The University of Washington on Thursday signed football coach Chris Petersen to a two-year extension through 2020.
"Coach Petersen has demonstrated tremendous integrity and is building a program that Husky fans can be proud of, both on and off the field," athletic director Scott Woodward said in a statement. "This extension is well-deserved and we hope Coach Petersen is a Husky for a long time to come."

Petersen is in his second season with Washington and is 13-12 after going 92-12 in eight seasons at Boise State. He will make $4 million in 2019 and 2020 - the same he'll earn in 2018.
Washington (5-6) needs a victory over No. 20 Washington State on Friday to become eligible to play in its sixth consecutive bowl.
