PASADENA, Calif. — On the first possession of the second half of the Apple Cup, in a driving snowstorm in Pullman, the Huskies faced third-and-16 from their 19-yard line.
Jake Browning had ample time to throw and found tight end Hunter Bryant open on a left-to-right crossing route, and Bryant ran up the right sideline for a 59-yard gain. On the next play, Bryant scored on a 22-yard reception from wide receiver Aaron Fuller a trick-play double pass,
The two-play sequence helped propel the Huskies to a 28-15 victory over No. 8 Washington State, and into the Pac-12 championship game the next week, and showcased the kind of big-play ability the UW offense had been missing for most of the year without Bryant.
