Nearly three quarters into their win over North Dakota last week in Seattle, the Washington Huskies held a two-touchdown lead, with their starters approaching the goal-line again.
Cade Otton, a redshirt freshman tight end out of Tumwater High School, started a play from the 1-yard line in motion, and seemingly settled behind the left tackle before cutting back abruptly to the right sideline when the ball was snapped.
Quarterback Jake Browning faked a pitch to Myles Gaskin, rolled to his right under pressure and tossed a short pass to Otton in the flat.
“The ball was in the air for a long time — eyes wide open — but I caught it, and turned the corner as quick as I could and saw the end zone right there,” Otton said.
