The record by a UW defense was 42 against Montana in 1951. • The Huskies allowed -40 yards rushing, the third fewest ever by an opponent. The Huskies held Pacific to - 50 in 1981 and BYU to -45 in 1986. • Washington has started 6-0 for the 10th time over the last 100 years. It is the second-consecutive season UW has been perfect after six games, a feat they accomplished last in 1991 and 1992. • Jake Browning found Hunter Bryant for an 11-yard TD pass in the first quarter. It was Bryant’s first career touchdown and the 72nd of Browning’s career. He moves into a tie with Carson Palmer (USC, 1998-2002) for 20th all-time in Pac-12 history. He later threw for his 73rd career TD to take sole possession of 20th all-time in Pac-12 history. Next up at No. 19: Steve Stenstrom, Stanford, 1991-94. • Browning entered today’s game needing four yards passing to move into 3rd on UW’s career list ahead of Jake Locker (7,639). He hit Will Dissly for five yards on his first pass to do so. He now has 7,851 yards through the air. Up next at No. 2: Keith Price, 8,919 from 2010-13. • Browning scored from 21 yards out on 4th and 1 in the second quarter. It was his third rushing TD of 2017 and the eighth of his UW career. • Myles Gaskin rushed into the end zone from 8 yards out in the second quarter for his 31st career rushing TD and take sole possession of fourth on UW’s list for rush TDs. He later scored his 32nd career TD to tie Joe Steele for third all-time in UW history. • Gaskin also passed Joe Steele (3,168 yards) for fourth most rushing yards all-time in UW history.
