The Huskies began the year ranked sixth in the preseason AP Poll and were the preseason favorites to win the Pac-12.[ 1] In their first game of the year, Washington lost to then-No. 9 Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game played in Atlanta . The team rebounded and won the following five games before losing on the road to rival Oregon in overtime, and again two weeks later against California . With the Pac-12 North Division title on the line, Washington defeated in-state rival and seventh-ranked Washington State on the road in the 111th Apple Cup . The Huskies won their second Pac-12 title in three years by defeating Utah in the 2018 Pac-12 Football Championship Game . The team was invited to the Rose Bowl , where they were defeated by Ohio State to end the year at 10–4, 7–2 in conference play.
Washington was led offensively by senior quarterback Jake Browning , who threw for 3,192 yards and 16 touchdowns, and senior running back Myles Gaskin , who rushed for 1,268 yards and 12 touchdowns. Browning became the school's all-time passing leader on September 29 in the team's game against BYU ,[ 2] while Gaskin added to his all-time career rushing records that he set in 2017. The Husky defense was led by senior linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven , who led the Pac-12 in tackles and was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year . Burr-Kirven was named a first-team All-American by several selectors including the Associated Press.[ 3]
