SALT LAKE CITY — And you thought Auburn was a big game.
The No. 10 Huskies are back on the road this weekend for their Pac-12 Conference opener against Utah, a game that suddenly has make-or-break implications for the Huskies’ College Football Playoff hopes.
The 21-16 loss to then-No. 9 Auburn two weeks ago in Atlanta leaves the Huskies with almost no margin for error when it comes to the playoff discussion, and they’re hardly easing into conference play.
“You’re building throughout the year, but certainly these first few games you just really feel like you’ve got some things to work on,” UW coach Chris Petersen said.
