LAS VEGAS — Undefeated Washington continued its historic season beating Oregon 34-31 in the Pac-12 Championship football game Friday.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. completed 27 of 39 passes for 319 yards in the win. The loss not only knocked Oregon out of the College Football Playoff picture, it was a blow to the Heisman Trophy hopes for Bo Nix.

I filed a column from Las Vegas.

61,195 fans were in attendance at Allegiant Stadium for the final game of the Pac-12 Conference as it currently exists.
