Washington quarterback Jake Browning scrambled, buying himself some time. And then he saw him: Hunter Bryant, open over the middle. The sophomore tight end — playing in just his third game of the season— caught the short pass, turned and slipped through a hole between defenders.
And then he was off. He cut across to the sideline, racing toward the end zone before Washington State’s Jalen Thompson brought him down at the Cougars’ 22-yard line.
A play later, the Huskies pulled out the trick plays: a double pass from Jake Browning to Aaron Fuller to Bryant. Touchdown, and a 20-9 Washington lead early in the third quarter.
