• Ross caught scoring passes of 60, 67 and six yards and increased his season total for receiving touchdowns to 14, second-most in the FBS.

• His 208 yards were the fifth-highest, single-game total in UW history while his three TDs were tied for second-most in UW history, one shy of the record of four.

Defensive: Sidney Jones IV, Jr., CB, Washington

• The junior cornerback led a Husky defense that held California to just 27 points, about 14 shy of its season average.

• Jones recorded two interceptions, one of them in the end zone, and also broke up two other passes, while also contributing three tackles.

• Washington's defense held Cal to its second-lowest passing yards output of the season (262 yards) as well as the second-fewest TD passes (1), while the Bears' 362 yards of total offense equaled their lowest sum of the year.

Special Teams: Isaiah Oliver, PR/DB, Colorado

• It was CU’s first punt return for a score since Stephane Robinson returned one 81 yards against Kansas on Oct. 22, 2005.

• He is the first Buff to have over 100 yards in punt returns in a game since Josh Smith (4-108) against Eastern Washington on Sept. 6, 2008 and it was the most yards since Roman Hollowell had 6-148 against Fresno State on Aug. 26, 2001.
