Halftime: Shouldn't Y. be ahead in this one?
It's halftime at Husky Stadium, with the score deadlocked at 14-14 apiece.

Washington will get the ball first in the third quarter.

The Cougars have to be a little disappointed with how the first half went, because they probably should be ahead by a touchdown or more.

They were driving at the end of the half, but Max Hall slightly underthrew a receiver who was covered and Washington's Mason Foster picked off the pass to end the threat.

At the half, BYU has 228 yards of offense and Washington has 157.

The Cougars have kept UW quarterback Jake Locker in check, although he ran for a 13-yard touchdown and threw a 48-yard TD pass on third-and-14.

On that drive, the Cougars seemingly had the Huskies stopped on third-and-23 from the UW 8. However, Locker threw a pass that David Tafuna seemingly had a bead on, only to have it pop out of his hands and into the waiting arms of D'Andre Goodwin for a 25-yard gain.

The Cougars are also killing themselves with penalties, although a few have been questionable, including a late-hit call on cornerback Scott Johnson.

BYU has also dropped a few passes. Austin Collie caught a 38-yard touchdown pass on BYU's first possession, but has struggled since then. He dropped two passes on the possession that BYU eventually scored its second touchdown on. He might have been looking into the sun, though. We will have to ask him after the game.

The Cougs have been penalized five times for 40 yards, while Washington has been flagged once, for 5 yards.

Washington is in a situation similar to where it was last week. The Huskies trailed Oregon 14-10 at the break, and was outscored 30-0.

Will it happen again?
