The key play on the game-winning drive — as in gutsiest — happened when Washington faced a fourth-and-1 from its 29 with 1:07 left.
The Huskies went into trickeration mode and Romeo Odunze ran for 23 yards and a first down.

Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. didn’t look in great shape despite the victory. He was helped off the field.
The quarterback had taken a late hit on the game-winning drive that was flagged for roughing the passer.
