PULLMAN, Wash. – Myles Gaskin broke free for an 80-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, and No. 16 Washington won its second Pac-12 North Division title in three years, beating No. 8 Washington State 28-15 on a snowy Friday night.
Gaskin found enough traction to carry the Huskies to their sixth consecutive victory in the Apple Cup. It's the third year in a row the Huskies denied Washington State the North crown. Gaskin rushed for 170 yards and three TDs, a year after running for 192 yards and four scores against the Cougars.
"Myles, what do you say? That guy can do it all," Huskies coach Chris Petersen said.
The Huskies (9-3, 7-2 Pac-12, No. 16 AP) play Utah in the conference title game Friday in Santa Clara, Calif., with the winner going to the Rose Bowl.
Washington State (10-2, 7-2, No. 7 AP) carried the Pac-12's last remaining hope of finding a way into the College Football Playoff, but the Air Raid was mostly grounded by a combo of blowing snow and Washington's sticky secondary. Gardner Minshew's longest pass to a wide receiver went for 11 yards.
