Each week during the 2016 college football season, The Pac-12 Networks will feature a Fundamental Play of the Week from the previous weekend’s slate of games to encourage proper technique, which fosters better on-field performance.

On Friday, Washington made the trip to Pullman, Wash. for the 109th meeting between Washington and Washington State for the annual Apple Cup.

In the opening drive of the game, Huskies quarterback Jake Browning converted a third down with textbook-level precision that earned him the Fundamental Play of the Week. The play moved the team downfield and the drive resulted in a touchdown to put Washington up 7-0, a lead it would never relinquish.

As Pac-12 analyst Yogi Roth points out, out of all of the great plays that occurred during the game, this play stands out because of Browning’s clinic-worthy manipulation of the defense with eyes, allowing him to find his man downfield:

• On the snap, tailback Lavon Coleman sprints to the outside and draws the inside and outside linebackers just enough to open a hole for tight end Drew Sample to run through
• Wide receivers John Ross and Chico McClatcher pull the linebackers with their routes and keep the middle of the field open for Sample
• Browning exhibits expert eye discipline and at the last minute, snaps his head back to the left and finds Sample open
• He throws the ball to Sample’s right shoulder, away from the defender, and gets the third down conversion and an 11-yard gain.

As a true sophomore, Browning leads No. 4-ranked Washington with 40 touchdowns and just seven interceptions this season. With their 45-17 victory over Washington State, the Huskies upped their all-time Apple Cup record to 71–32–6.

After the game, Pac-12 Network’s Kate Harrison asked wide receiver Dante Pettis how the Huskies were able to work together so well starting early in the game. He gave all of the credit to his quarterback.

“I think Jake just saw what the defense was doing,” he said. “He’s done a good job of that all year, seeing where the defense is going to be and making good throws. It definitely helped tonight.”

The Pac-12 and more than three dozen leading organizations across medicine, sport and child advocacy support USA Football’s Heads Up Football program for a better, safer game. In recognition of a Pac-12 team’s strong fundamentals, USA Football awards a $4,000 equipment grant to a local youth football organization within the selected university’s market throughout the season.

In honor of Washington’s display of strong fundamentals, USA Football will award a $4,000 equipment donation to the North Sound Junior Football League.
