SEATTLE (AP) — Chris Petersen has felt the need to apologize for something out of his control. The Washington coach is tired of seeing the sixth-ranked Huskies stuck with less than optimal kickoff times _ both because it affects fans and reduces exposure for the program.

Washington found out its home game against California this week will kick off at 7:45 p.m. Pacific. So will its game against Arizona State next week.

KPUG Edit: You can hear Saturday’s UW/Cal game on KPUG 1170AM & 97.9FM following the Cougars and Ducks.
