BERKELEY, Calif. -- Jake Browning and the Washington Huskies sure made a good case that they may have been snubbed in the initial College Football Playoff rankings even if they say they werent bothered by it in the least.Browning threw for 378 yards and six touchdowns to set Washingtons single-season record for TD passes, and the fifth-ranked Huskies beat California 66-27 on Saturday night.Days after being ranked fifth in the playoff rankings behind one-loss Texas A&M, the Huskies (9-0, 6-0 Pac-12, No. 4 AP) took care of business in efficient fashion hours after the Aggies were upset by Mississippi State.I think its good, Browning said. Theres a lot of football left to play. Put us outside the top four and make us earn it.John Ross had 208 yards receiving and three scores. Dante Pettis caught three touchdown passes and threw another to lead the Huskies to their 12th straight win in convincing fashion.Washington is off to its best start since going 12-0 and winning a share of the national title in 1991.Its nice to get into a grove like that, Pettis said. You move the ball down the field pretty easily and things feel good. Everyone is in the mojo right there. Thats how it was today.The Bears (4-5, 2-4) had won five straight home games, including victories over ranked Texas and Utah earlier this season. But they were no match for the Huskies, who were far more potent on offense and much stingier on defense.Davis Webb threw for 262 yards and one touchdown, and ran for a second score. But he also had three second-half interceptions as the Huskies pulled away with 38 straight points after Cal cut the deficit to 21-20 midway through the second quarter.We just let the game get away from us, Dykes said. We turned the ball over on three straight possessions, we couldnt get any stops and we did not do a good job on third downs.Browning did most of the work, finding Ross and Pettis open repeatedly downfield for big plays. Ross scored on TD catches of 60 and 67 yards, eluding four defenders after backtracking 4 yards on the longer TD. Pettis caught a 32-yard TD pass that gave Browning 34 TDs this season, one more then Keith Price had for the Huskies in 2011.They were kind of stacking the box, Browning said. Its high risk, high reward. Thats going to happen with those deep balls.THE TAKEAWAYWashington: The Huskies showed off their balance on offense. When Cal stacked the box to stop the run, Browning was able to beat the Bears with deep passes. When the defense rolled coverage to take away Ross, Washingtons other receivers took advantage of the opportunity. The Huskies also gained 287 yards on the ground with TD runs from Lavon Coleman and Myles Gaskin.California: Struggling on defense is nothing new for the Bears, who came into the game allowing more than 505.9 yards and 41.8 points per contest. The offense was a problem this game. Cal settled for field goals after starting in Washington territory on two first-half possessions and converted just 1 of 14 third downs.LONG TIME COMINGPettis said he had practiced his pass play a few times each week and was eager to get the chance to pull it off in a game. That opportunity came in the first quarter when he took a lateral from Browning and then hit Darrell Daniels for a 39-yard score.That was fun, Pettis said. Ive been joking to my coach that we were never going to call that paly and sure enough we called it today.WORST EVERCal tied the modern school record for points allowed in a game, matching the performance in a 66-0 loss to Alabama in the 1973 season opener.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Huskies should remain fourth in the AP poll .UP NEXTWashington: The Huskies host USC on Saturday.California: The Bears play the other top team in the division when they visit Washington State on Saturday.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Muldoon also stated that Connacht will continue with the game plan that has propelled them to the top of the PRO12, drawing comparisons with Leicester City in the Premiership.It is a bit nosebleed territory, he said. Top of the table clash against Leinster coming up - its certainly something that we are not used to but it is something that players, management and above all else, our supporters - they are in dreamland at the moment. I think in the last four or five years that [inferiority complex] has dwindled away and as its dwindled away weve progressively got better. We might not have the budget that some of the rest of them have but I think thats forced us to be more creative. Connacht captain John Muldoon in action against Cardiff Blues For us to change what we have been doing over the last couple of weeks, it would be very remiss of us to do pull back - were scoring tries; were bloody conceding them as well but thats the way we are doing it and why would we change?The long-serving back-row has endured some tough days playing for the province and admits that more than once he questioned his decision to remain at the club.Id be lying if I said I didnt think about going away, and Id be lying if I came in once or twice after a loss and said right thats me done.dddddddddddd he said. Absolutely, theres times when I was just in a very low place but ultimately you get dragged back in by that sense of community; by that sense of where you are from and who you are from. Connachts unity and cohesion has helped carry them to the top of the PRO12 And while he admits that theres been an edge to recent training sessions, he joked that he wasnt at the centre of it.Its does get feisty. Thankfully I havent been involved in any of those fights recently. Im probably getting older and a little bit wiser now.Speaking about the development of his leadership role, Muldoon said:I suppose not everyone is going to like you and Ive probably burnt bridges with some fellas here over the years but at the end of the day, you got to do that if you want to get it.I know if you speak to any player or any club, theyve got exactly the same thing and captains will tell you exactly the same thing.
