The last play of Washington’s regular season may have been the biggest.
With five seconds left in a tied game between the Huskies and Washington State Saturday, Washington kicker Grady Gross strode onto the Husky Stadium field and calmly knocked through a 42-yard field goal to win the Apple Cup 24–21.
The boot sealed a 12–0 start for the Huskies, equaling a program record for wins in a season set in 1991 and tied in 2016. It was a kick worthy of reward—and Gross received the best kind of acclaim as Washington celebrated in the locker room postgame.

College football fans attending the latest edition of Farmageddon between Kansas State and Iowa State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Saturday night are being treated to blizzard conditions.
The snow has been falling all day in Manhattan, Kans., and the forecast is calling for it to continue well into the second half of the game.

No. 8 Alabama and Auburn met on Saturday in another thrilling edition of the Iron Bowl.
Before the game’s dramatic ending, a closely scrutinized play on the sideline left fans baffled, as the referees appeared to review the play only to come out with the wrong result.
The play in question came with the Crimson Tide facing third-and-10 in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Jalen Milroe connected with receiver Jermaine Burton on the sideline, and Burton slammed a foot down in an effort to stay in bounds.
No. 4 Washington survived unranked Washington State’s upset bid in the Apple Cup by a final score of 24–21, but the Huskies can credit their narrow victory to an unbelievable fourth down play call on the final drive.
With the game tied 21-21 with just over a minute to play, the Huskies were faced with fourth-and-1 from their own 29-yard line. Instead of punting, Washington brought its offense out onto the field.
Frustrations reportedly reached a tipping point last weekend for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it sounds like things got a little testy in the team’s locker room.
The Steelers fell to the Cleveland Browns 13-10 last weekend and face another divisional opponent this week in the Cincinnati Bengals. Plus, there was the seemingly inevitable canning of offensive coordinator Matt Canada.
All of this comes as their postseason future is becoming increasingly murky. So, yeah, there’s plenty to get frustrated about, and it sounds like Steelers wideout Diontae Johnson did just that.
We have seen some bad calls in college football, but ACC officials might take the cake for their work in the Florida vs. Florida State game. In the aftermath, Mike Norvell was visibly furious on the sidelines.
Unfortunately, college football has gone backwards when it comes to officiating, with referees quick to throw the yellow flag on what feels like every other play. On Saturday night in Gainesville, this was put on full display as Florida State was hosed on a horrendous call.
Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. knew what everyone in Husky Stadium and millions of television viewers were in the process of finding out: the outcome of the Apple Cup was out of his hands.
With five seconds left and his team tied 21-21 with Washington State, Huskies kicker Grady Gross jogged onto the field to attempt a 42-yard field goal. Penix had just polished off a solid performance in which he completed 18 of his 33 passes for 204 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
Isaiah Bond caught a desperation heave in the left corner of the end zone with 32 seconds left to give the Alabama Crimson Tide a 10th straight win over the Auburn Tigers in the latest dramatic Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday night.
Alabama coach Nick Saban dissed the notion that weird things happen when Alabama plays at Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium last week on his radio show.
Now, he’s a believer for life.
Facing a 4th-and-goal from Auburn’s 31-yard line, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe found wide receiver Isaiah Bond in the left corner of the end zone and hit him for a touchdown with 32 seconds to play for a 27-24 win at Auburn’s Jordan-Hare.
