Justin Herbert threw four touchdown passes, the last a 5-yarder to Jaylon Redd with 5:10 remaining, as No. 12 Oregon rallied from a 14-point, second-half deficit to defeat No. 25 Washington 35-31 on Saturday afternoon in a Pac-12 showdown in Seattle.
Cyrus Habibi-Likio rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries for the Ducks (6-1, 4-0), and Redd tallied twice on five receptions.
Jacob Eason threw three TD passes for the Huskies (5-3, 2-3) and Salvon Ahmed rushed for 140 yards and a score on 24 carries.
The Huskies reached Oregon's 35-yard line in the final minute, but Eason's fourth-and-3 pass was incomplete. The Ducks ran out the final 54 seconds.
