The streak is over.
After losing their past 12 meetings, the Washington Huskies trounced the Oregon Ducks 70-21 at Autzen Stadium Saturday night.

The Huskies accounted for a whopping 682 yards of offense. Quarterback Jake Browning threw six touchdowns and ran for two more. Myles Gaskin ran for 197 yards and a score.
Herbert improved on his slow start to finish with 179 yards on 21-of-34 passing and one touchdown through the air.
