Washington Football’s quarterback Jake Browning faces stiff competition from the Pac-12 this year. While national eyes turn to USC, the real story is much more complicated. How does Browning stack up in the conference?
The Washington Football team can go as far as quarterback Jake Browning can take them. While he is currently under the radar, don’t ignore his performance so far. He’s as solid as they come. He can take a thumping, only to come back and toss a touchdown. But he is benefiting from the incredible long distance hands of wide receiver Dante Pettis.
