It feels like forever ago when the Washington Huskies hung 70 points on the UC Davis Aggies. A bye week has gone by, and it's time to ramp up again for some more Huskies football – especially against the rival Washington State Cougars.
Last season, Washington fell victim to its "little brother" in the Apple Cup, losing 24-19 in a game that was held at the home of the Seattle Seahawks, Lumen Field. Both teams have changed quite a bit since then, which should make this upcoming affair in Pullman an exciting one to watch.
