SEATTLE — Jonah Coleman ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns and Washington held off a furious second-half surge from USC to secure a 26-21 victory Saturday night, ending a two-game losing streak.

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

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

Washington (5-4, 3-3) suffered a punt on its final drive, and USC quarterback Miller Moss led the Trojans to the Husky 14. On third and fourth downs, Moss' attempt to hit Kyron Hudson was blocked by Ephesians Prysock. Moss' last chance on fourth down went unfulfilled.

The Trojans (4-5, 2-4) are struggling in their first Big Ten season with a fourth loss in five games. Moss threw for 293 yards and two scores but was hurt by three interceptions and now has nine this season.

The win moved the Huskies one win closer to bowl eligibility with road games against No. 3 Penn State and No. 1 Oregon still on the schedule.

On the Trojans' second series, Moss' pass to Kyle Ford ended up in the hands of Carson Bruener, who intercepted it. Grady Gross' 39-yard field goal capped Washington's push.

Coleman, the Huskies' leading rusher, ran for a 19-yard touchdown before the end of the first quarter. It was his best sixth touchdown of the season.

Zachariah Branch caught a 25-yard pass from Moss that was originally ruled a fumble. Video review showed Branch was on the ground, giving USC a much-needed first down in Washington territory. Moss also hit Hudson with a 19-yard pass on the drive that ended with a 1-yard TD dash from Woody Marks, cutting the deficit to 10-7.

The Huskies responded with Coleman's 15-yard scoring run to extend the lead once again.

Gross' 45-yard field goal in pouring rain gave Washington a 20-7 halftime lead.

USC rallied in the second half. Moss clenched his fist as Makai Lemon caught his pass and sprinted into the end zone for a 37-yard touchdown that closed the gap in the third quarter. Moss gave the Trojans a 21-20 lead with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Ford.

But Washington took advantage after Moss was intercepted again by Bruener. Aided by an unsportsmanlike conduct call on USC, the Huskies retook the lead early in the final quarter on Keith Reynolds' 4-yard scoring run – but the 2-point conversion failed.
