SEATTLE—Michael Penix Jr. threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze with 1:38 remaining after another debatable fourth-down decision by Oregon, and Camden Lewis missed a 43-yard field goal attempt on the final play as No. 7 Washington held off No. 8 Oregon 36–33 on Saturday in another wild chapter to their heated rivalry.

The 115th matchup between the rivals was the first that featured both teams ranked in the top 10, along with a couple of a couple quarterbacks in Penix and Bo Nix who should contend for the Heisman Trophy.
