Jacquizz Rodgers then scored from the 2 on the next play to pull Oregon State to 35-34. Beavers coach Mike Riley called timeout and decided to go for two. But Katz's throw fell out of Joe Halahuni's hands as he was hit by linebacker Cort Dennison and Washington's celebration was on again.
Washington snapped a six-game losing streak to the Beavers.
For Washington, D'Andre Goodwin scored on a 80-yard pass from Jake Locker
