Huskies start on their own 10, down by 7 following a kick off return for a touchdown by Williams-Rhodes. Price lines up in the gun, bobbles a high snap and hand off on a fly sweep that is blown up by Lawrence. Lawrence forces and recovers a fumble, then rumbles two yards for a touchdown. BSU 14, UW 0 with 14:30 to go in the first. Fleenor tweets he predicted this in an in depth discussion he had with his BFF Beebe.

Sark stays calm and remains the epitome of grace under pressure appearing pale, gaunt and with black rings around his eyes from lack of sleep, breaks down, shaking and crying. Knowing that BSU is undersized and young up front on defense, Sark suddenly recognizes that they are running the vaunted zone read spread option offense. His defense has little chance of avoiding an epic plunger. He decides to up the pace of his newfangled up-tempo offense. After 10 successive three and outs, Wilcox barks at Sark "Sack up you pussy. Quit your damn crying. There is NO crying in football. AND if you run one more up tempo series, you're gone. There will be no warning".

Sark ignores the advice of his DC. Another three and out. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a right cross followed by a vicious left uppercut. Sark is transported back in time. He's in Husky Stadium, picking his sorrow ass up off the carpet. Purple Jerseys surround him. He knows not what hit him. In a daze, he picks up a football and huddles the offense. Curiously he notices his team mates are not wearing the blue and white of BYU. No matter. He will run the offense. He has his Cougars on track for an unbeaten season, they just have to weather the purple assault ..... he then hears someone yell "coach!" He looks around and is stunned, LaVell Edwards is nowhere to be found. Sark's trainers give him oxygen. Wilcox removes the mask and instructs the trainers to wheel Sark off the field and into the locker room where he can rest peacefully and allow the remaining coaches to rally the troops.

Meanwhile, the BSU offense finds its stride. The Huskies three and outs have allowed BSU to score like they're playing a pinball machine. They run up the score. Its 65-0 at halftime, but the Huskies have improved their chances. The coaching staff suddenly improved (addition by subtraction), views the second half as an opportunity for redemption. They come out on fire, and hold BSU to a mere three touchdowns in the second half. Late in the fourth, Price connects with Ross for the first first down of the game. They then score on an inside zone read executed brilliantly by Price and Sankey. Final score 86-7 BSU, AND another second half moral victory for the Huskies. begins to pound away with the ground game. As the first quarter transitions into the second, the Husky offense marches downfield in chunks of 4-5 yards a pop. They soon tie the game, then take the lead, and when the game ends, Washington has christened its news stadium with a 38-17 win, led by Bishop Sankey's 256 yards rushing on 42 carries.
