In a devastating 41-24 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes on October 9, 2026, the Washington Huskies suffered their worst performance of the season. Quarterback Elijah Brown stepped in for an injured Demond Williams and led three touchdown drives, but it was not enough to overcome the superior performance of the visiting team. The Huskies struggled to gain traction on the ground, with Iowa's Kamari Moulton rushing for a game-high 208 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries.
Early in the game, the Huskies trailed 13-0 with just 10 seconds left in the first quarter, and their struggles persisted. Washington managed a single field goal in the first half, while Iowa scored four touchdowns and two punts, taking a 27-3 halftime lead. Williams was injured on the Huskies' second-to-last drive of the second half, but Brown continued to excel, leading two more scoring drives in the second half.
Despite Brown's efforts, the Huskies could not mount a comeback, as Iowa's offense never faltered. The final touchdown came on a last-second pass to wide receiver Chris Lawson. With this loss, Washington has now lost three straight games and desperately needs a win against Purdue, their final remaining game where they are favored for the remainder of the season.
