Washington is currently on a five game win streak in the Apple Cup, dating back to 2013. washington State will have home field advantage in this years’ meeting and also have a much better team compared to recent years.
Washington Huskies
Washington was the favorite this year to represent the PAC-12 in the College Football Playoff. That went south quickly as they lost their opener to Auburn. They do however have a chance to clinch the PAC-12 North with a win over their rivals. Even though the Huskies have two conferences losses, a win would make them tied with the Cougars and the head to head tiebreaker would push the Huskies into the championship game next weekend.
Washington has struggled at times on offense this year, which is why they only score an average of 28 points per game. If they are going to win this game, they will likely need to score in the 30’s to keep up with the Cougars explosive offense.

The Huskies actually have one of the better defenses in the country in terms of points per game. They allow an average of 16.6, which has them ranked at 11th. They will need to focus on shutting down the pass offense of the Cougars as this is the strength of the Washington State offense.
Washington State Cougars
It all comes down to one game for the Cougars. If they win they will face Utah in the PAC-12 championship game. If they lose they will watch their in-state rival claim the Apple Cup for the sixth straight year and Washington will play Utah next week.
For the Cougars it is all about Gardner Minshew. He has thrown for 4325 yards this year, which has led the Cougars to the top passing offense in the entire country. If Minshew can lead this team to a win, it will go a long way towards a possible Heisman for the Cougars quarterback and a possible berth in the College Football Playoffs.

The Cougars defense has been overall solid this season. They allow 22.6 points per game and since the Huskies do not have a great offense, the Cougars should be able to shut the Huskies down without too much issue.
