Chris Petersen went out in style.
In his final game as the head coach at Washington, Petersen’s Huskies blew out No. 19 Boise State — Petersen’s former team — by a final score of 38-7 in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Petersen surprisingly announced that he was stepping down as UW’s head coach earlier this month. Saturday night’s win gives Petersen a 55-26 record over six seasons coaching the Huskies. Coupled with his excellent eight-year run at Boise State, Petersen leaves college football with a sterling 147-38 record as a head coach.
Petersen will hand the program over to his defensive coordinator, Jimmy Lake.
