The 2010 Washington Huskies football team represented the University of Washington in the 2010 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team's head coach was Steve Sarkisian. The Huskies played their home games at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington, and were members of the Pacific-10 Conference. They finished the season 7–6, 5–4 in Pac-10 play and were invited to the Holiday Bowl, their first bowl game in eight years, where they defeated Nebraska 19–7.
Heisman hopeful Jake Locker decided to return to Washington for his senior season. In 2009, Locker passed for 2,800 yards and 21 touchdowns. Had he decided to enter the NFL Draft after his junior year, many draft analysts predicted he would have been a Top 5 pick.
Sophomore running back Chris Polk is primed for another 1,000-yard rushing season. Polk had had the best freshman season ever for a Husky running back in 2009 with 1,113 yards, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. He also scored 5 touchdowns. Polk surpassed 100 yards rushing in 4 of the final 5 games of the season, just missing in the season finale against California (94 yards).
This will be the 8th time these teams have met for non-conference play, with the series currently tied at 3-3-1. Nebraska owns the overall scoring edge at 146-109, and also the last victory, a 55-7 triumph in front of a sold-out home stadium crowd in 1998. This is the start of a home and home series with the Huskies visiting Nebraska next year at Memorial Stadium.
Washington upset 18th-ranked USC for the second consecutive season, winning at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on a last-second 30-yard field goal.
Erik Folk, who hit the game-winning field goal, was named Pac-10 special teams player of the week. He went 4-for-4 field goals and two PAT attempts.Folk kicked a 22-yarder to defeat the Trojans 16-13 the previous season.
Jake Locker threw a career-high five touchdown passes, two in overtime to Jermaine Kearse, and the Huskies stopped the Beavers 2-point conversion in double overtime to keep their bowl hopes alive.
