As someone who spent 99.3 percent of his life in the state of Kansas, my first week in the Pacific Northwest falls on the same week as one of my favorite rivalries in all of college football. As the kids would say #Blessed.
On Saturday at Autzen Stadium, the Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies do battle for the 111th time. Both teams are ranked and there are Pac-12 title and New Year’s Six bowl implications for this showdown in Eugene.
There are plenty of interesting subplots (The Point, revistied) and standout players (Jake Browning and Justin Herbert).
