Saturday’s 69-27 blowout at Oregon State was enormous for Bishop Sankey<\/strong>‘s quest to break the Husky single-season rushing record. With 169 yards on 27 carries during his abbreviated evening — two backups, Deontae Cooper<\/strong> and Dwayne Washington<\/strong>, cracked the century mark in relief — Sankey moved into second place on the UW single-season list behind Corey Dillon<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

With a bowl game likely on tap, having rushed for at least 189 yards in every two-game stretch this season, Sankey is a near-lock to break Dillon’s record. The more interesting question is whether he can get there in next Friday’s Apple Cup and match Dillon in an equivalent number of games.
