Bryant was a standout on an otherwise routine, late-night thumping by the Huskies. It wasn’t a flashy performance full of major highlights for Washington (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12), yet was a thorough domination of the Golden Bears.

Washington held California (3-3, 0-3) to 46 total yards in the first half. The Bears finished with just 93 total yards thanks to losing 41 yards on the final play of the game when a field-goal attempt was mishandled by California.
