Play of the Game

UW tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins made a diving catch of a well-thrown ball by Keith Price for a 17-yard gain to give UW a first down at the Colorado 22 midway through the first quarter. Kevin Smith scored on a 22-yard reverse on the next play, and the Huskies had the lead for good.
