BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Washington coach Chris Petersen doesn't lose often, let alone two in a row.
So this is strange territory as he endures his first slide since 2007, when he was coaching perennial power Boise State.
But Petersen's message remains steadfast to the Huskies (5-3, 1-3 Pac-12): Ignore the "outside noise." Tune out what's being written on social media sites. Concentrate solely on Saturday's game at Colorado (2-6, 0-5) — a team on a four-game skid, including two losses in double-overtime.
It's not like his team has lost to a couple of nobodies. They fell to No. 5 Oregon, 45-20, in Eugene and at home against No. 15 Arizona State, 24-10, last weekend in windy and rainy conditions.
