No. 15 Washington is back in control of its destiny in the Pac-12 North race heading into Saturday's matchup at California.
Washington (6-2, 4-1 Pac-12) is coming off a 27-13 home win against Colorado, a nice bounce-back game following an overtime loss at Oregon. And when the Ducks lost at Washington State on Saturday night, the Huskies elevated to a half-game lead in the North.
Washington State and Stanford are 3-1 in conference play. Oregon is 2-2.
"There's just so much football left to be played," Huskies coach Chris Petersen said Monday, his team still facing games against the Cougars and Cardinal in November.
