Washington Husky fans aren’t having much fun right now and that’s because the Huskies fell flat against the Washington State Cougars in the 2024 Apple Cup. Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies came into the 2024 Apple Cup with the chance to get a decent non-conference win over an in-state rival before heading into Big Ten play. 

But, unfortunately for Fisch and the Huskies, Washington State came out on top in a game chock full of mistakes and penalties for the Huskies. 

UW really had a chance to win this one, but those errors ended up dooming a team with plenty of potential. And unfortunately for Washington fans, the Huskies (and their fans) will get to hear about this loss for the foreseeable future (from neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family).

Thus is the peril that comes with losing an in-state rivalry. I mean, it just sucks sometimes.

There were plenty of things that went wrong in this game. The Huskies had issues all throughout when it came to trying to contain and slow down Wazzu’s offense (especially Cougars quarterback John Mateer, who was infuriating and admittedly a little thrilling to watch). 

All that said, it’s hard to tell exactly what went wrong without going a little more in depth into some of the stats from this neutral site rivalry game in Seattle. So, let’s take a look at a few alarming stats that show more of what ended up dooming the Washington Huskies in the 2024 Apple Cup.
