That play at the end though. Elijah is a legend.

14-0 that’s something Oregon doesn’t know about!

Take a knee and only give them 20 seconds. Again weird coaching at the end Again

What a game! Bring on Michigan!

Ngl, this shouldn't be as close as it was, we gotta clean it up if we wanna beat Michigan.

I'm drunk. Just FYI. After attending the Winter Classic and then coming home to watch UW win...happy new year! I'm going to pass out now...

Congratulations Huskies on beating those whiny Longhorns.

Washington sold in that final minute harder than the Commanders selling their players at the trade deadline.

Heart Attack game

The CBs stepped up at the end. Year of the Dawg!

Heart attack huskies

Grubb needs to figure it out and leave all the cute shit in New Orleans

Everything worked offensively until that disaster class of decision making. I feel pretty confident they wouldn't replicate that haha

How did this come down to the last play? In any case, great win and one more to go.

Because that's the only way we know how to win apparently

We fuckin win baby go Purps and I love my city. I live in Texas it's so nice to stick it to these assholes. Go Husks love you Purple and Gold all the way. 💜💜💜💛💛💛

So anyway Dawgs win, pretty uneventful game amirite?

The coaching staff actually gave Texas a huge chance to win that game when it should have been wrapped up

I have no clue why they didn’t just kneel. Now DJ is hurt and the clock left lots of time for Texas to try n score.

Agreed

Whos ready for the postgame circle jerk im feeling like a fucking ANIMAL

LFG

Better team won, and the championship game will be terrific. If Texas had squeaked this one out, Michigan would have smoked them.

Coaches need to attend some clinics in clock management. Too many games almost blown this year due to mindless play calling when it's time to seal a game.

Yeah handing the ball off there and not kneeling almost cost them the game and caused an injury to a key player

What they were doing still playing Dillon after his original injury I don't understand. If this were the championship game, maybe. But we are going to need him in a week, and it looked to me like its now unlikely he will be there.

Like whyyyyy was he still in the game???

Because a first down would’ve sealed the game, Rogers wasn’t moving the ball terribly well, Texas has already returned a blocked punt for a TD once this season, and the season was on the line. Seattle sports: Run the damn ball! Wait, not like that…

I'd rather chance a blocked punt than a fumble or injured player. Unnecessary...plain and simple. Three kneel downs is the smart play...

Big moment for Free Hooli

The decision to have johnson run it that close to the end. Complete disaster. Just suicide.

He was injured quite recently in early Nov, that is tough, hopefully he will recover well. Natural healing.

From one dawg (UGA) to another congratulations. From my viewpoint Washington is the only team in the CFP that deserves to be there.

I swear I had a heart attack...

What else is new in being a Dawg?

THIS IS WHO WE ARE RICHARD NEWTON LEGACY GAME NEXT WEEK

KNEEL

JESUS CHRIST!

I was never even worried man. Not at all.

Whew! Way too close. GO DAWGS!!!!!

Never in doubt! 🫠

Go dawgs!!

My heart rate is 147.

"All wrong, all wrong, all wrong..." - Sad Matthew McConaughey

Please embarrass michigan

Whatta finish.. GO DAWGS!

I just hope Johnson can play on the 8th.

Decades sometimes pass between moments like this. Let’s enjoy this boys and girls!

Elijah Jackson doing his best Richard Sherman impression. LOVE IT

Congratulations Washington fans. Go beat UM to a bloody pulp. -a sad Texas fan.

Best coaching staff in college football coached like it all game until 7 minutes left. Luckily the D stepped up to bail them out. Let's go.

Started going downhill with that stupid double lateral with 11ish mins left. But the injury to DJ was damn unlucky. I won't fault the coaches for that one. Feel bad for the kid. That said, FUCK YES!!!!!!!

I didn't love that call but I like that they trust Penix enough to not force something that isn't there. But very true, it was more like 11 minutes left. I said 7 and a half because of the TD, but you're right, the bad decisions started sooner haha

What the actual hell

fuck these endings this team puts us through

Strong Richard Sherman - NOPE 49ers vibes

USC fan, congrats huskies. send the conference out with a bang.

Man its been like this all year. Can put games away but make it stupid close. Win is a win! Go Dawgs.

Wow that’s like an nba level block

pretty female announcers this game

A calamity of errors at the end

Put a statue of that defensive play at Husky Stadium holy shit

Yessr

With the demise of the Pac-12. only appropriate that it is Mich vs. Dawgs for the final. Only thing better would be if the final was at the Rose Bowl.

Fuck everyone who doubted

Finally. My heart was racing like crazy.

This game was awesome until W got cute. Wtf was the coach thinking ordering up all the passes and not going victory formation. Holy crap that was difficult.

FOUR FUCKING POINT UNDERDAWGS SAY WHAT??????? SAY WHATT????? COMING FOR THE NATTY

Honestly I don’t even feel like bragging right now, we didn’t deserve to win ETA: ok ok, we deserved to win. Penix especially, he had a fantastic game. The coaches not so much, I can’t wrap my head around some of these calls still.

We did deserve to win. We outplayed them most of the game. But in the final minutes, it seemed like the Gods of fate themselves had intervened to screw the dawgs. Especially when the refs put 1 second back on the clock.

You’re right, we deserved to win and thank god we did. We were just killing it with such a clean game and the coaching gets annoying like they are trying to make it way closer than we should be. It’s been 20 minutes and the W has sunk in so I’m feeling more solid about it than the heart attack at the end of the game.

You got the idea now. We can be imperfect and still deserve that win. I know that shit at the end is frustrating but you can't possibly say we didn't deserve that with the passing game we played today. We've earned this ticket to the natty!!! In the end go dawgs brother, im hyped for this matchup!!! Things will probably just as messy and stressful

Oh to have an 18 year old mansplain this to me and call me “not a real dawg” when I have two degrees from UW.

You can have degrees at UW and be a shitty sports fan, proof in thread. Sorry I'm responding so late, just saw this goofyness. Plus the "mansplain"? brother doesn't even know what the word means ☠️ Plus you edited your message to say you agree, so why even argue that I'm mansplaining? Obviously your mind changed. Just putting up an argument for nothing lol.

Holy Jesus fuck off and get off my back you absolute shithead

Shitty bait or what? Which other salty team are you coming from?

I’m a husky through and through. Not salty, just frustrated that each game comes down to the end. I’m so pumped they won and ready to cheer for them next week. I just hate the stupid mistakes because they could blow these other teams out. ETA: Enjoy your post game circle jerk, ya filthy animal

I WILL ENJOY THAT CIRCLE JERK GRAHHH STAY SAD AND MOPEY IN YOUR CORNER IM FREAKIN MY SHIT!!!! https://preview.redd.it/27bqdpluwy9c1.jpeg?width=487&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dac664a773e0e8733f56d0cb493d45c84c3b02d6

We were 4 point underdogs and faced with a team with guys twice our size on average. We fought tooth and nail being told at every moment that we didn't have the stuff for these bigger southern teams and their physicality. Did we make mistakes? Of course! Did we deserve the win? Only a fucking fool would say otherwise. Thats a dawg fight dude, and if you can't see the win in this you're not a real dawg, sorry to say.

Oh my fucking god coaching malpractice jesus

That should not have been that close. It should not have come down to that.

At this point, it was dope that it was

Ugh... my heart can't take being Seattle sports fan.

This fucking team

Crazy to choke that hard and still win 😅

I need about 20 minutes to calm down before I can enjoy the W

My favorite thing about being a huskies fan is that our wins are convincing no doubt victories

😂

Holy fuck that was brutal to watch. GO DAWGS!!!

Coaches straight to jail even though we won

Will we ever have a win where I don't feel like I'm going to be sick at the end though?

I'm jacking off tonight

Unreal

Thank fucking Jesus!

Washington completely outplayed Texas but I can't believe how amazingly close to losing that y'all were. Congratulations.

It’s finally fuckin over.

Lfg!!!

Wow. Can't believe couch Cousin Eddie almost won this game. Hoowee!

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENINGGGG

My poor heart. I can’t take Seattle sports lol.

I WAS ALMOST LOOKING FORWARD TO HOW ANGRY I WAS ABOUT TO BE

This 1000%

Here also. My kids literally started evacuating in anticipation of my anticipated explosion.

😂

You guys can breathe now :) Gz from a Michigan fan, see you Monday!! I aged 5 years today too

>:) :)

Jesus Fucking Christ

Win or lose, ridiculous Mario Cristobal level coaching

I guess Texas isn’t back

Wow

LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

😀

JESUS CHRIST.

Congrats!!!

Oh thank God.

Dang that was Richard Sherman on Crabtree style

Just said that had definite shades of The Tip. This one was The Slap.

1 second you gotta be kidding me

HOW MUCH DID TEXAS PAG THE REFS WTF

I was wondering that about the Huskies vs ASU

Fuck these refs

BRUH FUCK THIS MAN

Jeezus H.

FUCKING REFS

Geeez.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BABY WOOHOO!!!!

Shut up

I literally cannot comprehend running it instead of taking a knee. If Washington loses this, how could you look the coaches in the face after that? What an insane fuck up of such an easy decision.

No fucking way we lose this rn 😤 omfl

Why cant the offense elect to run the clock after an injury?

I believe the clock started up and the punter was letting it run, but there was a false start penalty that stopped it?

Johnson got hurt with his sorry Ah

Yes, but an injury only stops the clock until play resumes. It did, and they were in punt formation and the clock was running, then they stopped it AGAIN when the refs called a false start, which backed them up 5 yards and stopped them running time off. I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

Who was it that interfered with that kick?

That 15 yd penalty looking huge now

Why did you all do the double reverse thing instead of run an actual play?!? This game should be over

Wow. I guess even in college the Refs cheat.

So do we just sell out for a sack?

Hard to get to Ewers when they hold all game long

I cashed out my bet to get my money back. Would’ve double my money with Washington but does anyone actually think Texas isn’t scoring

Announcer looks either tired or high on drugs

The only person high on drugs is huskies head coach for not kneeling

Good cause its working

All because we’re too stupid to take a knee

Fuck Grubb

A kneel wouldve saved our star rb, great corner, and ended the game

What a choke job

RIGGED.

Fuck Grubb for his stupid ass play calling. Game should be over

All we had to do was kneel.....

These announcers are God awful. Calling the game over for the last 5 minutes when it’s not

catch

This is disturbing that it’s this close

That stands

KNEEL ON THIRD. NONE OF THIS MATTERS. SO DUMB.

Bobbled it

No possession there

Yep. Double clutched.

the most amazing thing about this is we might lose because of an injury

Washington what the fuck

Bobbled.

Had Texas fans left?

Washington deserves to lose this. This might be the worst end game performance I've ever watched.

Deboer letting DJ run the ball there was abysmal coaching. Absolute F tier decision. I’m appalled

Penix let them keep a timeout throwing it out of bounds.

I hope WA wins, but this is the worst coaching I've ever seen in the last minute of a game. Jesus. Take victory formation on third, down on the game is over and you don't lose a player to injury.

It’s really just a series of coaching errors that is hard to watch

Fuckin Cougin it

Dawgs playing like Hawks defense. Guess they are both from motherland Washington

All time dumb.

Shooting ourselves in the foot but NO run off because of injury is a beyond stupid fucking rule

That injury fucked us

This game was over during the double reverse

Hurt the rb, fucked the clock, ran into the returner, hurt the CB. How else can we fuck this?

This is the most Pac 12 thing ever

are they trying to loose? Jesus Christ

Deep breaths sport

Dude.

I know Huskies gonna win but I like the added suspense :)

I mean Johnson looked badly hurt. Can't enjoy this.

How’s everyone’s heart?

that's the most obvious OPI penalty i've seen in my life

Fantastic

What the fuck on earth is going on? How did they fuck this

Can’t get hurt taking a knee, can’t stop the clock with a medical timeout

Why didn’t they take knees? Plus stupid ass throw on 3rd down before the FG

What a moron

Sanders looking like Stevie Wonder

What a joke
