TWTW: Sark Takes Out Kiffykins On Last Second FG, 32-31

((HT: ESPN2/Youtube))

Washington QB Jake Locker engineered a last-minute drive to set up Erik Folk's 32-yard field goal as time expired, and Washington upset the 18th-ranked Trojans 32-31 beating USC on a last-minute field goal for the second straight season.

"It feels awesome to have the team compete like that for four quarters and then win it in the end," said Locker. "The reason I stuck around was to play for this team and these guys."

Folk's kick was the Huskies' first win at the Coliseum since 1996, and the Trojans had won 47 of 48 games there before losing three of their last five.

TWTW: Clausen Outlasts Locker, Irish Win In OT

((HT: WNDU-TV/South Bend))

The cardiac kids did it again.

Robert Hughes scored a touchdown in overtime, and Harrison Smith and Kyle McCarthy laid out Washington's D'Andre Goodwin on 4th and 20 as Notre Dame defeated the Huskies 37-30 at the Stadium in yet another thriller for the Irish.

It was the 4th straight wild down to-the-wire finish for Notre Dame, and their third straight victory.

Notre Dame is now 4-1 and is on the bye next week before hosting USC on October 17th.

Sarkisian Offered U-Dub Job

Multiple sources are reporting that the University of Washington has chosen their new Head Coach, but he hasn't chosen them yet...

It's USC Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator Steve Sarkisian ((pictured, thanks KIRO-TV))

If he accepts the offer,no announcement will be made until after the USC-UCLA game Saturday in Los Angeles.

UW Athletic Director Steve Woodward was asked about the progress of the coaching search at a Washington-Oklahoma State basketball game earlier Thursday.

Molly Yanity and Dan Raley report the following from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

Woodward was asked by the Seattle P-I about supposedly sending text messages to potential recruits that said "We have a new coach," and he responded adamantly, "That's not true."

Once inside the media workroom and surrounded by reporters, Woodward said, "We do not have an announcement to make. We're not going to talk about it until I have something to talk about."

Asked specifically about ESPN's unattributed crawl report that Sarkisian had been hired, Woodward responded coyly, "I haven't seen it."

Pressed further about the stated or reported withdrawals earlier in the day of two candidates -- Texas Tech's Mike Leach and Fresno State's Pat Hill -- which would appear to indicate a UW coach had been hired, Woodward again teased, saying, "That's a good observation."

The new AD took a few more questions, refusing to offer anything of substantive use, saying, "We'll see when the announcement comes. Stay tuned. Thanks guys. Sorry. We will make the announcement at the proper time."

Sarkisian met with reporters to talk about the UCLA game and deflected any talk of the job opening in Seattle- maintaining his focus was the game with the Bruins.
