Utah’s football game Saturday afternoon in Seattle may become a reward for alumni Christian Drews, Chase Dominguez and Mitch Wishnowsky, who believe they were illegally blocked during Washington’s punt return for a go-ahead touchdown in 2016.
It might be redeeming for Ute coach Kyle Whittingham, whose timeout enabled the Huskies to drive for the winning field goal in 2017.
A victory would make Ute defensive lineman Pita Tonga and former tight end Connor Haller feel better about the would-be touchdowns they failed to complete last season. Same story with Sioasi Mariner, now playing for Utah State, whose misplayed pass resulted in an interception the Huskies returned for the only touchdown in last November’s Pac-12 championship game.
