskies ending that drought. Locker, Polk and Kearse are among the most productive offensive trios in the country. Defensively, the Huskies need to improve on pass coverage and the pass rush. If strides are made in those areas, the Huskies could be a factor in the Pac-10 championship race.
