SAN FRANCISCO-In his final game as the quarterback of the Washington Huskies, Keith Price looked like a former Huskies student-athlete who calls AT&T Park home during the baseball season.

Price, a senior out of St. John Bosco in Bellflower, CA looked like two-time Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum, who played baseball for the Huskies went 17-for-22 with 123 yards passing with one touchdown, as the Huskies defeated the Brigham Young Cougars 31-16 in the 12th Fight Hunger Bowl before 34,136 at AT&T Park.

Bishop Sankey scored two touchdowns in the first half, as the Huskies under interim head coach Marques Tuiasosopo ended the season with their ninth win of the season.

Sankey got the Huskies on the board on their first drive of the evening, as he took a Price handoff and scampered 11 yards to the end zone for the first of his two touchdowns in the first half.

Taysom Hill tied up the game, as the quarterback scooted in from one-yard out, but that would not be the score for very long.

John Ross took the ensuing kickoff a Fight Hunger Bowl record 100 yards to give the Huskies the lead once again.

The Ross touchdown return broke the record of 95 yards set by Gee Gee Greene of the United States Naval Academy in the 2012 game versus the Arizona State Sun Devils.

The Cougars got back into the game, as Justin Sorensen kicked a 45 and 31 yard field goal to get the Cougars back within one.

After a 47-yard kickoff by Jesse Callier to the Cougars 35-yard line after Sorensen’s second field goal of the half, Sankey scored for the second time and once again from 11 yards out.

Sorensen kicked his third field goal of the game as time expired to end the first half, and shortened the Huskies down to five at the end of the first half.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins, the 2013 John Mackey Award winner as the best tight end in College Football gave the Huskies a 12-point lead, as he scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Price for the only scoring in the third quarter for either team.

Price was forced to leave the game after sustaining a hit to his ribs that required x-rays.

Travis Coons put the finishing touches on the scoring, as he nailed a 45-yard field goal with 7:53 remaining in the ballgame.

Hill did it all for the Cougars, as he went 25-for-48 for 292 yards passing, and gained 31 carries for 133 on the ground.

Cody Hoffman caught 12 passes for 167 yards in his final game as a member of the Cougars.

This is the 12th and final Fight Hunger Bowl to be played at AT&T Park, as the game will be heading to Levi’s Stadium, the future home of the San Francisco 49ers beginning in 2014.

Not only will it be there a new home, but a new matchup as well, as the PAC-12 will matchup with the Big 10.
