Washington 20, No. 9 Oregon State 17: Travis Coons kicked a
30-yard field goal with 1:20 to play and the host Huskies intercepted four passes to
knock the Beavers from the ranks of the undefeated in a Pac-12 game.
Coonsกฏ kick capped a seven-play, 63-yard drive after Oregon
State had rallied to tie the game in the fourth quarter. The loss denied the
Beavers (6-1, 4-1 Pac-12) their first 7-0 start in school history.
Bishop Sankey scored a pair of touchdowns for the Huskies
(4-4, 2-3) who snapped a three-game slide and defeated a top 10 team for the
second time this season. Keith Price threw for 194 yards on 18 for 30 passing for the Huskies.
Quarterback Sean Mannion returned to the Oregon State lineup
after missing the past two games following knee surgery. Mannion threw a 54-yard
touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks midway through the third quarter but he was
wildly erratic, throwing four interceptions.
Mannion was replaced by Cody Vaz with 8:19 to play in the
fourth quarter and Vaz connected with Connor Hamlett for a 29-yard score to tie
the game at 17 with 4:58 to play. After Coonsกฏ go-ahead field goal, Vaz
drove the Beavers to the Washington 38 before the Beavers turned it over on downs after two incomplete passes, a sack and another incompletion.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Scouts from the Sun Bowl were at the game
checking out both teams. กญWashington appeared to have taken the lead with 13:22
left in the fourth quarter when John Timu intercepted a Mannion pass and
returned it for a score. The Huskies, though, were penalized for an illegal block on the
return. กญWashington has won its last 10 games decided by less than 10 points, including three this season.
