Demond Williams Jr. racks up 373, 4 TDs as Washington rolls to 48-16 win over Eastern Washington
Demond Williams Jr. had an impressive performance, throwing for 373 yards and four touchdowns as Washington defeated Eastern Washington with a 48-16 score. Washington's offense was at its best in the season, as evident from the win. Dezmen Roebuck had a career-high nine catches for 121 yards, while Rashid Williams contributed 86 yards through six receptions and scored two touchdowns, including one spectacular one-handed catch at the front pylon.
The Huskies took advantage of Eastern Washington's early efforts by scoring four touchdowns on their first five drives. The first touchdown came from a 17-yard screen pass to Chris Lawson, who scored his first career touchdown on UW's opening drive. Washington's quarterback, Williams, was the main source of points for the Huskies, hitting Rashid Williams twice and Jordan Clay once, leading to a 260 passing yard performance before halftime.
Eastern Washington showed resilience by scoring field goals and a touchdown, but Washington's defense managed to stop them on critical moments like a fourth-and-1 scenario. The Huskies will face Minnesota in their upcoming Big Ten game, while Eastern Washington will travel to face Cal Poly in a Big Sky matchup.
