UW coach Jedd Fisch made that determination in his Monday media briefing.
Taking any mystery out of how he will use his quarterbacks going forward, University of Washington coach Jedd Fisch said senior Will Rogers will remain the starter for the UCLA game on Friday night at Husky Stadium.
A Mississippi State transfer, the 6-foot-2, 216-pound Rogers started the Huskies' first 10 games, with this past outing marking the 50th opening assignment of his college career.Rogers sat down against Penn State after he and the offense had failed to put any points on the board in five first-half drives and went in trailing 28-0 at the half.
On the first offensive series against the Nittany Lions, Rogers directed the Husky offense from his own 30 to the opposing 22 before it stalled out, leading to a Grady Gross field-goal attempt that hit the right crossbar. That would the most success he would have. The 5-foot-11, 187-pound Williams has appeared in every Husky game in a reserve role and is being groomed to become Rogers' replacement next season. On Saturday, he hit on 6 of 10 passes for 60 yards, ran 10 times for a team-leading 38 yards and guided the UW to its only points of the game on a pair of field goals. Yet his time as a starter will have to wait.
