SEATTLE (AP) — Jonah Coleman ran for 104 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Washington held off a furious second-half rally by USC for a 26-21 victory Saturday night that snapped a two-game losing streak.

Will Rogers threw for 262 yards for the Huskies against their former Pac-12 foes before realignment dismantled the conference. The victory extended Washington's 19-game winning streak at home.

The Trojans (4-5, 2-4 Big Ten) got to Washington's 1-yard line in the fourth quarter with a chance to pull in front but the Huskies stopped Trojan running back Woody Marks on fourth down and took over with 5:04 left in the game.
