Freshman running back Jacque Robinson gained 142 yards on 20 carries and set up or scored three of the Huskies' four touchdowns. A non-starter, he had entered the game in the second quarter and did not play in the third; he was the first freshman named Player of the Game. Washington quarterback Steve Pelluer was 15 for 29 passing, end Paul Skansi had four big catches, and linebacker Mark Jerue made thirteen tackles.
