SEATTLE, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Cody Pickett threw three touchdown passes to Reggie Williams Saturday, including an eight-yarder with 2:03 remaining, to lift No. 18 Washington to a thrilling 32-28 Pac-10 Conference victory over Arizona.
Last season, Washington (4-2, 1-1 Pac-10) defeated Arizona here when Pickett threw for a school-record 455 yards and scored the winning touchdown on a three-yard run with 13 seconds left for a 31-28 victory.
Pickett completed 25 of 35 passes for 345 yards this time but his counterpart, Jason Johnson, was equal to the task for Arizona.
Johnson capped a six-play, 82-yard drive with a 28-yard pass to Bobby Wade for a 28-26 lead early in the fourth quarter. Johnson finished 29 of 41 for a career-high 443 yards, his second 400-yard effort of the season.
The Huskies took over at their own 20 with 2:20 remaining and Pickett was incomplete on first down before he found Williams on the left side. Williams, who had eight receptions for 184 yards, ran down the sideline to give the Huskies a four-point lead.
Arizona (3-3, 0-2) had a final chance and got to its own 39 before Johnson threw incomplete on fourth down. The Wildcats lost their third straight visit to Husky Stadium by a total of 10 points.
