Early in the fourth quarter Friday night, Washington State had a second-and-8 play from its 48-yard line. Washington didn’t bother disguising what it was about to do with its defensive front.
The Huskies, as they have most often done in the last five Apple Cups, were going to rush just three defenders at Gardner Minshew.
In this case, outside linebacker Tevis Bartlett lined up on the right side of the defensive line in a three-point stance. Nose tackle Greg Gaines was in the middle, and redshirt freshman outside linebacker Joe Tryon was crouched on the left side, is right hand touching the snow.
