Dante Pettis, Azeem Victor and Washington's absence of a running game highlight our first Game Awards of the season.

This was a pretty easy category to decide, made even easier by the fact that the team's only touchdown of the evening came from Pettis via his punt return. Last year against Colorado, Dante ended Washington's 11-year drought of returning a punt for a touchdown; his second career return for a score Friday against Boise State provided a spark to the Huskies that led to them coming within a foot of a Cameron Van Winkle field goal from engineering a second-half comeback for the ages.
