On Saturday, the Washington Huskies suffered a frustrating 24-19 loss to the Washington State Cougars. The 116th Apple Cup didn’t exactly go the way any Washington Husky fan could have hoped for.

It’s a disappointing and somewhat unexpected setback for the Huskies. And while it’s far from being the end of the world (or spelling gloom and doom for the 2024 Washington Husky football season, this loss does raise a few different questions about what the rest of the year might look like for Fisch and his Huskies.
