On Saturday night, under the lights at Husky Stadium, the most underrated rivalry in college football will be played. It doesn’t have the same level of hoopla or acclaim as Alabama vs. Auburn or Michigan vs. Ohio State, but the rivalry maintains the same level of unapologetic hatred between both teams and fan bases. As cliche as it may sound, there is no love lost between either side.
This visceral scorn shared by both sides spans over a hundred years, well before Kenny Wheaton’s pick. When the Ducks and Huskies first clashed on the gridiron, Benjamin Harrison was the president of the United States.
