    Only one running back in University of Washington football history twice rushed for more than 100 yards in a bowl game. Jacque Robinson, father of Nate, accomplished the feat as a freshman in 1982 (142 yards vs. Iowa in the Rose Bowl) and again as a senior (135 yards vs. Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl).

    Washington’s Chris Polk, who had 177 rushing yards in the 2010 Holiday Bowl, has a chance to join Robinson in the double 100 club when he faces Baylor in the Alamo Bowl.

    The best, single-game rushing, passing and receiving performances by Washington players in bowl games:
