Jake Browning knew what was coming before the fourth-down snap.
He didn’t know what that celebration was about after the play.
Instead of settling for a long field-goal attempt, the Huskies decided to go for it on fourth-and-five midway through the fourth quarter. Browning had a feeling Colorado would bring a Cover Zero blitz. The Buffaloes did exactly that, and one linebacker was completely unblocked in his pursuit of the quarterback.
But before the linebacker could deliver a hit on Browning, the Huskies’ senior QB delivered a pass in stride to Aaron Fuller on a slant route.
