SEATTLE (AP) Thanks to its most dominant conference win in two seasons, a bowl game is again very much a possibility for Washington.
The Huskies' 49-3 romp over Arizona last Saturday changed the perspective for the final four weeks of the season. Instead of needing to pull off at least one unexpected victory, a split by the Huskies (4-4, 2-3 Pac-12) in their final four games will get them to 6-6 and likely a bowl game for the sixth straight year.
Understanding the difference between being 4-4 and 3-5 going into the final month was behind coach Chris Petersen's message of urgency last week.
