The No. 24 Washington Huskies upset the No. 6 Oregon Ducks on Saturday. The Huskies won 37-34 at Auzten Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.
This is a damaging blow for the Ducks. Before the contest, the team was considered a potential contender to appear in the College Football Playoff.
However, with this loss, it is highly unlikely to happen now. No two-loss team has appeared in the College Football Playoff.
With the win, the Huskies improved to 8-2. Washington has now won four in a row.
The loss dropped the Ducks to 8-2. Oregon had their seven game win streak snapped.
This was their first loss since Labor Day weekend when the Ducks were defeated by the Georgia Bulldogs in their season-opener.
Huskies quarterback Michael Penix has gone 26 of 35 for 408 yards. He also had two touchdown passes and one interception.
This was the second time on the season that the former Indiana quarterback surpassed 400 passing yards in a game. He had a season-high 511 yards against the Arizona Wildcats on October 15th.
Wayne Taulapapa had 10 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown. Jalen McMillan had eight catches for 122 yards.
Ducks quarterback Bo Nix went 19 of 27 for 280 yards. He had two touchdown passes.
