After only leading 7-0 at the half, the Huskies scored 31 points in the second to make sure there was no memory of their first-half performance.
The lead was made possible mainly by the performance of quarterback of Keith Price, who threw four of his five touchdown passes in the second half. Price finished with 248 yards on 22-for-29 passing.
