The Washington Huskies barely escaped their season opener against Eastern Washington with a 30-27 victory. The Eagles were driving down the field little more than a minute left to play. Bo Levi Mitchell brought the Eagles to Washington's 25-yard line, but he wound up throwing an interception at the goal line to Desmond Trufant. One Huskies play later and the game was over.
