Maybe Dante Pettis had his arm pinned by a Montana defender, which prevented the Washington Huskies’ receiver from going up and snaring a pass across the middle.
But Jake Browning’s throw into tight coverage sailed high before the ball was tipped, intercepted by strong safety Josh Sandry and returned 35 yards for a touchdown.
“They had pretty good coverage on Dante,” Huskies coach Chris Petersen said. “And anytime you get a tipped ball, something bad is usually going to happen for the offense.”
The miscue knotted the score at 7-7 with 4:56 left in the first quarter and delayed No.
