It’s rivalry week and that means we get to see the Washington Huskies head on down to Eugene to take on the Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium. This rivalry game seemed a bit more significant in the big picture back before the season began and it was unclear as to just how good this particular Washington Huskies team would be.
