Bishop Sankey blitzed Washington State for 139 of his 200 yards rushing in the second half to become Washington's all-time single-season rushing leader, and the Huskies reclaimed the Apple Cup with a 27-17 win over the Cougars on Friday.
After a sluggish first half, Washington put the game on the legs of its star running back, and he responded to cap his record-setting junior season. Sankey bettered Corey Dillon's record of 1,695 yards set in 1996 and will have a chance in a bowl game to add to his record.
Sankey ran for a 7-yard touchdown in the third quarter to give the Huskies the lead for good at 17-10. It was the school-record 35th rushing TD of his career.
Backup quarterback Anthony Jennings closed out LSU's regular season by giving Tigers fans a big dose of hope for the future. The freshman replaced an injured Zach Mettenberger in the fourth quarter and lofted a 49-yard touchdown pass to Travin Dural with 1:15 left as the Tigers (9-3, 5-3 SEC) pulled out a tense win over the Razorbacks (9-3, 5-3).
