Washington entered Thanksgiving weekend still very much in control of their own playoff destiny, but hoping to get some help in establishing some breathing room. How did it go?
Well, let’s put it in Thanksgiving Dinner terms. The Apple Pie was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. However, the bird was overdone, the stuffing was too dry, and your mother shamed you into taking on an extra helping of Aunt Joan’s green bean casserole.
The Huskies took care of their business in convincing fashion against the Washington State Cougars in the Apple Cup. Their 45-17 victory was completed in exactly the right manner to support UW’s claim that at least so far, they have dominated their conference schedule in a manner superior to any other potential Power 5 conference champion.
