The Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars both won on Saturday as I hoped for. The Washington Huskies beat Colorado 27-13 though the game was closer than the score indicated. For a period of time the score was 14-13. In fact it was the score at halftime. The Huskies scored 13 points in the second half without giving up a point however there was doubt for much of the second half. The kicker for the Huskies kicked a 31 yard field goal in the third quarter making it 17-13.It stayed that way until 3:20 left in the fourth quarter when wide receiver Aaron Fuller caught a touchdown being wide open making it 24-13. The Huskies then made another field at 2:02 left in the game to seal the deal.
The Huskies were without starting running back Myles Gaskins for the game because of injury so they went with three running backs who did a fine job. Back up runner back Salvon Ahmed who himself was hurt against Oregon last week ran the ball nine times for 73 yards and scoring a touchdown. The other two running back Sean McGrew ran 12 times for 58 yards and Kamari Pleasant ran 10 times for 35 times with a touchdown along with catching one pass for ten yards.
The Washington State Cougars beat the Oregon Ducks 34-20. It was a difference of two half as the Cougars took the lead 27-0 at half time however the Ducks came back scoring twenty unanswered points to come into reach by a touchdown in the fourth quarter being down 27-20. The Cougars then made a late touchdown to seal the deal 34-20. At the end of the game the fans poured onto the field.
Running back James Williams ran for a touchdown in the first quarter then quarterback Gardner Minshew threw three touchdowns in the second quarter. They missed the extra point on the first touchdown he threw. Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert who didn't have a good first half threw an eight yard at 11:54 in the 3rd quarter. The Ducks kicked a field goal then Herbert threw another touchdown with 36 seconds remaining in the third quarter. They kicked another field goal at 6:38 remaining in the game to make it exciting and undecided at 27-20. The Cougars final touchdown as at 3:40 left in the game.
The Huskies will take on California at home next week while the Cougars take on Stanford on the road .
