SEATTLE -- Jake Browning threw for three touchdowns to give him 26 for the season, added another rushing TD, and No. 5 Washington used a big first half to roll past Oregon State 41-17 on Saturday.
The Huskies (7-0, 4-0) won their 10th in a row, a streak that started with a victory at Oregon State last season. It is Washington's longest win streak since winning 12 consecutive during the 2000-2001 seasons.
Coming off a bye, the Huskies easily handled the Beavers (2-5, 1-3) despite a performance that gives Washington Coach Chris Petersen plenty to work on heading into next week's matchup at No. 19 Utah. Washington put away this expected blowout early, jumping to a 21-0 lead after one quarter and leading 31-0 at halftime. Washington has now outscored opponents 100-7 in the first quarter and 200-24 in the first half this season.
"As we head down the stretch here it's not always going to be like this with the teams we have coming and there is stuff to talk about and work on," Petersen said.
Browning led the attack, throwing touchdowns of 19 yards to Aaron Fuller and 23 yards to Dante Pettis sandwiched around his own 1-yard TD run in the first quarter.
Browning added a 41-yard touchdown pass to Pettis in the third quarter. Browning finished 14 of 28 for 291 yards.
John Ross had 115 yards receiving and Pettis added 112 yards -- both with 4 catches -- giving the Huskies 2 receivers with more than 100 yards for the first time since 2002.
Another bright spot for Washington's offense was the performance by Myles Gaskin. After breaking out for 197 yards rushing against Oregon, Gaskin followed up with 128 yards on 18 carries, most of that coming in just over a quarter. Gaskin had just two carries for 15 yards in the first quarter and by the middle of the third quarter had his third consecutive 100-yard game.
The depleted Beavers started third-string quarterback Marcus McMaryion after Darell Garretson and Conor Blount were injured. McMaryion was 12 of 26 for 148 yards and 2 interceptions.
The Beavers also were without starting running back Ryan Nall due to a foot injury aggravated in last week's loss to Utah. Tim Cook had 108 yards rushing and a late TD, while Victor Bolden Jr. had a 75-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
"If you watch college football or care about defense of care about the Pac-12 on defense you know how good those guys are up front and they are elite," Oregon State Coach Gary Andersen said of Washington's defense.
