Just a couple of brief notes from the Sunday conference call:

• Michael Smith is probable this week. Scott Lutrus, Sio Moore and Kashif Moore are questionable. Beau Brunelli and Aaron Basgby return to practice from suspensions. Brunelli is out with an injury.
• Game balls went to Andre Dixon (offense), Lawrence Wilson (defense) and Desi Cullen and Jasper Howard (special teams).
• Mike Ryan and Erik Kuraczea were worked into the offensive line rotation, while Nick Williams and Mike Lang got in at at wide receiver. Edsall said the maneuvers were reward for improvement and hard work at practice, and that the Huskies will continue to do some of the same things this Saturday with Rhode Island.
• The Huskies determined a nickle package on defense would work best with what Baylor was giving, which is why Kijuan Dabney one got in for one play. Edsall thought Blidi Wreh-Wilson played well, especially since Baylor saw him as a new guy in the lineup and tried to go at him.
