Washington dominates Rutgers with dominant second-half performance
Washington defeated Rutgers 38-19 in Week 7 action, with the Huskies pulling away decisively in the second half. Rutgers struck first, scoring 10 points in the opening quarter, but Washington responded with 10 unanswered points in the second quarter before exploding for 21 points in the third to take control.
Demond Williams Jr. led Washington's offense with 402 passing yards, while Denzel Boston hauled in 98 receiving yards. Rutgers' Antwan Raymond paced the visiting offense with 89 rushing yards, including an early 51-yard run that set up scoring opportunities.
The game featured several momentum-shifting plays, including a crucial Rutgers fumble recovery in the second quarter when Washington's Williams lost the ball near the goal line. However, Washington's defense ultimately proved too much, highlighted by an interception return for a touchback by Ephesians Prysock in the fourth quarter that sealed the outcome.
The victory saw Washington cover the 9.5-point spread, while the final total of 57 points fell under the 62-point over-under line.
