The Washington Huskies' football season has come to an end due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak within the program.ย 

Athletic director Jennifer Cohen said in a statement the team won't pursue a bowl game:

The Huskies have been unable to play since their Dec. 5 loss to Stanford due to coronavirus issues in the program. Their regular-season finale against Oregon scheduled for last Saturday was canceled.ย 

Perย Mike Vorelย of theย Seattle Times, as of Wednesday, Washington was reporting "25 active positive cases of COVID-19 in its athletic departmentโ€”14 more than a week ago."

Washington was supposed to play USC in the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday, but the team had to withdraw from the game. The conferenceย announcedย Monday that Oregon would replace the Huskies to play the Trojans.ย 

The Huskies will finish the 2020 season with a 3-1 overall record and winners of the Pac-12 North Division.ย
