Washington football: Scouting Week 10 opponent Oregon Ducks

Washington football will go head-to-head with the Oregon Ducks in Week 10.

The Washington football program has had one of the worst seasons that it has seen in a long time. It’s honestly a bit dumbfounding to think that this team has somehow found a way to win half of their games, but here they are sitting at 4-4 overall and 3-2 in the Pac-12.

The Huskies have four games remaining on the 2021 schedule and despite a season full of turbulence, they are still in the hunt for bowl game eligibility.

The program’s next game won’t bring them any sort of break as they head back home to take on the Oregon Ducks on Saturday, November 6th.
