SEATTLE — As Utah’s 7-point lead crumpled in the game’s final minutes, Washington was ready for its stunning comeback. The Huskies have spent hours in practice preparing for moments like Saturday night.
“I can’t tell you how often we practice those two-minute drills,” Washington head coach Chris Petersen told media. “We try to cut down practice a little bit and it’s a high-intensity drill. But we always feel that’s something we can’t cut.”
It turned out to be a good decision by the coaching staff as the drill was needed against Utah.
Washington running back Myles Gaskin evened the score at 30 with a two-yard touchdown with 58 seconds left in the game.
