SEATTLE (AP)Jonah Coleman ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns, and Washington held off a furious second-half charge from USC to secure a 26-21 victory Saturday night at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium.

Will Rogers threw for 262 yards for the Huskies against their former Pac-12 opponents. 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) was forced to 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 deflected Ephesians Prysock. The Husky defense put pressure on Moss and his last chance on fourth down failed.

The Huskies intercepted Moss three times in the game, twice through Carson Bruener.

The victory moved the Huskies one win closer to bowl eligibility with three games remaining on the schedule – a Nov. 15 home game against UCLA and road games against No. 3 Penn State and No. 1 Oregon.

On the Trojans' second series, Moss' pass to Kyle Ford ended up in the hands of Carson Bruener for interception. Grady Gross' A 39-yard field goal capped Washington's drive.

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.

Woody Marks' 1-yard TD dash closed 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. Makai Lemon caught a 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 regained the lead early in the final quarter Keith Reynolds' 4-yard scoring run, his first career touchdown.


The Huskies visit No. 3 Penn State next Saturday. The announced kickoff time is 5:00 p.m. PT.
