SEATTLE -- While the celebration was underway on the far corner of the field, Washington was already starting the process of regrouping.Theres no more wiggle room for any slipups by the Huskies after seeing Sam Darnold and Southern California expose them in a way no one else has this season.I just think its hard when you lose and you put so much into it, but well regroup, Washington coach Chris Petersen said. Well be back. These kids are going to be resilient and well reload and see what weve got.The Huskies (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12) dropped three spots to No. 7 in the latest AP Top 25 after their 26-13 loss to USC on Saturday night. The bigger question is where Washington will land when the College Football Playoff rankings are released Tuesday and whether there remains a viable path for the Huskies to find their way into the top four without major upsets.But the playoff positioning was secondary for the Huskies in the aftermath of the loss to the Trojans. Washingtons defense -- which had been regarded as maybe the best in the Pac-12 -- was exposed by USC because Darnold was rarely pressured, and it suffered another big loss with linebacker Azeem Victor expected out for the season after a leg injury.Darnold threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns, showing poise and playmaking in a hostile atmosphere. It wasnt for Washingtons lack of effort. The Huskies thrived for most of the season by being able to get pressure in the pass game without having to bring extra defenders. Blitzing had been done in specific spots but not as the primary method to cause disruption.That plan changed against USC -- but didnt bring the desired results. Washington blitzed regularly, whether it was bringing linebackers up the middle or occasionally defensive backs off the edge. USCs defensive line was excellent at stemming the pressure and when defenders got to the backfield, Darnold used his athleticism to slip tacklers and extend plays with his feet.The final result was Washington getting only one sack.I think you got to bring what you got to bring, Petersen said. They did a good job of mixing up their calls, I thought, and the bootleg hurt us. ... So youre trying to mix it up there a little bit. I think overall, the defense was solid enough. I dont think it was an outstanding game by any phase of our team. Part of thats a credit to those guys, to USC, it is. They played good. They played hard and whooped us pretty good.Washingtons pass rush was already lagging since the loss of sack-leader Joe Mathis, who injured his foot during the Huskies bye week. Petersen announced last week that Mathis would undergo surgery and is likely done for the season. In the four games since Mathis went out, Washington has just four total sacks. Before Mathis was lost, Washington was averaging four sacks per game.What Washington lost with Mathis was pressure from the edge. What it loses with the expected loss of Victor may be more.While he was occasionally out of position by being too aggressive, Victor was Washingtons best tackler. He also called the defense for the Huskies, a role fellow linebacker Keishawn Bierria had to inherit midgame on Saturday. D.J. Beavers took over for Victor and finished with six tackles but also had his inexperience exposed at times, especially on USCs final touchdown, when tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe slipped behind Beavers and caught an 8-yard TD at the back of the end zone.We hate losing a guy like that, but like any situation playing football, guys get hurt, Washington cornerback Kevin King said. D.J. got in there. He filled in and did his job. Next man up.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Wholesale Kobe Bryant Shoes .

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Mike Gundys 100th career win at Oklahoma State was one of his best.Mason Rudolph threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score to help the Cowboys upset No. 10 West Virginia 37-20 on Saturday.Its special for all of us, Gundy said of the milestone. For me to not say that 100 wins is not special to me is not fair. That means that were doing well here and were having success.It was Gundys sixth win over a top-10 team since 2008. The Cowboys are now in position to contend for the Big 12 title.Theyve kind of created a monster here, and the only way to feed it is to win big games like we did today, he said. And thats just the way its going to be from this point on.Rudolph completed 26 of 36 passes for 273 yards. James Washington had six catches for 117 yards, Chris Lacy caught two touchdown passes and Jalen McCleskey matched a career high with 11 receptions for the Cowboys (6-2, 4-1 Big 12).It feels great, Lacy said. We knew we had a big game coming, and this was a game to go out and make a statement. We wanted to prove that we run the Big 12.West Virginias Skyler Howard passed for 212 yards, but he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble for the Mountaineers (6-1, 3-1).We just didnt play as good as we have the last couple of weeks, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. Maybe were not as good as we thought we were.THE TAKEAWAYWest Virginia: The Mountaineers hadnt played too tough of a schedule, so it was difficult to tell how good they were. West Virginia, which entered the game 10th in the nation in yards per game with 510 yards per game, finished with 421.Honestly, they were doing what we thought they were going to do, said West Virginia receiver Daaikiel Shorts Jr.dddddddddddd who had 8 catches for 82 yards. We had stuff that was there. They did exactly what we thought they were going to do, we just didnt execute.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys are known for their explosive offense, but their defense led the way in this one. Three times, the Cowboys forced turnovers and gained possession inside the West Virginia 15-yard line, leading directly to 17 points.Gundy said the Cowboys showed great discipline on Ramon Richards 59-yard interception return in the third quarter and Kevin Henrys 26-yard interception return in the fourth.We practice the fumble recovery and the interception, blocking in front of the returner, and not blocking below the waist, Gundy said. The time that we put into it and the players ability to focus and absorb that information has paid great dividends for us, and today was a great example.POLL IMPLICATIONSWest Virginia: The Mountaineers are looking at a steep drop because they dont have any really strong wins to give them a case to avoid it. They could fall out of the Top 20.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys could re-enter the rankings. They might already have been in the Top 25 if not for a controversial loss to Central Michigan.INJURY REPORTRushel Shell, West Virginias leading rusher, left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.UP NEXTWest Virginia hosts Kansas on Saturday.Oklahoma State plays at Kansas State on Saturday.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/CliffBruntAP .
