For the second week in a row, nasty weather was promised at Husky Stadium. This time, the forecast was accurate, with steady rain falling most of the day all the way to kickoff.
I’m not sure what was sloppier, the weather or the play on the field. Utah and Washington combined for seven turnovers, with the younger and less-experienced Huskies coughing the ball up four times and making several other mistakes. They couldn’t overcome their errors or the Utes, falling 34-23. Some photos from the game can be seen below. You can see a few additional images in the archive.
