Mystery solved, Jalen McMillan was wearing #33:
Denzel Boston wore that jersey earlier in the game, but McMillan recovered the onside kick. https://t.co/eHg4x9VoYG

It looked like he might get sacked 5 or 6 times Thursday night. A big part of this stat is Michael Penix, Jr:
One note we forgot to post: against Texas, Washington didn't allow a sack of starting quarterback Michael Penix for the 10th game out of 13 this season. Penix suffered just five sacks all season.

After a sluggish first half from Penix Jr., which saw just a 53% completion rate, he found his rhythm in the second half, breaking another school record in the process for single-season passing yardage:

Penix was uncharacteristically off-target, but his WRs were snagging the balls regardless:

The victory is the seventh in a row for the 12th-ranked Dawgs, who tallied 11 dubs for just the second time in 22 years. It’s necessary to commemorate their achievements before gazing too far into the future:
It would be easy for a Huskies fan to look ahead to next year and salivate. But the move right now is to look back on this past one and celebrate, writes @Matt_Calkins. https://t.co/Dn8c38HgcB
