held his own tonight. played pretty well, but the back shoulder fade, such a difficult thing to defend, and penix and his main target close this one out. >> chris: one of the trademark celebrations, wasn't a touchdown but a huge completion on third down. their third first down of the half. that's it. and without the ability to stop the clock, that's going to do it. washington state is going to come into a hostile environment on a rainy night and extend the winning streak to 18 and head to the apple cup in seattle with a chance to close out a perfect regular season. they've booked their spot in las vegas winning tonight for the conference championship game. >> kirk: think of what they've been through, usc, had a lot of firepower, a different confident

sc team at the coliseum, physical utah team, on the run against oregon state, their best shot, a rivalry game next week. they earned every aspect to be sitting 11-0. >> chris: say it wasn't a big night, but we said, step up, make a clutch throw, it was a long throw, beautifully placed to odunze to seal it. >> kirk: and vintage kalen deboer and his offensive coordinator ryan grubb they show the confidence in penix and odunze. they are out of time-outs. if it's incomplete, oregon state gets it back. instead, completion, first down, game over. >> chris: lot of respect between two coaches who put their ego in the background and players and programs out front. we'll see who the opponent is. will it be a rematch with oregon? they take a big step here.

oregon state takes a second conference loss. deboer and the huskies will be trying to finish business in the apple cup at home against a struggling wazzu team. holly. >> holly: coach, this was a challenging night in a place that's hard to win, how did your team find a way? >> just everyone playing. keep playing the next play. defense on the field a lot in the second half, and got off when they needed to. and what a play down at the end with penix to rome. >> holly: michael penix and rome odunze have been terrific all season long, but that play in that moment to ice this game, what was your thinking as you saw the catch come in? >> that's our go-to guys, let them work. there's other options but they've done it before, will do it again. >> holly: the defensive front, they stopped the drive from oregon state. what do you see from the defense? lot of guys injured and down but

find a way. >> i'm super proud. got them behind the chains and knew we'd have the advantage. proud of the way the guys keep fighting, rotate, next guy up mentality, let's find a way. >> holly: 18 in a row is hard to do, why does it happen to your team? what's special? >> a lot of guys have put a lot into this program, major investments, they're not going to go down lightly but keep fighting and playing. they believe in each other, do it for each other. >> holly: thanks coach. >> thank you. >> chris: they had opportunities to put it away. washington held scoreless in the second half, 6:30 minutes they had the football, but you trust your best players in the biggest moment and that delivered the clinching first down. >> kirk: i love when you get tested. want to keep your magical season alive, you have to make plays down the stretch and get out

with a win on the road. they did it. >> chris: want to hear from michael penix? >> kirk: love to. >> holly: this is a game of overcoming challenges. tell me how hard it was in the first half with the rain pouring down. >> wasn't hard but the weather did play a little bit of a factor. but we found a way to win. that's what it's all about. finding ways to win, continuing to push and trusting and believing in each other. >> holly: our on the bench much of the third quarter, trying to find rhythm, how did you find it to extend the last drive? >> trusting my guys and the defense, knowing they're going to get off the field and give us the fourth down stop at the end of the game. just trusting rome. he's been great all day, all season, just give him a chance with the ball to continue to move forward. i knew we were going to be good. >> holly: i think you say on the inside find a way. keep finding a way. how does this team do that? >> just trusting and believing in each other.

we can't let -- can't have no excuses for the circumstances. rain and stuff, can't have no excuses for it. all week talking about it, just making sure we find a way to win. no matter what happens, put it all on the line for the team. >> holly: one more against an arch rival for the pac-12 championship game against washington state next week, how do you find one more time? >> one day at a time, continue to trust our process and go out and dominate each and every day. not just saturdays but throughout the week as well. >> holly: thanks, michael. >> thank you, shout-out to my o-line, i didn't get touched all day. >> chris: it was the second year oregon state didn't sack him. he was very well protected. odunze was monstrous, seven catches, 106, two touchdowns and clinching play. marvin harrison is a tremendous wide receiver, other guys are elite and can play the position, to me, odunze is good as

anybody. >> kirk: he was a combination of skills that make him elite. came up clutch. this is a game we'll be talking about a while. it always comes down to the final moment. >> chris: last time though. >> kirk: true. oregon state. jonathan smith, former player, he's built it up the right way. had close losses last year, and this year. loss by three, by three, by two. very, very good football team. and it's going to be a tough one for oregon next week, that rivalry game. >> chris: they had to go to the civil war, playing in eugene. but washington survives and advances, m.o. of the team. may not always wow you every facet of the game, vulnerable on defense sometimes, but the skill they have, and the resilience and intangibles are impressive. >> kirk: there's one undefeated team, not one tested like

washington. through gauntlet in the deepest conference, they need respect for what they deal with. they're challenged every week and you can't say that about the other undefeats teams this year. >> chris: do they still control their destiny? >> kirk: for sure, because of what i said. what they've been through, rivalry game and more than likely oregon will be in the pac-12 championship game. oregon is maybe the best one-loss team in the country right now, that's the only team oregon lost to, washington, rematch in vegas on a friday night. >> chris: they'll be underdogs if they rematch the ducks in las vegas. not there yet but a big step closer. huskies come to corvallis and extend the win streak amidst the rain and chainsaws and tough

opponent. great job by the crew in tough conditions. bill and jimmy produced and directed. for holly and kirk, fowler. stay tuned for the abc stations.
