Over the last four games, true freshman Kasen Williams has emerged as the Huskies’ best receiver. For the season, he leads all UW wideouts in catch percentage and is second to No. 5 receiver Kevin Smith in yards per target. Williams also is tied for the team lead in touchdowns with six despite playing sparingly the first half of the year.
Chris Polk added his fourth receiving touchdown and finished the year nearly perfect in terms of catching the football. Let’s also update where he stands on the leaderboards we posted four games ago:
Player Year Rec Yds YPC --------------------------------------------- Greg Lewis 1989 45 350 7.8 Greg Lewis 1990 20 345 17.3 Hugh McElhenny 1951 -- 339 -- Chris Polk 2011 29 324 11.2
Polk’s pace slowed a bit until the Apple Cup, but he’s still got a chance to become the all-time leading receiver among Husky running backs with a good bowl effort. Polk has also moved into third place in Washington history in yards from scrimmage, surpassing his own mark from last season.

Given that Polk is averaging nearly 140 yards from scrimmage per game, he stands an excellent chance of moving past Greg Lewis and coming up with the second most prolific season ever for a Husky running back.
