Washington’s Elijah Jackson swatted the Huskies into national title game with incredible Sugar Bowl-saving play

WHAT A PLAY!!!

The Washington Huskies won the Sugar Bowl in the most dramatic way possible against Texas on Monday night.

With the Longhorns in the red zone on fourth-and-11 with a single second left on the clock, quarterback Quinn Ewers threw a dart to wide receiver Adonai Mitchell in the end zone for the walk-off win.

However, Washington cornerback Elijah Jackson made the play of bowl season so far by swatting the ball away to send the Huskies to the national title game.

It was just a perfect defensive play for Jackson, who stopped one of the best receivers in college football in Mitchell from making the game-winning catch.

This was the kind of play that Washington fans are going to remember forever (and the kind of play that will haunt Texas fans for a while).

Thanks to Jackson, the Huskies will now play Michigan for a championship next week.
