It was always going to come to this. The Washington Football team season hinges upon how well the team performs against the Stanford Cardinals. Its tough to place the success of the 2017 Washington football season in one game, but there it is.
Win and rise higher in national rankings and prestige. Lose and diminish to the afterthought teams.
The reason this game is so very important to the program lies in two facts. One, the Washington Football team was shocked by the loss at the hands of the Arizona State Sun Devils. That means the team cannot afford to lose any more games if they hope to be invited to the NCAA Playoffs this year.
