A spring finale that otherwise lacked much intrigue ended in dramatic fashion Saturday afternoon.
On the final snap of the Huskies’ “live” scrimmage, sophomore running back Sean McGrew was stopped just shy of the goal line on a fourth-and-1 play, giving the UW defense a 37-33 come-from-behind win in the spring preview scrimmage before a few thousand fans at Husky Stadium.
UW coach Chris Petersen helped manufacture the late drama when he spotted the ball at the defense’s 10-yard line and gave the No. 3 offense — led by true freshman Colson Yankoff on this final series — four plays to score.
