UW Pulls Away In 4th Quarter To Beat No. 10 Michigan 27-17
October 05, 2024 | Football
SEATTLE (AP) -- Will Rogers threw for 271 yards and a pair of first-half touchdowns, Jonah Coleman's 1-yard TD with 6:22 left gave Washington the lead, and the Huskies beat No. 10 Michigan 27-17 on Saturday night in a rematch of last season's College Football Playoff championship game.
Β
The Huskies (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) used an offensive outburst in the first half and two key turnovers in the fourth quarter to take down the Wolverines in front of a sold-out crowd of 72,132 at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium.
Β
The loss snapped Michigan's 24-game Big Ten regular season win streak.
Β
Rogers threw touchdowns of 3 yards to Denzel Boston and 16 yards to Giles Jackson as the Huskies built a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. That lead evaporated as Michigan (4-2, 2-1) finally found some offensive rhythm going to backup quarterback Jack Tuttle after Alex Orji was ineffective early in the game.
Β
But the Washington defense forced key Michigan turnovers and turned them into points.
Β
Voi Tunuufi forced a Tuttle fumbleΒ with 8:02 left and Logan Sagapolu recovered at the Michigan 32. Coleman rumbled 27 yards on the first play and three plays later scored from the 1 to give Washington a 24-17 lead.
Β
On Michigan's next possession, Tuttle was intercepted by Kamren Fabiculanan with 3:24 remaining, one of the few returnees for Washington from the team that lost in January. The Huskies got a key pass interference call against Michigan and Grady Gross hit a 32-yard field goal with 1:06 left to put the final touches on the victory.

Rogers finished 21 of 31 passing and threw his first interception in more than a calendar year early in the fourth quarter. Rogers had gone 269 consecutive pass attempts without a pick before being intercepted by Ernest Hausman.
Β
Coleman added 80 yards rushing.
Β
The Wolverines were going nowhere with Orji at quarterback and were being outgained 163-47 midway through the second quarter when Tuttle took over. He finished just 10 of 18 passing for 98 yards.
Β
The Huskies travel to Iowa next weekend before their first bye of the season.
