DEFENSE: Edefuan Ulofoshio, R-Fr., LB, Washington (Anchorage, Alaska)

• Ulofoshio came off the bench to lead the Washington defense to a dominant performance in the Huskies' 19-7 win at Oregon State.

• OSU entered the game averaging 33.6 points and 431.0 yards per game, but were limited to 7 points (which were actually scored by the OSU defense on a pick-six) and just 119 yards of total offense.

• Ulofoshio, mainly a special teamer prior to last Friday, entered the game with a total of 11 tackles (and no sacks or TFLs) on the season but, after an injury to a starting linebacker, filled the gap and led the Huskies with nine tackles in the game, including one and a half sacks for losses totaling 12 yards.

• In the second half of the game, Ulofoshio and the Dawgs defense limited the Beavers to just eight yards of total offense and no first downs as OSU went three-and-out five times.

• Scored 10 points, making good on all three field goal attempts and his lone PAT kick.

• It's CU's third field goal in history to win a game as time expired, the first since 2007 versus Oklahoma.

• He is the first freshman in school history to be involved in a game winning score in the final two minutes in school history (Mason Crosby made a 23-yard field goal to send the game into overtime that CU eventually beat Kansas, 50-47, in 2003).

• He is now 7-of-8 in his career on field goals.
