With 11:41 to go in the fourth quarter of Washington's Saturday afternoon contest against the Maryland Terrapins, quarterback Demond Williams Jr. would throw for a 34-yard touchdown that not only swung the momentum of the game, but may have even saved the Huskies' season.

On the receiving end of that touchdown was true freshman wide receiver Dezmen Roebuck, his catch making it a 20-17 game in favor of the Terrapins -- a far cry from the 20-0 deficit the Huskies faced for a good portion of the late game. The touchdown made the comeback Washington was mounting feel far more achievable, and a Jonah Coleman touchdown about eight minutes of game time later sealed a 24-20 win, all of the Huskies' points unanswered.
