The Washington Huskies mounted a furious second-half rally but ultimately fell to the Penn State Nittany Lions 28-25 at Husky Stadium in Seattle on November 7, 2026.
Trailing by a significant margin at halftime, Washington stormed back in the final two quarters to make it a one-score game. The Huskies' comeback bid came up just short as Penn State held on for the victory in front of the home crowd.
Tyler Robles, wearing number 95, connected on a field goal during the second half as part of Washington's scoring surge, celebrating with teammate Luke Dunne (number 45) after the kick. The three-point difference reflected how close the Huskies came to completing the turnaround.
The loss drops Washington in what proved to be a tightly contested matchup between two prominent college football programs. Penn State's ability to withstand the second-half onslaught secured them the road win at one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic venues.
