2013 Federated Auto Parts 400
The 2013 Federated Auto Parts 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 7, 2013, at Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Virginia, United States. Contested over 400 laps, it was the twenty-sixth and final race leading into the Chase for the Sprint Cup in the 2013 Sprint Cup Series season. Carl Edwards of Roush Fenway Racing won the race, his second win of the season, while Kurt Busch finished second. Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray, and Paul Menard rounded out the top five.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400
The race was the first for Harry Scott, Jr. as a Sprint Cup Series team owner; Ryan Truex drove the #51 car in the team's debut.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400
The race was marred by a controversial finish, after evidence surfaced that two teams were found to have manipulated the outcome of the race and Chase positions in the final ten laps.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400
NASCAR ultimately determined that Michael Waltrip Racing, Penske Racing, and Front Row Motorsports were involved in two separate, but intertwined, incidents, first by Clint Bowyer intentionally causing a caution with less than ten laps remaining in the race, and on the ensuing restart, having Brian Vickers pit after a restart from caution so that Martin Truex, Jr. would clinch a Wildcard berth over Ryan Newman, and the second was collusion where Penske's Joey Logano earned the final guaranteed berth over Jeff Gordon after passing Front Row's David Gilliland. Both situations were intertwined together because of the tenth place and wild card situation. This scandal became widely known as Spingate.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Results, Qualifying
1 Regan Smith drove the No. 48 car for practice and qualifying;  Jimmie Johnson was on paternity leave.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
Team orders became an issue during the last ten laps of the race, and it was ultimately determined that three teams had tried to manipulate the finish of the race and Chase positions.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
Under the Chase system at the time, 12 drivers were eligible to make the Chase: the top 10 in points, with two additional Wild Card spots for drivers positioned 11th-20th in the points with race wins. Entering the race, Kasey Kahne had already locked up the first Wild Card spot as he was the only repeat winner in the field outside of the top 10 in points, with his two race wins from earlier in the year (Bristol in March, and Pocono in August). Ryan Newman entered the race trailing Martin Truex, Jr. for the final wild card.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
In order to guarantee a Chase position, Newman needed to either win the race, or be five points ahead of Truex and not have Joey Logano or Greg Biffle fall out of the top ten (as if either Logano or Biffle dropped out of the top ten at the end of the race, the other Wild Card spot would go to one of them). Jeff Gordon trailed Logano by 16 points for 10th place, the final Chase spot based on points position.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
On Lap 393, Gordon was ahead of Logano by a large enough margin that Gordon led Logano by two points for the final guaranteed Chase position. Newman was the leader, and would have bumped out both Logano and Truex (one win each) had the race ended at that point. It was on that lap that Truex's teammate Clint Bowyer spun out in Turn 4. From the various angles captured of the spin, it initially appeared that Bowyer had either been tapped from behind by Dale Earnhardt, Jr. or he had cut a right front tire. The field pitted under the resulting caution flag, including Bowyer, Truex's other teammate Brian Vickers, Newman and the rest of the field. A slow pit stop for Newman dropped him to third, behind Carl Edwards, Paul Menard, with Kurt Busch starting next to him in 4th.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
As a result of pit stops, Truex gained multiple positions. Logano, who was two laps behind the leader (while Gordon was on the lead lap), used a wavearound to move up to one lap behind the leaders, where he could race other cars one lap behind in an attempt to gain more positions and score enough points to retake Gordon. Edwards went on to win, albeit with controversy as it appeared he jumped Paul Menard on the restart, with Kurt Busch and Newman finishing behind Edwards. However, Edwards was not penalized (as had happened to Jimmie Johnson at Dover in June) as NASCAR ruled that Menard had spun his tires and was slow getting up to speed.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
Newman and Truex finished tied for the final wildcard spot on both wins, and the first tie-breaker, points. However, since Truex had an extra second-place finish at Texas, he entered the Chase. Logano, who overtook Gordon on the final restart, clinched the final non-wild card spot by one point over Gordon.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
Immediately after the race, many in the garage suspected that Bowyer had spun out deliberately in an attempt to manipulate the finish of the race so that Truex would gain a Chase spot. The incident drew comparisons to the 2008 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix Formula One race, where Nelson Piquet, Jr. intentionally caused a caution to give an advantage to teammate Fernando Alonso, who would win the race. Coincidentally, Piquet was entered in the second-tier Nationwide Series race that weekend.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. was directly behind Bowyer at the moment of the spin, and said afterwards that the way Bowyer's car spun was "one of the craziest things he's ever seen", and noticed the car being "jerked around" to make it lose control out of turn 4.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
While Bowyer claimed it was a flat tire that caused him to spin out, and indeed the right front was down after the spin, it was noted that the behavior of Bowyer's car was inconsistent with the normal behavior of a car that had cut a tire: the normal behavior for a car cutting a tire in the corners being for the car to wash up the track with no steering and slam the outside wall with its right side, then come back down onto the track, rather than spinning onto the apron. In addition, the popping noise normally associated with a flat tire only happened after the spin.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
Further suspicion arose during the video replays, as the radio communications between Bowyer and crew chief Brian Pattie showed they were openly worried about the possibility of Newman winning and eliminating Truex from the Chase on lap 391, two laps before Bowyer spun. Another suspicious conversation was revealed between Vickers and his spotter, team general manager and vice president Ty Norris, where Norris ordered a completely oblivious Vickers to make a green-flag pit stop after the restart on lap 398 in order to give Truex another position to tie Newman in points.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
These conversations seemed to provide evidence of some kind of manipulation going on via team orders. In order for the scheme to work, Gordon, who was in 10th place, had to be overtaken by Logano in order to guarantee Truex a wild card. This scandal became known as Spingate from Bowyer's late-race spin, but also the Singapore Sling because the incident was similar to the 2008 Singapore Formula One incident to manipulate the outcome of the race.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
On Monday, September 9, NASCAR penalized Michael Waltrip Racing by fining the team $300,000—the highest fine imposed on a team in NASCAR's 67-year history. It also indefinitely suspended Norris, placed all three of MWR crew chiefs on probation until December 31, and docked Bowyer and Truex 50 driver points  (While Vickers, a Nationwide Series regular, was not eligible for Sprint Cup driver points under the series declaration rule, he was also docked 50 points, which was reflected in a negative points total at year's end).


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
Each car was also docked 50 owner's points (Waltrip for the #55 and #56, Rob Kauffman for the #15;  even if a driver is not a Cup-declared driver, the owner earns points). As this penalty was applied before the reset for the Chase, it effectively knocked Truex out of the Wildcard spot in favor of Newman. The 50-point penalty dropped Truex to 17th in points, removing him from eligibility for a wild-card position, and giving his spot to Newman.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
While NASCAR could not find any conclusive evidence that Bowyer had deliberately spun out, it did determine that Vickers' pit on Norris' orders was illegal. The point deduction did not affect Bowyer's post-seeding, as all penalties affected his pre-Chase points total and he had clinched a Chase berth two races earlier. Gordon, meanwhile, remained eliminated from the Chase because he did not have the necessary points to leapfrog Logano for a spot, which drew even more controversy, since Logano was able to overtake Gordon in the ensuing restart after the caution. Logano had to stay in the top ten in order to give Truex a wild card if Newman did not win. Had the caution not occurred, Gordon would likely have clinched a Chase position, since Logano would have remained two laps down.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
Shortly after the penalties against Michael Waltrip Racing for trying to manipulate the race, rumors surfaced that Logano had received assistance from Front Row Motorsports driver David Gilliland. Penske and Front Row were considered technical partners, as they both used Ford cars and Roush Fenway Racing powertrains. Radio communications seemed to suggest to NASCAR that Front Row officials asked Gilliland to slow down and give up a position to Logano in order to help Logano race his way into the Chase, in exchange for an undisclosed form of compensation. Logano passed Gilliland on the final restart.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
After a second inquiry, NASCAR placed both Penske and Front Row on probation until December 31, and forced all teams to attend a Saturday afternoon meeting at the 2013 GEICO 400 in Chicagoland, regarding ethics in light of the two related match fixing incidents. Additionally, NASCAR CEO Brian France announced that Gordon would be added to the Chase field, expanding the field to 13 drivers.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race manipulation controversy
France explained in a press conference that his decision to add Gordon to the Chase was "based on the totality of events that were outside" Gordon's control, and how MWR's and Penske's manipulation attempts gave Gordon an "unfair disadvantage", and the fact that if Bowyer had not spun and the caution had not come out at any point between lap 393 and the white flag, Gordon would have qualified for the Chase on points based on his running position.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Aftermath
NAPA Auto Parts, Truex's primary sponsor on the #56 car, announced on September 19, 2013, that they would withdraw sponsorship of the #56 team at the end of the season as a direct result of the incident, choosing instead to align with Hendrick Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. for the 2014 season. In 2014, NAPA would partner with Earnhardt's Nationwide Series team JR Motorsports and became the primary sponsor for up-and-coming driver Chase Elliott's 2014 championship and rookie of the year run in the Nationwide Series.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Aftermath
They also sponsored Elliott for his part-time Sprint Cup debut in 2015, with a partial run set for his championship debut in 2016 after Elliott was moved to the No. 24 full-time following Jeff Gordon's retirement from racing, with Axalta covering the remaining races; Elliott would eventually win his first Cup Series title (with NAPA sponsorship) in 2020. With the loss of NAPA sponsorship, MWR had to scale the #56 team down to a part-time team for 2014, while Truex and everyone on his pit crew ended up being signed by Furniture Row Racing to replace a departing Kurt Busch. Truex would win the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship for Furniture Row.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Aftermath
Michael Waltrip Racing continued to run as a two-car operation for 2014 and 2015 but never again saw victory lane. Team principal Rob Kauffman announced he was purchasing a stake in Chip Ganassi Racing in 2015 and MWR folded at the end of the season; the team's charters (as a founding member of Race Team Alliance) were given to Stewart Haas Racing and fellow Toyota team Joe Gibbs Racing, allowing both to receive one extra car under the then-new charter system. Bowyer would take 5-Hour Energy to HScott Motorsports for 2016. In 2017, Bowyer moved to drive the 14 for Stewart Haas Racing in 2017, replacing retired team owner, Tony Stewart. 5-Hour Energy would move to Furniture Row to sponsor Erik Jones and Truex, before also withdrawing from the sport in 2018.


2013 Federated Auto Parts 400, Aftermath
NASCAR would be rocked by another race manipulation scandal six years later, involving backmarker teams during that year's season finale, the 2019 Ford EcoBoost 400, involving bonuses for the best team without a Race Team Alliance charter (a system introduced in 2016) in that year's owner point standings.

2013 Fiesta Bowl
The 2013 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl was a postseason college football bowl game played on Thursday, January 3, 2013, at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The Kansas State Wildcats, champions of the Big 12 Conference, played the Oregon Ducks, an at-large selection from the Pac-12 Conference. This was the only bowl game of the season to feature two top-10 ranked teams, other than the 2013 BCS National Championship Game.


2013 Fiesta Bowl
The game started at 6:30 p.m. (MST) and aired on ESPN. Oregon won the game by a score of 35 points to 17 over Kansas State, making its second Fiesta Bowl title for the Ducks (first since 2001 in the 2002 Fiesta Bowl).


2013 Fiesta Bowl, Preview
This was the first time Kansas State and Oregon played each other on the gridiron. The two teams were scheduled to meet during the 2012 regular season but the game was cancelled due to scheduling conflicts. On November 11, 2012, both schools were undefeated (10–0) and were ranked #1 or #2 in the polls and the BCS rankings. However, both schools lost their eleventh game of the season on November 17 to fall from the national championship race. Each finished the regular season with an 11–1 record.


2013 Fiesta Bowl, Preview
This was the fourth Fiesta Bowl to match a Big 12 (formerly Big Eight) team and a Pac-12 (formerly Pacific-10) team. The previous such Fiesta Bowls occurred in 1983 (Oklahoma vs. Arizona State), 2002 (Colorado, then representing the Big 12, against Oregon) and 2012 (Oklahoma State vs. Stanford).


2013 Fiesta Bowl, Preview, Kansas State
K-State attributed its success this season to a balanced offense led by quarterback Collin Klein and an opportunistic defense that included linebacker Arthur Brown. The Wildcats are leading the nation in turnover margin at +21. Klein rushed for 22 touchdowns this season, threw for 10 or more touchdowns in consecutive seasons, passed for more than 4,000 yards and rushed 2,000 yards for a career.

Mariota, was sixth in the country in passing efficiency, completed 218 of 312 passes for 2,511 yards and 30 touchdowns with six interceptions. All-America running back Kenjon Barner ran for 1,624 yards and scored 22 touchdowns this season, fifth best in rushing (135.3 avg.) and sixth in scoring (11.0 ppg).


2013 Fiesta Bowl, Game summary, Conversion safety scored
A rare type of football scoring occurred during the third quarter on an attempted Oregon extra point, a one-point conversion safety. The one point safety was awarded to Oregon after Kansas State ended the play while in possession of the ball in the end zone after blocking Oregon's extra point attempt. This was only the second one-point safety scored in the history of NCAA FBS competition; the other was converted by Texas A&M against Texas on November 26, 2004.

2013 Fight Hunger Bowl
The 2013 Fight Hunger Bowl is an American college football bowl game that was played on December 27, 2013 at AT&T Park in San Francisco, California. It was one of the 2013–14 bowl games that concluded the 2013 FBS football season. The 12th edition of the Fight Hunger Bowl, it featured the Washington Huskies, from the Pac-12 Conference, against the BYU Cougars, an independent team. The game began at 6:30 p.m. PST and aired on ESPN. It was the last Fight Hunger Bowl game played at AT&T Park.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl
Washington and BYU both finished the regular season with records of 8–4, and each team faced its own set of circumstances entering the game. Washington entered the game with quarterbacks coach Marques Tuiasosopo serving as its interim coach following the departure of Steve Sarkisian and several staff members to University of Southern California, where Sarkisian was named head coach days before the game. Though the Huskies moved quickly to hire Chris Petersen away from Boise State, Tuiasosopo coached the game.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl
Washington featured a pair of key star players on offense, in Bishop Sankey at running back and Austin Seferian-Jenkins at tight end. Key performers on the defense included linebacker Shaq Thompson and team captain Sean Parker, a safety. BYU featured a high-powered offense that centered on dual-threat quarterback Taysom Hill and wide receiver Cody Hoffman. The offensive line, however, had been in shambles all season long, and was a potential area of concern. Defensively, Kyle Van Noy, an All-American who was one of the "best defenders" in program history, headlined a unit that also featured Uani 'Unga, who led the group in tackles.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl
The game featured two female officials, which made Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history. After Washington scored first, and was the only team to score in the first quarter, BYU came back in the second quarter with a trio of field goals from Justin Sorensen, but ultimately trailed at halftime following a kickoff returned for a touchdown and a touchdown pass to Seferian-Jenkins by Washington. The halftime score was 21–16, with Washington holding the 5-point advantage. They were the only team to score in the second half, posting 10 points despite losing both their quarterback and running back due to injury in the fourth quarter. Ultimately, they won the game 31–16.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars
In December 2010, organizers announced that they had reached a deal with BYU to play in the 2013 edition of the Fight Hunger Bowl. The Cougars, who became conference independent during the 2011 season, were scheduled to fill a slot originally allotted to a team from the Western Athletic Conference, which discontinued football prior to the 2013 season. After defeating the Boise State Broncos for their sixth win of the season on October 25, bowl director Gary Cavalli extended an invitation to play in the game.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars
Cavalli stated in 2010 that he had been hoping to secure the Cougars' participation in the game since 2002. If the Cougars did not earn enough wins to become bowl eligible, an alternate team from the Atlantic Coast Conference would have replaced them; though they finished bowl eligible, one ESPN writer opined they were even better than their record indicated.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Offense
Led by coordinator Robert Anae, the Cougars' offense led all seven Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) independent teams in total offense, gaining 495.3 yards per game, they were second in scoring, averaging 31.3 points per game. Averaging 220.8 passing yards per game, BYU's passing game was led by 23-year-old sophomore quarterback Taysom Hill, who totaled 2,645 passing yards with 19 touchdowns (TDs) and 13 interceptions (INTs) on a total of 390 passing attempts,  which was in the top-25 most passing attempts among NCAA quarterbacks. Hill also led the team in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns, with 215, 1211, and 9 respectively.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Offense
Fellow sophomore Jamaal Williams, a running back, was a close second in each of the aforementioned categories, with 205, 1202, and 7 respectively. Other key contributors in the rushing attack included running backs Paul Lasike, a bruising 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m) 227 pounds (103 kg) junior former rugby star, from New Zealand, who rushed for 341 yards and a touchdown on the season, Algernon Brown, a freshman who rushed for 234 yards and 2 touchdowns, and Adam Hine, a sophomore who rushed for 219 yards and a touchdown.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Offense
NFL Draft prospect Cody Hoffman, rated the 22nd-best wide receiver prospect for 2014, led the receiving game from his 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) frame, catching 45 passes for 727 yards and 5 TDs. Supplementing Hoffman's leadership of the receiving game were fellow senior wide receiver Skyler Ridley (35 receptions, 412 yards, 2 TDs) and sophomore Mitch Mathews, who from his massive 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) stature reeled in 23 passes for 397 yards and 4 TDs. Other contributors included wide receivers JD Falslev and Ross Apo, and tight ends Brett Thompson and Kaneaku Friel.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Offense
A "work in progress" all season long, the BYU offensive line shuffled players in and out in various positions:


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Offense
Head coach Bronco Mendenhall and offensive coordinator Robert Anae both say they’ve witnessed progress in recent weeks, but there have still been a lot of whiffs, missed assignments, questionable efforts, injuries, rotating lineups, challenges to compete, and advocacy to be more physical. When in pass pro — a formation with a loaded backfield to help pass block — backs are missing shuffle blocks and pickups. Offensive line coach Garett Tujague has navigated all this like Horatio Hornblower.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Offense
As evidenced by their depth chart, numerous players started all season long. In the final game against Notre Dame, junior Michael Yeck started at left tackle, fellow junior Solomone Kafu started at left guard, sophomore Terrance Alletto started at center, freshman Kyle Johnson started at right guard, and junior De'Ondre Wesley started at right tackle. Senior Justin Sorensen handled the kicking duties, and was accurate, making 81.8% of his field goal attempts and 100% of his extra point attempts, though did not have much range, with a long of 41 yards on the season.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Defense
The 3-4 defense was led by coordinator Nick Howell. Senior linebacker Uani 'Unga led the defense in tackles, recording 136 on the season, adding 7 tackles-for-loss (TFL), and 2 forced fumbles (FF).


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Defense
Joining him in the linebacking corps were All-American Kyle Van Noy, "perhaps the best defender to ever run out of the home-team tunnel at LaVell Edwards Stadium" and led the defense with 16 TFL, junior Alani Fua, who was third on the team with 63 tackles, senior Austin Jorgensen, whose career ended with surgery to repair torn knee cartilage in October, and Spencer Hadley, who returned late in the year after a suspension imposed due to an honor code violation.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Defense
The defensive line was composed of sophomore defensive end Bronson Kaufusi, tied for second on the defense with seven TFL and tied for first with four sacks, senior nose tackle Eathyn Manumaleuna, an Alaskan who made 46 tackles and was a candidate to win the Outland Trophy, and sophomore defensive end Remington Peck, who recorded 4 TFL and 3 sacks to complement his 36 tackles and 2 fumble recoveries. Junior safety Craig Bills led the defensive backfield with 69 tackles, and tied with three others for the team lead in interceptions with two.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, BYU Cougars, Defense
Joining him in the secondary were fellow safety Daniel Sorensen, a senior who recorded 59 tackles and 4 TFL (as well as 2 interceptions), junior cornerback Daniel Robertson, who recorded 59 tackles as well as one each TFL, sack, and interception, and freshman cornerback Michael Davis, who in only eight games made 17 tackles. Junior Skye Povey, seniors Mike Hague and Blake Morgan, and sophomore Manoa Pikula also contributed to the defensive backfield, though did not start in the last game of the season.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies
Former Washington quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo, who during the season served as the team's quarterbacks coach, was named the Huskies' interim head coach after Steve Sarkisian left the team to return to the USC Trojans, where he previously served as offensive coordinator. The announcement came after Washington closed its regular season on a two-game winning streak including defeating arch-rival Washington State in the Apple Cup. Prior to that, they had lost four of their previous six games, including three losses to top-15 teams (#13 UCLA, #5 Stanford, #2 Oregon). They won their first four games of the season.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies
In total, their record entering the bowl game was 8–4. Prior to the bowl game, it was announced that former Boise State head coach Chris Petersen, whom an associate athletic director characterized as a "dream hire", agreed to be Washington's next head coach, however he would not coach in the bowl game.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies, Offense
Coordinated during the season by Eric Kiesau, the Huskies offensive staff was shaken up after the departure of Sarkisian – Tuiasosopo, who during the season was quarterbacks coach, was promoted to interim head coach, and Johnny Nansen, who during the season was running backs coach and special teams coordinator, departed to USC with Sarkisian; all other coaches remained in the same capacity for the bowl game. On the field, senior quarterback Keith Price recorded 20 touchdown passes to just 5 interceptions, while passing for 2843 yards.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies, Offense
Though the passing game was successful, the offense was anchored by a strong rushing game, whose 243.1 rushing yards per game was 14th in the country entering the game. That rushing game was led by Doak Walker Award finalist Bishop Sankey, who "exceeded the hype this year and has been a workhorse back"; he recorded 1775 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns, as well as 25 receptions for 298 yards and another touchdown. Freshman Dwayne Washington, junior Deontae Cooper, and junior Jesse Callier, all running backs, also contributed to the rushing attack.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies, Offense
A trio of wideouts were the top three receivers – senior Kevin Smith, who emerged at the beginning of the season as a spark for the team's offense and totaled 45 receptions for 722 yards and 4 touchdowns, sophomore Jaydon Mickens, who recorded 62 receptions for 681 yards and 5 touchdowns, and junior Kasen Williams, who caught 29 receptions for 421 yards and a touchdown.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies, Offense
Junior Austin Seferian-Jenkins, a 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) 276 pounds (125 kg) "tight end that plays like a wide receiver", regressed from his 2012 campaign in which he caught 69 passes, but still managed to reel in 33 passes for 413 yards and 7 touchdowns. Senior Travis Coons handled the kicking game, and made 58 of 59 extra point attempts, and 14 of 15 field goal attempts, with a long of 48 yards. The Huskies' offensive line was more stable than in 2012, as it returned all five starters, however they were not effective in 2012, but did improve in 2013. Sophomore left guard Dexter Charles, junior center Mike Criste, and left tackle Micah Hatchie each earned honorable mention all-Pac-12 honors.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies, Defense
Thrown into shambles by Sarkisian's departure, the Huskies' defensive staff still featured Justin Wilcox as defensive coordinator, despite his candidacy for various other coaching positions as well as to move with Sarkisian to USC, and Tosh Lupoi as defensive line coach, though like Wilcox, he was rumored to be heading with Sarkisian to USC, but had a large buyout in his contract, while secondary coach Keith Heyward and linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator Peter Sirmon both left for USC. the latter of whom "without a doubt" fostered strong play from linebackers.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies, Defense
Senior linebacker Princeton Fuimaono led the defense with 76 tackles and 3 tackles for loss (TFL), while sophomore linebacker Shaq Thompson was a close second with 70 tackles, adding 4 TFL (he earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors), and junior linebacker John Timu rounded out the corps and finished third on the defense with 63 tackles and 2.5 TFL. Sophomore Travis Feeney also contributed. On the defensive line, Hawaiian end Hau'oli Kikaha was fourth on the defense with 61 tackles, and led the defense with 12.5 TFL and 10 sacks; he received second-team All-Pac-12 honors.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies, Defense
Cory Littleton, a sophomore who was listed as a linebacker, started at defensive end and was sixth on the defense with 58 tackles, adding 9.5 TFL and 5 sacks. Danny Shelton, a 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) 327 pounds (148 kg) junior, started every game in the interior at nose tackle, and totaled 52 tackles, 3.5 TFL, and 2 sacks. The Huskies' defensive backfield featured two preeminent starters.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Teams, Washington Huskies, Defense
At safety, two-time team captain senior Sean Parker, an honorable mention all-conference honoree, recorded 60 tackles, fifth on the team, 3.5 TFL, a sack, and was second on the defense with 4 interceptions. He was joined by fellow senior Will Shamburger, who totaled 47 tackles. At cornerback, sophomore Marcus Peters achieved second-team all-conference honors; he led the defense with 5 interceptions, also recording 53 tackles and deflecting 14 passes. Joining him at cornerback was senior Gregory Ducre, who started every game of the season.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, First quarter
The game, which was the first FBS game to feature two female officials, commenced with BYU receiving the opening kickoff and, after running six plays that netted 21 yards, punting. After the punt, Washington (WASH) embarked on a 12-play, 71-yard drive that encapsulated 3:57, was highlighted by a 17-yard pass from Keith Price to Austin Seferian-Jenkins that converted a 3rd down and 16, and culminated with an 11-yard touchdown run by Bishop Sankey to open up a 7–0 advantage.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, First quarter
After the teams' exchanged punts, BYU tried to convert a fourth down despite the fact that they were deep in their own territory, and ultimately turned the ball over on downs, only to have Washington subsequently do the same (turn the ball over on downs once again) while trying to convert a fourth down inside the 5-yard line. At the end of the first quarter, Washington retained their 7-point lead.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, Second quarter
At the end of the first quarter, BYU started a drive that occurred predominantly in the second quarter, and came to fruition when Taysom Hill rushed for a 1-yard touchdown, which, after the extra point was made, tied the game at seven. The tie did not last long, however, as on the ensuing kickoff, WASH's John Ross returned BYU's Justin Sorensen's kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, putting the Huskies back on top, 14–7.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, Second quarter
On BYU's ensuing drive, this time one that lasted 10 plays, netting 48 yards, Sorensen kicked a 45-yard field goal to pull the Cougars within four points. They had the ball again after a quick three-and-out by Washington, and once again ran more than 10 plays, this time running 11 for a total of 51 yards and another Sorensen field goal, this time a 31-yard kick.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, Second quarter
Hoping to avoid another long kickoff return, Sorensen's kickoff was a short one, but the plan backfired when Washington's Jesse Callier, typically a backup running back, returned the kickoff 47 yards, allowing the Huskies to start their drive at the BYU 35-yard line. Four plays later, Sankey rushed for his second 11-yard touchdown of the game, making the score 21–13. Subsequently, BYU executed 12 plays, en route to Sorensen kicking his third field goal of the quarter as the first half's time expired, thus making the halftime score 21–16.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, Third quarter
WASH received the second half's opening kickoff, and Ross returned the kick to the 38-yard line, from which they began a 10-play, 62-yard drive that ended with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Price to Seferian-Jenkins that made the score 28–16. That was the only score of the quarter. After the drive, the teams exchanged punts twice before Price threw an interception to BYU's Robertson Daniel; BYU thus had the ball to start their drive at the Washington 26-yard line. They failed to gain any yardage, and settled for a Sorensen field goal attempt, but he missed the 44-yard try, giving the ball back to the Huskies, who failed to score, and punted back to BYU, who was amidst a drive at the conclusion of the third quarter.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, Fourth quarter
BYU opened the final quarter of play by punting. After exchanging three-and-outs with BYU, Washington, who had backup quarterback Cyler Miles and Callier at running back in the game rather than Price and Sankey, who exited due to a rib injury and hand injury respectively, moved down the field in 9 plays totaling 39 yards, entering field goal range, and scoring when Travis Coons made a 45-yard field goal to put the Huskies on top by 15 with 7:53 to play.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, Fourth quarter
BYU turned the ball over on their next two possessions, the first time on downs, the second due to an interception (between the two, WASH punted), allowing WASH to nearly run out the clock at the end of the game, relinquishing the ball on downs back to BYU with 44 seconds left. The Cougars failed to score at the end of the game, and ultimately, Washington won 31–16.


2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Game summary, Broadcast
ESPN broadcast the game to a national live viewing audience. Dave Pasch disseminated play-by-play, former quarterback Brian Griese handled analysis, and recruiting guru Tom Luginbill was the sideline reporter.

2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, Postgame effects
Washington advanced to a record of 9–4. Soon after the game, both running back Bishop Sankey, who was a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who won the John Mackey Award declared their intentions to forgo their final seasons and enter the 2014 NFL Draft. Conversely, however, prior to the draft, defensive tackle Danny Shelton, whom draft analysts speculated would be an "under-the-radar prospect to watch in 2014", announced his intentions to return to school for the 2014 season. BYU fell to a record of 8–5 with the loss. After the game, some BYU fans lobbied for the dismissal of BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall via a trending topic on Twitter. The end of the season was "disappointing" for the Cougars, however there was still some reason for excitement among fans, due to a strong recruiting class.
