Utah Utes football: Washington Huskies bite Utes, destroy hopes of winning season
Although Utah retaliated with a 20-yard touchdown run by White on the ensuing possession, the Utes ran into misfortune the next time they touched the ball.
Charles Henderson muffed a punt return and Jamaal Kearse recovered it for Washington near midfield. Less than two minutes passed before the Huskies took advantage of the takeway. A 2-yard touchdown plunge by Bishop Sankey made it 27-15 late in the third quarter.
It stayed that way until Sankey added a 4-yard TD run with 3:58 remaining. Coons followed with the PAT to cap all scoring in the contest.
Utah remains winless in eight tries against Washington. The Huskies remain the only team in the Pac-12 that the Utes have never beaten.

I've said all season as soon as the Utes turned the corner we'd be unstoppable. Washington had a tough time with Cal, which says volumes. we're well on our way to 8-5, which is very respectable(when you're More..

When you predicted a "W" for your boys, I knew a loss was inevitable. I have a few tickets to the Rose Bowl I will sell you.
Utes should have remained in the MWC to be competitive long term.
