SEATTLE While the Wolverines will want to forget about Saturday"s loss, Marquise Walker"s performance was something for the ages. The senior set the school record for receptions with 15, and finished with 159 and two touchdowns.

"Marquise is an outstanding football player," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. "He"s a senior, he"s been around, he"s been in a lot of big games. He has great hands, he runs great routes. The route he ran on the first touchdown at the end of the first half was really a textbook move. He made a great move to the inside and (quarterback) John (Navarre), I thought, made some great throws."

Prior to Walker, the record was shared by Tai Streets and Brad Myers.

Walker also made an impact on special teams, where he blocked a punt in the first half that went through the endzone for a safety.

While Walker"s performance was impressive, he was the Wolverines" lone target tight end Bennie Joppru"s three catches were second most on the team something that the Wolverines will need to improve upon as the season progresses.

Huskies" Stevens punished: This offseason, Washington star tight end Jerramy Stevens was arrested for a hit-and-run incident in which he was drunk driving and ran into a nursing home, before fleeing the scene.

For the offense, the junior was suspended for the first half of the game, before starting the second half.

"Publicly there are a lot of questions about his character," Washington coach Rick Neuheisel carefully said while scratching the back of his neck. "For those who do not know him, I feel comfortable, that even though Jerramy has made mistakes, he has realized that he is accountable for his actions and that he needs to make some great decisions. We have some things going on internally to help him with some of his behavioral issues.

"I thought that given all that he has put into making restoration for his transgression, it was a worthy punishment to miss the first half,"

When asked what he learned from the incident, Stevens said: "My lesson learned is to put this behind me.

"Now I"m trying to move on and more forward."

He finished the game with two catches for 24 yards.

Will the thrill: Washington freshman receiver Reggie Williams was the top receiving prospect coming out of high school and was recruited by nearly every school in the country.

Ultimately, the Washington native narrowed his choices down to Michigan and Washington before choosing the Huskies.

Lined up against senior defensive back Todd Howard, Williams consistently impressed, finishing with four catches for 134 yards.

"It was a little more than I expected," Williams said. "Michigan"s "a great program and I knew they were going to try and come in here and win but that doesn"t happen.

"They"re a great team so you can"t take nothing from them."
