Washington survives Texas’ last-gasp drive to gain CFP Championship Game

Wash Washington Texas Quinn Ewers Adonai Mitchell JaTavion Sanders Jaydon Blue

Washington hung on to defeat Texas in the Sugar Bowl on Monday, 37-31.

And hanging on is exactly what the Huskies did in winning their 10th straight game by 10 points or less.

Washington will play Michigan in a battle of undefeated teams on Jan. 8 for the CFP National Championship.

Texas kicked a field goal with 1:09 left to close within six points.

Washington drove and was looking to run out the clock.

However, an injury to a Huskie player stopped the clock and set up Texas for a last-ditch drive.

The march eventually left the Longhorns at the Washington 13 but they were unable to complete the comeback.

The final drive:
