Washington Stops USC Twice In 4th Quarter To Preserve 26-21 Victory
November 02, 2024 | Football
Will Rogers threw for 262 yards for the Huskies against their former Pac-12 foes. The victory extended Washington's 19-game winning streak at home.
The Trojans (4-5, 2-4 Big Ten) got to Washington's 1-yard line in the fourth quarter with a chance to pull in front but the Huskies stopped Trojan running back Woody Marks on fourth down and took over with 5:04 left in the game.
Washington (5-4, 3-3) was forced to punt on its final drive, and USC quarterback Miller Moss led the Trojans to the Husky 14. On third-and-4, Moss' attempt to Kyron Hudson was broken up by Ephesians Prysock. The Husky defense got pressure on Moss and his final chance on fourth down fell incomplete.

The Huskies intercepted Moss three times in the game, twice by Carson Bruener.
The victory got the Huskies a win closer to bowl eligibility, with three games remaining on the schedule - a home game on Nov. 15 against UCLA and road games against No. 3 Penn State and No. 1 Oregon.
On the Trojans' second series of the game, Moss' pass to Kyle Ford tipped into the hands of Carson Bruener for the interception. Grady Gross' 39-yard field goal capped Washington's drive.
Coleman, the Huskies' leading rusher, ran for a 19-yard touchdown before the end of the first quarter. It was his career-best sixth TD of the season.
Woody Marks' 1-yard TD dash to close the gap to 10-7. The Huskies responded with Coleman's 15-yard scoring run to extend the lead once more.
Gross' 45-yard field goal in pouring rain gave Washington a 20-7 lead at the half.
USC rallied in the second half. Makai Lemon caught a pass and sprinted into the end zone for a 37-yard touchdown that closed the gap in the third quarter. Moss pulled the Trojans ahead 21-20 with a 9-yard TD pass to Ford.
But Washington capitalized after Moss was intercepted by Bruener again. Aided by an unsportsmanlike conduct call on USC, the Huskies retook the lead early in the final quarter on Keith Reynolds' 4-yard scoring run, his first career touchdown.
The Huskies visit No. 3 Penn State next Saturday. The announced kickoff time is 5:00 p.m. PT.
