SEATTLE -- It stands that the real test of No. 5 Washingtons validity as a playoff contender is about to begin.The warm ups for the Huskies are done.As we head down the stretch here its not always going to be like this with the teams we have coming and there is stuff to talk about and work on, Washington coach Chris Petersen said.Jake Browning threw three touchdown passes to give him 26 for the season, added another rushing TD, and Huskies used a big first half to roll past Oregon State 41-17 on Saturday.After a week off, the Huskies (7-0, 4-0 Pac-12) easily outworked the undermanned Beavers (2-5, 1-3) despite a performance that gives Petersen plenty to work on heading into a schedule thats about to get more difficult.While getting past Stanford and Oregon earlier this season were important moments for the Huskies, it turns out they were not the tests to prove Washingtons worth. The schedule gets more difficult beginning next week with a trip to No. 19 Utah, followed by a road game at California, with USC, Arizona State and a trip to Washington State still looming on the schedule.We were just paying attention to Oregon State. When Utah comes up, well think about Utah, Washington safety Budda Baker said. We know Utah is a great team.The Huskies won their 10th straight, a streak that started with a victory at Oregon State last season. It is Washingtons longest win streak since winning 12 straight during the 2000-01 seasons.And they continue to dominate the first half. Washington put away this expected blowout early, jumping to a 21-0 lead after one quarter and leading 31-0 at halftime. Washington has now outscored opponents 100-7 in the first quarter and 200-24 in the first half this season.We came out pretty hot, Washington wide receiver John Ross said. We had a great week of practice and those are the kind of weeks that we need to stay consistent.Browning led the attack, even if his completion percentage wasnt up to the standard he set through the first six games when he led the country hitting 72 percent of his throws. Browning threw touchdowns of 19 yards to Aaron Fuller and 23 yards to Dante Pettis sandwiched around his own 1-yard TD run in the first quarter.Browning added a 41-yard touchdown pass to Pettis in the third quarter. Browning finished 14 of 28 for 291 yards and Petersen said part of the game plan was to take more shots downfield leading to the lower completion percentage.Ross had 115 yards receiving and Pettis added 112 yards -- both with four catches -- giving the Huskies two receivers with more than 100 yards for the first time since 2002.The depleted Beavers started third-string quarterback Marcus McMaryion after Darell Garretson and Conor Blount were injured. McMaryion was 12 of 26 for 148 yards and two interceptions.The Beavers were also without starting running back Ryan Nall due to a foot injury aggravated in last weeks loss to Utah. Tim Cook had 108 yards rushing and a late TD, while Victor Bolden Jr. had a 75-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.If you watch college football or care about defense of care about the Pac-12 on defense you know how good those guys are up front and they are elite, Oregon State coach Gary Andersen said of Washingtons defense.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Huskies should move up at least one spot from No. 5 after No. 2 Ohio States loss to Penn State. An impressive win at Utah next week might be enough to sway some voters for a spot even higher.THE TAKEAWAYOregon State: The Beavers came in with the second-best pass defense in the Pac-12 giving up just 179.5 yards per game. But Washington attacked from the start and exposed holes in what has been a very good secondary.Washington: Injuries could be a concern going into next week against Utah. Washington played without starting DE Joe Mathis, the team leader with five sacks. Mathis was on the sideline during the game but his absence left Washington undersized on the end of its defensive line. Connor OBrien started in place of Mathis.RUNNING AWAYOne bright spot for Washingtons offense was the performance by Myles Gaskin. After breaking out for 197 yards rushing against Oregon, Gaskin followed up with 128 yards on 18 carries, most of that coming in just over a quarter. Gaskin had just two carries for 15 yards in the first quarter and by the middle of the third quarter had his third straight 100-yard game.WASHINGTON FIXTURESince 1961, Frazer Cook has been the voice of the University of Washington band for any football game where the entire band is performing, home, away and bowl games. Cook, 74, missed his first game in 55 years on Saturday. The school Cook was ill but did not provide any specifics.UP NEXT:Oregon State: The Beavers return home to host Washington State.Washington: The Huskies head to Salt Lake City for a showdown with No. 19 Utah.

LOUIS -- St. LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Olympic leaders asked the World Anti-Doping Agency on Saturday to oversee a global system for tackling drug cheats with more power to punish failing organizations.After the IOC hosted a meeting of world sports officials, it upheld WADAs future role after months of strained relations amid fallout from the agencys call to ban Russia from the Rio de Janeiro Games because of state-backed doping.The Olympic body called for WADA to lead a more robust, more efficient, more transparent and more harmonized anti-doping system, and promised more finance for the agency if it passed reforms.WADA is now set to get substantial additional powers, the agencys president Craig Reedie told reporters after a four-hour closed-door meeting.Reedie said a new testing authority -- taking control of when and where athletes are tested from international and domestic sports federations -- could operate in time for the 2018 Winter Olympics.Sports governing bodies are also set to lose control of banning athletes who dope -- with the Lausanne-based Court of Arbitration for Sport to gain sanctioning powers.WADA was asked to discuss the proposals at board meetings on Nov. 19-20 in Glasgow, Scotland.Olympic leaders have long favored taking control of drug testing from sports federations, and most of the proposals made Saturday repeated calls from a previous summit held in Lausanne one year ago.However, WADAs possiblee role in a revamped and more independent system has been questioned since it appointed two investigations that detailed Russian doping and cover-ups.ddddddddddddSaturdays meeting went ahead despite a final report of the second WADA investigation panel, led by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren, not being due until at least late-October.McLarens interim report in July provoked calls by WADA for Russias expulsion from the Rio Games -- which IOC president Thomas Bach resisted -- and his final document should go into more detail of how a WADA-accredited laboratory manipulated home athletes tainted samples at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games.Still, there was no mention of Russia or McLaren in the three-page document issued Saturday by the IOC.The IOC made clear that WADA must seek to earn an increase on its annual budget of about $27 million, paid equally by the Olympic movement and national governments.The increase in financing depends on the implementation of the reforms by WADA and is based on the results provided by WADA after the review of the anti-doping system, the IOC statement said.A new WADA investigations unit started work this month, led by a German former detective who worked on the first Russian investigation that focused on state-backed doping and cover-ups in track and field.
