The Huskies will attempt to become bowl eligible with a win over the Washington State Cougars in this year’s battle for the Apple Cup.

What a season the Cougars have had, a train wreck for the most part but there were a few splashes of hope sprinkled about for Paul Wulff and his team. After winning its opener, Wazzou went on a downward spiral but showed small improvements as the season went along culminating in a win a November 15 victory over Oregon State, which helped the team snap a 16-game conference losing streak.

For the Cougars to make it three victories in the last four meeting of the Apple Cup (the Huskies lead the all-time series 65-31-6), quarterback Jeff Tuel will need to bring his A-game. Tuel has had a ho-hum year completing just 58.6 percent of his passes for 2,842 yards with 15 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. He is the scoring leader as running back James Montgomery and Logwone Mitz, as well as WR Jared Karstetter have just for more TDS all combined. That lack of offensive punch is the primary reason the Cougs is averaging just 18.8 points per game.

A bad as the offense has been the Wazzou defense may be worse allowing 40 plus points four times this season and over 30 another two times. They have shown improvement alongside the offense however, surrendering just 20 or less their last two times out.

As for the Huskies, they are just a win away from a bowl game, which would be a major accomplishment for a team that went winless just two years ago. The Huskies were optimistic when the season began and a lot of those were riding on returning senior quarterback Jake Locker.  But injuries and ineffectiveness have hampered Locker’s play and his Heisman quest as he has thrown for 1,983 yards and 15 touchdown passes to go along with eight interceptions. He has also rushed for the third most yards on the team with 273 yards and four touchdown rushes behind team leader RB Chris Polk who needs just 46 yards to go over 1,000 for the season and he has six touchdowns.

Jermaine Kearse has been Locker’s No. 1 leading receiver with 823 yards on 56 catches and D’Andre Goodwin has 39 catches for 471 yards and four touchdowns.

Defensively the Huskies seem to have improved over their last two games, yielding seven and 13 points, both of them wins. For the season, the defense is allowing 35.9 points and 457.5 yards per game. So it’s a big improvement.

Washington State is 6-1 against the spread in their last seven Pac-10 games, while Washington is 2-7 against the spread in their last nine games as a road favorite.

I think the Cougars have a shot to pull the upset here, but Washington is the safe pick to cover the spread.

One reply on “2010 Apple Cup: UW vs. WSU Gambling & Week 14 Prediction”

Jeff Tuel is still an underclassmen and has some size and tools to be an effective Pac-10 pivot, but I’d say that’s still in the gestation period yet. Locker has been pretty disappointing but with a team as pathetic as the Cougars, I like the pick here.
