After an incredibly underwhelming effort in the passing game against Oregon State the hope was that a bye week would help the Huskies get back on track. Those hopes quickly died in the first half as once again Washington showed no energy to start the game on the road and their attempt to mount a comeback in the 2nd half fell short in a 20-14 loss in Boulder. Washington falls to 6-5 (3-5) on the season and are now guaranteed their first losing conference season under Chris Petersen since his first year on the job.
The Washington defense got a hold on the opening drive after Colorado committed holding on what would’ve been Steven Montez’s second scramble for a first down of the drive.
