DALLAS (AP) — Myles Gaskin broke a third-quarter tie with an 86-yard run and finished with a season-high 181 yards and four touchdowns to help Washington beat Southern Mississippi 44-31 on Saturday in the Heart of Dallas Bowl.
The Huskies (7-6) won their last two regular-season games by a combined 97-17 over Oregon State and Washington State to become bowl eligible and then delivered Chris Petersen's first postseason victory in his two seasons at Washington.
Gaskin's other scores came on 2- and 1-yard runs in the first quarter and a 13-yarder in the fourth.
