Like most people expected, it was a battle.
Auburn outgained Washington 420-398. The two teams combined for 22 penalties. But the Huskies turned it over twice and that played a big part in the Auburn victory.

QB Jarrett Stidham: The Auburn quarterback completed 26-of-36 passes (15 of 19 in the first half) for 273 yards and a touchdown. The TD pass was a thread-the-needle toss to Sal Cannella in the first half that gave the Tigers an early 6-0 lead. He was efficient and, outside of not getting the ball pas the line of scrimmage while trying to throw it away and getting penalized, made good decisions all afternoon.
