By Bob Condotta

So if, for some reason, there is a call for a backup quarterback Saturday, who gets the ball — Jake Locker or Johnny DuRocher? If Tyrone Willingham knows, he's keeping it to himself. On Thursday, in his last meeting with the media before Saturday's game at California, the Washington coach indicated he is still wrestling with the decision of who will be behind Carl Bonnell, the quarterback who's starting for injured Isaiah Stanback.  "I hate to be as noncommittal, but that's what the circumstances right now dictate," he said.
