No. 8 Washington uses 45-point first half to cruise past California 59-32

Rome Odunze scored on an 83-yard punt return and a 35-yard reception in the first half, Edefuan Ulofoshio returned an interception 45 yards for a score on the first possession of the game, and No. 8 Washington scored 45 first-half points on its way to a 59-32 win over California on Saturday night. Washington led 14-0 before star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. ever saw the field. Washington (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) made everything look surprisingly easy, leading by as much as 40 against an opponent that’s been a problem in recent years.
