Huskies keep Apple Cup with 31-13 romp of Cougars

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Early in the fourth quarter any doubt whether Washington would retain the Apple Cup was gone. The question was if Mike Leach was about to be shut out for the first time in his coaching career. That's how dominant the Huskies were, turning a chilly night on the Palouse into an impressive 31-13 romp over Washington State to cap Chris Petersen's first regular season at Washington with his 100th career victory. Dwayne Washington rushed for 135 yards and touchdown runs of 51 and 60 yards for the Huskies, his third straight game reaching the 100-yard mark. But his big game was secondary to the performance by the Huskies defense. "The mindset and energy, they were all together," Petersen said.
