Washington holds on to upset No. 6 Oregon
Peyton Henry kicked a 43yard field goal with 51 seconds left and No. 25 Washington ended No. 6 Oregon’s eightgame winning streak with a 37-34 victory Saturday, dealing a blow to the Ducks’ chances for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Michael Penix Jr. threw a 62yard scoring pass to Taj Davis to tie it at 34-34 with 3:07 to go after Oregon quarterback Bo Nix limped off the field on the previous series.
Nix returned after Henry’s field goal and got the Ducks (9-2, 6-1) to the Washington 38 but the final drive fizzled with a penalty. The Huskies (8-2, 5-2) won in Eugene for the first time since 2016.
Penix threw for 408 yards and two touchdowns as Washington stopped a 13-game losing streak against ranked Oregon teams. The last win was in 2002 when the Huskies beat No. 23 Oregon 42-12. Washington was 0-7 against the Ducks when they were ranked in the top 10.
Nix fell after a two-yard run on third and five on the Washington 10 and he limped off the field. Cameron Lewis’ 26-yard field goal finished the drive to make it 34-27 with 3:54 left.
Oregon’s loss ended a 23game home winning streak, the third-longest streak in the nation and one shy of the school record.
