Washington 27, Washington State 17: Keith Price directed four second-half
scoring drives and Bishop Sankey rushed for 200 yards as the host Huskies
rallied past the Cougars to reclaim the Apple Cup.
Price, a
game-time decision after missing last week with a shoulder injury, threw for a touchdown
and 181 yards for the Huskies (8-4, 5-4 Pac-12). Sankey rushed for 139 yards in
the second half alone to outgain the Cougars' total rushing output of 44 yards
for the game.
Connor Halliday
was 32-of-59 for 282 yards and two touchdowns but threw a pair of interceptions,
including a costly one late in the fourth quarter to seal the game. The Cougars
(6-6, 4-5) had four receivers with more than 40 yards, led by River
Cracraft's three catches for 47 yards.
After being
limited in the first half to Travis Coons' 48-yard field goal on their first drive of the game, the Huskies reached the end zone on their first two
possessions of the second half. Price found Austin Seferian-Jenkins for an 18-yard
scoring strike to cap an 85-yard drive, and Sankey finished off a 60-yard march
with a 7-yard run to take a 17-10 lead.
Coons added his
second field goal of the game to make it 20-10, but Halliday - who threw a 14-yard
touchdown to Rickey Galvin in the second quarter - lofted a 5-yard TD to Dom
Williams with 7:30 remaining to pull the Cougars within 20-17. Gregory Ducre
picked off Halliday's second interception with 5:16 remaining at the Cougars'
41 and Price scored from 2 yards out with 2:08 to close it out.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Halliday broke Ryan Leaf's (3,968) school record for single-season passing yards and
the Pac-12 single-season mark for completions (4,187 yards and 412 completions). ... Washington State's 91-yard touchdown drive
was its second-longest of the season. ... Coons is 14-of-15 on field goals for
a 93.3 percent success rate that is second-best all-time for a single season at
Washington State.
