Recap

In a high-scoring battle at Autzen Stadium, Washington claimed the College Football Belt with a 37-34 victory over Oregon in a back-and-forth affair that saw both offenses consistently find the end zone. The Ducks struck first with Wayne Taulapapa's 13-yard touchdown run in the opening minutes, but Oregon answered with Bo Nix's 10-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter to take the lead. The third quarter became a shootout, with both teams trading touchdowns as Michael Penix Jr. led Washington's aerial assault—including a massive 76-yard scoring strike to Ja'Lynn Polk—while Nix countered with a 46-yard touchdown pass to Dont'e Thornton and a 67-yard bomb to Troy Franklin. In the decisive fourth quarter, Washington's Penix connected with Taj Davis for a 62-yard touchdown, and Peyton Henry's final 43-yard field goal with 51 seconds remaining proved to be the difference-maker in securing the belt for the Huskies.

Michael Penix Jr.'s 76-yard TD pass to Ja'Lynn Polk in Q3 gave Washington momentum in the scoring exchange
Taj Davis' 62-yard touchdown reception in Q4 put Washington ahead with just over three minutes remaining
Peyton Henry's 43-yard field goal with 0:51 remaining sealed Washington's belt-winning victory
Bo Nix's 67-yard TD pass to Troy Franklin in Q3 kept Oregon in the game but proved not quite enough
