Washington's Williams Throws Four First-half Touchdowns in 48-16 Win
Demond Williams Jr. had four touchdown passes before halftime, and the second half was a formality. Washington beat Eastern Washington 48-16 and is 3-0.
The Huskies scored first, a 15-yard pass from Williams to Chris Lawson, and were never behind. Eastern Washington kicked a 20-yard field goal to make it 7-3 and Nate Bell's 14-yard run cut it to 14-10 early in the second quarter, but that was the closest it got. Williams hit Jordan Clay from 3 yards at 7:47 of the second for 21-10, then Rashid Williams from 18 yards at 3:30 for 28-10, and Tyler Robles added a 25-yard field goal with eight seconds left for a 31-10 lead at the break.
The second half was lighter work. Ansu Sanoe scored on a 1-yard run late in the third quarter to make it 38-13, after an Eastern Washington field goal, and Robles kicked a 32-yarder with 5:57 left to make it 41-16 once Eastern Washington had added a 43-yarder of its own. Elijah Brown threw a 2-yard touchdown to Trez Davis with 1:10 left for the final margin of 32 points.
Washington gained 546 yards, 398 passing and 148 rushing, and had two sacks. Williams threw one interception and it did not matter at all. Eastern Washington's 16 points came from three field goals and one 14-yard touchdown run, which is not a recipe for catching anybody who scores 48.
On the fantasy side, Williams was the story at 42.2, and Rashid Williams (two touchdown catches, 26.6) and Dezmen Roebuck (nine catches for 121 yards, 21.1) also went over 20.
