By Gregg Bell UW Director of Writing SEATTLE - Bow down to ... Bishop Sankey, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and the return of the swagger inside Keith Price. Sankey ran for 162 yards on 36 carries with two touchdowns to become the 10 th running back in UW history with 1,000 yards in a season. Seferian-Jenkins caught seven more passes for 99 yards to pass Mark Bruener and become Washington's all-time leader for career receptions by a tight end - as a sophomore. He also debuted as a pass-rush tight end. Price completed 24 of 33 passes for a season-high 277 yards and two touchdowns passing plus another rushing, striking a defiant, hands-on-hips pose in the end zone after that one. And the suddenly smokin' Huskies bowled through Utah 34-15 Saturday night on a thumping Senior Night at CenturyLink Field. Washington (6-4, 4-3 Pac-12) qualified for its third consecutive bowl with its third straight win. How long ago was that winless season? Eons? Utah (4-6, 2-5) took an early 8-0 lead - then watch Sankey, Seferian-Jenkins, Price, and a thudding Huskies defense dominate as UW scored 34 of the next 41 points to improve to 8-0 all-time against the Utes. The Huskies go to Colorado (1-9, 1-6) next Saturday. Kickoff in Boulder, Colo., is at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time. Check back here soon for updates and reaction from the locker room on GoHuskies.com. |
