Washington’s chance to win after every play.

How to read this chart

Starts from the pregame line (Washington -23.5), at 93% for Washington (the play-by-play feed's kickoff number, moved to match the line; our model's and the betting line's own numbers are in “The betting line, and the fans”). Dots are the biggest swings; ticks under the chart are scores. Outlined diamonds mark rare plays. Under the scores, r/CFB comments per minute from fans with a Washington or Washington State flair (1,228 and 1,323); both sides share one scale, regulation only.

Watch the plays

The bar and the arrow show Washington’s chance to win after each play; the logo is the team the play helped.

Every drive

Washington scored on 4 of its 12 drives; Washington State on 2 of its 11.

Washington’s drives are teal, Washington State’s amber. A line runs from where a drive started to where it ended; a filled dot means it scored.

“Are these announcers legitimately stupid lmao”

How fans reacted

Steady

Fans had the most to say in the fourth quarter.

Jump to the loudest stretch

The jump was steady; the crowd was loud.

Two crowds, one game

The words each side’s fans used far more than the other side, from the game thread.

Washington fans

penalties“UW has 95 yards in penalties and Ducks and Cougs are claiming refs are on our side?”

yards“always makes me laugh when players are so exasperated that they got called for hitting a QB 2 yards out of bounds”

Washington State fans

pinnick“UW can just sell out on the run because they know Pinnick has like a 2 second clock before he scrambles out of the pocket.”

Both sets of fans kept coming back to: ball, now, refs, call.

What it cost

Washington’s chance to make the playoff fell from 15% to 9%.
