The Washington Huskies have been crowned Pac-12 Champions for the first time in 16 years after dominating the Oregon Ducks in a physical matchup. The Huskies, led by quarterback Jacob Eason, put on a show in front of their home crowd at Husky Stadium, winning 35-31.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with the Huskies taking an early lead and the Ducks fighting back to tie the game at 28-28 in the fourth quarter. But it was the Huskies who had the last laugh, as Eason threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Aaron Fuller with just over two minutes left in the game to seal the victory.
The Washington defense was especially impressive, holding the Ducks to just 31 points and forcing two turnovers. The Huskies also had a huge advantage in total yards, outgaining Oregon 518-258.
The win was especially sweet for the Huskies, who had lost their last two games against Oregon. It was also a big statement for the Pac-12, as Washington is now the first team from the conference to make it to the College Football Playoff.
The Huskies will now face Ohio State in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. It will be a tough test for Washington, but if they can replicate their performance against Oregon, they have a good chance of advancing to the National Championship game.
Overall, it was a great day for the Washington Huskies and their fans. They have earned the right to be called Pac-12 Champions and are now one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal of winning a National Championship.
