Gaskin, Browning help Washington keep UCLA down

Myles Gaskin rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns, Jake Browning passed for 265 yards and No. 10 Washington beat UCLA 31-24 on Saturday.

The Huskies led 24-7 at halftime but saw the Bruins climb back within a touchdown twice in the fourth quarter. Washington took a 31-17 lead with a 12-play, 81-yard drive that took 6:45 off the clock and ended with Gaskin’s 1-yard TD on a direct snap with 3:42 remaining.

Joshua Kelley scored on a 2-yard run with 1:38 left, and the Bruins attempted an onside kick, but Washington recovered and ran out the clock. “When the game was on the line we made the plays when we needed,” Washington coach Chris Petersen said. “UCLA did a nice job of shortening the game as they got back into it.” Browning completed 18 of 26 passes with one TD and one interception. The senior also ran for a score as Washington (5-1, 3-0 Pac-12) got its first win at the Rose Bowl over UCLA since 1995.

“It feels pretty good to get the win down here. There’s always stuff we need to work on, but now we’re moving on,” Browning said.

Aaron Fuller had five receptions for 100 yards, including a 25-yard TD catch in the first quarter that opened the scoring. UCLA freshman Dorian Thompson-Robinson was 27 of 38 for 272 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Kelley had 116 yards on 27 carries.

The Bruins, who are in their first year under coach Chip Kelly, fell to 0-5 for the first time since 1943. They are 0-2 in the Pac-12.

“At the end of the day you are judged by winning and losing. We made

some improvements but we’ll see where we go from here,” Kelly said.

Washington took a 24-7 lead at halftime on 1-yard runs by Gaskin and Browning.

The Bruins, who had been outscored 83-31 in the second half in their first four games, got within 24-17 early in the fourth quarter. JJ Molson hit a 49-yard field goal and Caleb Wilson had a 9-yard TD catch to complete a 17-play, 90-yard drive.

Washington St. 56, Oregon St. 37: The host Beavers (1-5, 0-3) led 30-28 early in the second half on the strength of four touchdown runs by Jermar Jefferson before the Cougars scored four straight touchdowns, on two runs by Max Borghi and two TD passes by Gardner Minshew. The Cougars quarterback threw for five scores and 430 yards. The Cougars (5-1, 2-1) got eight catches for 119 yards and two TDs from Davontavean Martin. #21 Colorado 28, Arizona St. 21: Wide receiver Laviska Shenault scored four touchdowns and the host Buffaloes beat the Sun Devils for just the second time in the program’s history. Colorado (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) overcame the ejection of linebacker Nate Landman in the second quarter and stifled Arizona State running back Eno Benjamin in the second half. Benjamin, who set a school record a week ago with 312 yards rushing against Oregon State, finished with 120 yards and two touchdowns but managed just 23 yards after halftime. The Sun Devils (3-3, 1-2) host Stanford on Oct. 18.
