Keith Price passed for four touchdowns and overcame a costly interception to lead Washington to a 40-32 victory over visiting Hawaii on Saturday.
Price tossed two scoring passes to Jermaine Kearse and one each to Devin Aguilar and Austin Sefarian-Jenkins as Washington improved to 2-0 entering next week’s road game at Nebraska.
Hawaii (1-1) pulled to within 38-32 on Bryant Moniz’s 8-yard pass to Miah Ostrowski with 1:39 remaining but the extra-point kick was blocked by Washington’s Everrette Thompson and Desmond Trufant returned it for two points to give the Huskies an eight-point lead.
Price had two first-quarter touchdown passes - both to Kearse - as the Huskies jumped out to a 21-0 lead over the Warriors.
But after Hawaii scored for the first time on Sterling Jackson’s 1-yard run, Price made a huge mistake by throwing into coverage. Warriors safety Richard Torres intercepted the pass and returned it 99 yards for a touchdown that cut Washington’s lead to 21-14 with 2:20 left in the half.
The Huskies quickly got the lead back to two touchdowns when Price hit Aguilar (126 first-half receiving yards) on a 31-yard scoring play with 44 seconds left.
Price’s fourth scoring pass – a 14-yarder to Sefarian-Jenkins – gave Washington a 38-26 lead with 10:02 remaining.
Jackson and Moniz had scoring runs in the second half for Hawaii.
