Washington would put together another drive and score as Jackson would recieve the quick flat and go in untouched from 20 yards out. 21-14
Northwestern would draw a roughing the passer penalty but after that be forced to punt from their own 44.. The Wildcat D would finally make a stop and forced a three and out getting the ball back for their offense at mid field.
The WIldcats would get stuffed on a third and 1 and coach Kelly decided to take the 38 yard field goal instead of going for it on 4th and 2 with a minute left in the third. "We just got a three and out, felt like we were figuring them out". Field goal was good to make it, 21-17.
Washington would convert a third and 4 as the middle of the field parted like Moses was there. The Huskies would not let it get to third down again as they scored to go up 28-17.

The Wildcat D would get some pressure and force a third and 11, but they would give up a 20 yard strike on the in route as yet again the middle was wide open. Washington would convert on one more 3rd and short to seal the game 28-23.
Good Game Dub, hell of an air attack. Best of luck the rest of the season.
