Jonah Coleman scored on a 1-yard dive with 6:22 remaining as Washington defeated No. 10 Michigan 27-17 on Saturday in Seattle in a rematch of last season's College Football Playoff championship game.
Will Rogers was 21-of-31 passing for 271 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for the Huskies (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who scored the game's final 13 points nearly nine months after a 34-13 loss to the Wolverines in the title game on Jan. 8 in Houston. Coleman rushed 18 times for 80 yards.
The Wolverines (4-2, 2-1) rallied from a 14-point, first-half deficit behind backup quarterback Jack Tuttle.
But Tuttle was stripped of the ball on a 1-yard run by Voi Tunuufi with 8:02 remaining. The Huskies' Logan Sagapolu recovered at Michigan's 32-yard line to set up the go-ahead drive.
On the Wolverines' next possession, Tuttle's pass was intercepted by Kamren Fabiculanan at the Michigan 31-yard line with 3:24 left. Grady Gross, who missed twice in the first half, kicked a 32-yard field goal with 1:06 remaining to seal the victory.
After trailing 14-10 at the intermission, the Wolverines took the second-half kickoff and drove 75 yards in 11 plays. Tuttle threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Colston Loveland to give the visitors their first lead.
Gross booted a 28-yarder with 13:38 left in the fourth to tie the score at 17-all.
Rogers threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Boston late in the first quarter to open the scoring and cap a 13-play, 83-yard drive. That came after Gross missed a 41-yard field-goal attempt on the Huskies' opening possession.
Washington made it 14-0 on a 16-yard scoring strike from Rogers to Giles Jackson, a transfer from Michigan, with 9:38 left in the half.
Tuttle then replaced starter Alex Orji and guided the Wolverines on a seven-play, 75-yard drive, with Edwards scoring on a 39-yard run. Edwards rushed for a game-high 95 yards on 14 carries.
Michigan's Dominic Zvada added a 45-yard field goal with 1:49 left in the second quarter to make it 14-10.
