The No. 19 Washington Huskies edged out Utah State 24-14 in a gritty, error-filled game that felt much closer than the score suggests. Despite fumbles, missed field goals, and a costly 78-yard touchdown pass to Utah State, the defense stepped up with three crucial interceptions, stifling the Aggies’ run game. QB Demond Williams Jr. threw for 249 yards but also tossed two picks. After Utah State briefly took a 7-3 lead, Washington answered with a touchdown run from Ansu Sanoe to go up 10-7 at halftime. The Huskies extended their lead with field goals, but Utah State rallied for a late touchdown to make it 16-14 with under two minutes left — only for Washington’s defense to seal the win with a last-second interception. A hard-fought victory, but one that exposed serious offensive flaws and left fans wondering if this ranked team can deliver the dominant play they’re expected to.
