It’s not every day that you see a team win, with absolute and pure ease, by over half a hundred points. It just doesn’t happen all that often. I mean, this is a game that was over by the time the first quarter wrapped up and Washington truly, surely could have made things a heck of a lot worse for Idaho State.

But instead, Steve Sarkisian decided to save some points and yards for the rest of the season. Instead of having Keith Price and Bishop Sankey completely and totally bulldoze the Idaho State Bengals, Washington slowed things down a bit.

And the Huskies still absolutely walloped Idaho State in the process. It was great. Let’s take a look back at how this game unfolded.

Let’s look back fondly on how Keith Price had a brilliant and efficient day for the Washington Huskies

Keith Price was just one key reason as to why Washington’s offense thrived in this game. I mean, we’re talking about an offense that gained a grand total of 680 yards of total offense in this one. The Huskies had eight different players end up in the end zone. Washington averaged 7.8 yards per play.

And Price managed to efficiently and effectively complete over 76 percent of his passes. He only threw for 213 yards and three touchdowns, but there was no reason to risk injury to the guy that was making this offense move.

Heck, Bishop Sankey didn’t need to play all that long in this game. And he’s the guy that really made the offense go. And he had just four carries (for 77 yards and a touchdown).
