Washington Escapes Utah State 16-14 After Goal‑Line Interception

The late turnover preserved a 2-0 start for the Huskies while season‑ending and uncertain injuries to their top running backs force immediate changes to the offense.

Overview

  • Washington beat Utah State 16-14 on Sept. 12 after a Washington defender intercepted a final Hail Mary at the goal line as time expired.
  • Freshman Ansu Sanoe scored Washington’s lone touchdown and Tyler Robles added a fourth‑quarter field goal to provide the margin of victory.
  • Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. completed 26 of 41 passes for 249 yards and ran for 56 yards as he managed a heavier role with the backfield depleted.
  • Top Huskies backs Quaid Carr underwent left‑hand surgery and is expected to be out at least for the season while Jayden Limar’s elbow injury leaves his return timeline uncertain.
  • Utah State’s rookie starter Grady Brosterhous showed mobility and threw for 196 yards but had multiple interceptions, and the Aggies remain 0-2 with a struggling run game ahead of a trip to No. 20 Utah next week.
