(Levi’s Stadium) WASHINGTON 10 UTAH 3 When neither offense could do much of anything, it was only fitting that a pass that bounced off a receiver’s hands and leg turned into the winning play. Byron Murphy returned a deflected interception 66 yards for the game’s only touchdown to lead No. 10 Washington to a 10-3 victory over No. 17 Utah in the Pac-12 championship game and a berth in the Rose Bowl. “You know, life isn’t easy. A Pac-12 championship, is not going to be easy,” coach Chris Petersen said. “It’s not reality. If it happens, go buy lottery tickets because it’s not going to be like that. That’s just luck. It is a grind, it’s hard.” The matchup between the two stingiest defenses in the conference lived up to the billing with Washington holding Utah to 188 yards and both offenses limited to just one field goal apiece all game. Utah’s Jason Shelley’s pass hit Siaosi Mariner in the hands inside the Washington 35. But Mariner couldn’t hold onto the pass and it ricocheted off his leg and into the hands of Murphy, who raced 66 yards for the score that made it 10-3. “The ball came up and I just knew I had to make a play,” Murphy said. “The opportunity was there. I just had to make sure I took it.” Jordan Miller intercepted another pass from Shelley on the following drive and Murphy got his second interception of the game the next time Utah had the ball. The Huskies sealed the victory with a fourth-down stop in the final minute to earn a trip to Pasadena. “They play the kind of game we want to play,” linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven said. “They play a physical brand of football. They want to run the ball down our throats and I think we’re built to play that kind of game.” 2018 PAC-12 HONORS Offensive Player of the Year: Gardner Minshew II, QB, Washington State Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year: Ben Burr-Kirven, LB, Washington Freshman Offensive Player of the Year: Jermar Jefferson, RB, Oregon State Freshman Defensive Player of the Year: Merlin Robertson, LB, Arizona State Scholar-Athlete of the Year: Ben Burr-Kirven, LB, Washington Coach of the Year: Mike Leach, Washington State Morris Trophy: Kaleb McGary (OT), Washington and Greg Gaines (DL), Washington 2018 NATIONAL HONORS Lombardi Award (top player based on performance and leadership): Ugochukwu Amadi, S, Oregon AFCA Coach of the Year: Mike Leach, Washington State 2 2019 PAC-12 FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS 2019 PAC-12 NOTEBOOK THE RETURNEES: A total of 177 starters, who started at least half of his team’s games or a majority of games at a specific position, return to Pac-12 football squads in 2019.
