Game Recap: Football |
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Michael Penix Jr. passed for 319 yards and a touchdown, Dillon Johnson ran for 152 yards and two TDs and No. 3 Washington wrapped up a spot in the College Football Playoff, beating No. 5 Oregon 34-31 on Friday night in the Pac-12 Championship.
Washington (13-0) was the last Pac-12 team to make the CFP - in the 2016 season.
The Huskies, who were 9.5-point underdogs, scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to take a 34-24 lead. Oregon (11-2) scored a late touchdown for the final score, but failed to recover the onside kick, ending the Ducks' six-game winning streak.
Two Washington receivers had more than 100 yards - Jalen McMillan (nine receptions for 131 yards) and Biletnikoff finalist Rome Odunze (eight for 102) who was returning to his hometown.
Oregon's Bo Nix passed for 239 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 69 yards.
If it was indeed the final title game for the conference, it was quite a way to go as Oregon and Washington again played a high-scoring game with big plays throughout. The Huskies won their regular-season meeting 36-33 in Seattle and have won three consecutive games against their rival.
Washington took a 20-3 lead before the Ducks scored a touchdown with nine seconds left in the first half to get to within 10 points.
The Ducks took the lead at 24-20 with 1:51 left in the third quarter on a six-yard TD run.
The lead didn't last long as Washington scored on its next drive to take the lead for good.
