SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Coming into the Pac-12 championship game, Washington quarterback Jake Browning was seemingly the biggest threat to the Colorado defense.

Turns out, it was really the Huskies' running back tandem that posed the main problem.

During Washington's 41-10 win against the Buffs in Friday's conference championship game, Myles Gaskin and Lavon Coleman both topped the 100-yard mark on the ground, the first time in the six-year history of the Pac-12 championship game that teammates hit that mark.

Gaskin finished with 159 yards on 29 carries, while Coleman had 101 yards on 18 carries.
