Jake Browning – Noteworthy
Jake Browning threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Fuller on fourth down with less than four minutes remaining, and No. 15 Washington held off Colorado 27-13 on Saturday. Washington’s four-year starting quarterback had an unremarkable game up until the Huskies (6-2, 4-1 Pac-12) needed a big play. Rather than trying for a long field goal, Browning and the Huskies’ offense stayed on the field. Facing a Colorado blitz, Browning found Fuller on a quick slant with nothing but the end zone ahead. “When I saw it was cover zero I brought my best release because I knew I was the first read on that one,” Fuller said. “They were doing that a little bit when we got toward the red zone and things like that so when we saw that, it was wide open.” Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said bringing the blitz wasn’t even a question. “When we brought four, we never got to him. Not one time. He’d run around and make the plays. When we pressured him, we got him out sometimes, so that’s what we did,” MacIntyre said. – AP College Football
