In a game where both defensives shined with a total of seven forced turnovers, fittingly the game was decided on the final play by a turnover as Nikko Reid picked off a Washington pass with two seconds left, and just managed to barely outrun the Huskies on the way to the end zone for a 62-yard pick six with no time left on the clock for a 30-24 victory in a key rivalry game.
Oregon actually opened the game with a pick six as well, but would throw five of its own, allowing Washington to take a lead in the 24-17 lead in the 4th. The Ducks kept throwing, and found the endzone on a Terrance Ferguson TD to tie the game at 4:03. After forcing a stop, Oregon got the ball back around the 2-minute mark and was driving to the endzone with Washington came up with a huge user pick. But on third down, Reed stepped in front of a pass and 62 yards later was standing in the end zone for the score.
The fan base can finally talk about next season, as Coach Doodee's Washington Huskies lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Oregon Ducks.
Will Rogers threw a pick six to open the game, and to close the game on the final play, but was pretty sharp in between. Washington kept the game close in a really tough environment and even took the lead 24-17 in the third quarter, but Oregon mounted an impressive comeback on the strength of their running game.
Coach Doodee arrived late at a postgame press conference, and most people are assuming he was fired afterwards.
"We just came together as a team a little too late, and gollee we had a tough schedule. But I'm proud of the effort we put together, and I know whether it's me or someone else coaching here next year, there's something to build on."
Great game mtwasik. Good luck in the postseason!
