CORVALLIS, Ore. — More often than not, the Huskies have struggled to close out games in the fourth quarter. In five of their six losses this season, they had chances to either tie or take the lead late.
They missed a field goal in the final 15 seconds in a 16-13 loss at Boise State. They had two fourth-quarter turnovers in a 30-24 loss to California. They threw an interception in the final minute in a 26-20 loss to Oregon. They lost a fumble late against Utah. And they had four turnovers in the final six minutes of last week’s collapse at Arizona State.
