Watch Washington Huskies fans storm the field as time expires in massive win over Oregon
The battle of Pac-12 powers No. 8 Oregon and No. 6 Washington lived up to the anticipation Saturday in Seattle. Heisman contenders Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. lit up Husky Stadium in a down-to-the-wire game. Oregon had a chance to tie the game as time expired but kicker Camden Lewis' 43-yard field goal attempt sailed just wide of the goal posts to give the Huskies a 36-33 victory.

The 115th game between the two teams today was the first time both met when ranked in the top 10. With an ending like that, it was fitting that Washington fans flooded the field after time expired.
