Heading into this game, despite their struggles, the Washington Huskies had huge expectations riding on them to win their conference opener. In a nail-biting ending, Washington ended up winning against Cal 31-24 after overtime play.
Some big injury updates become known to the media before the start of the game, including the announcement that starting cornerback Trent McDuffie would be inactive.
Tight end Cade Otton was also reported as out as he is currently in COVID-19 protocol. Devin Culp was announced as the starter in his place.
It was nerve-racking at first to learn that Huskies would be without two of their biggest difference-makers but ended up just fine without them.
