Washington Avoids Apple Cup Upset After Improbable Fourth Down Play Call

No. 4 Washington survived unranked Washington State’s upset bid in the Apple Cup by a final score of 24–21, but the Huskies can credit their narrow victory to an unbelievable fourth down play call on the final drive.

With the game tied 21-21 with just over a minute to play, the Huskies were faced with fourth-and-1 from their own 29-yard line. Instead of punting, Washington brought its offense out onto the field. 

Some college football fans might question this decision, but those college football fans don’t have the play call of the year drawn up like Washington coach Kalen DeBoer did.
