The Huskies haven’t been this good in 15 years.
The Ducks haven’t been this bad in nearly a decade.
Such is the backdrop for the return of the Northwest’s most fierce rivalry game Saturday at Eugene’s Autzen Stadium (4:30 p.m., FOX).
No. 5 Washington is 5-0 and coming off a 44-6 thrashing of Stanford. Oregon is 2-3 and wading through its first three-game losing streak in nine years.
Their convergence comes during a week in which the Huskies have entered the College Football Playoff picture and Oregon fans are clamoring for a coaching change.
