NEW ERA PINSTRIPE BOWL
Washington Huskies(6-6) at Pittsburgh Panthers(7-5)
An even game, but RB William Mack is out injured last year he played sparingly due to injury. This time he misses it completely. We'll be going after their secondary.
1st
Washington misses a short 24-yard FGA
That's all from a quarter which mostly was punt and punt and punt.
Washington is 1 and 2 as times expires for the first quarter.
2nd
Washington QB Baker starts off by running it in from 2 yards for the go-ahead score. 6-0 (OLB Morrow blocks the PAT)
PITT K Newberry misses a 47 yard FGA. still 6-0
On the very next possesion WSH K Terry Do sends a 38-yarder through the posts. 9-0 WSH
Twice in the half have C Estrada made costly penalties on 3rd down that made 2 conversions into failures. Costly.
3rd:
Freshman of the year S Chisholm steps in front of QB Bakers throw and intercepts Washinton on the first drive of the second half. Way to swing the momentum!
The offense responds by going 3-and-out. Our lacking running game is killing us.
Later in the quarter K Newberry converts a 29 FG Attempt. 3-9. He's ecstatic. he finally made a FG! So ecstatic he kicks the ensuing kickoff OOB. Stupid!
4th
After exchanging punts a couple of times the Huskies fit in the dagger with 2:01 left. RB Hairston drives it in from 1-yard out, and afterwards convert the 2-point conversion as well. 17-3 Huskies
QB Lewis end the game trying to force something to happen and gets intercepted.
Final:
Washington Huskies 17
Pittsburgh Panthers 3
