Whenever it’s Oregon week, it’s a huge game for Washington football, no matter what either team’s record is. This year, both teams just so happen to be ranked, and the Huskies are playing to stay alive in the Pac-12 North. The Ducks are currently the 12th ranked team in the country, while the Huskies snuck back into the rankings this week at 25th.
Something that should be noted is that the two losses on the Husky schedule, both came to teams that Oregon beat, even though that was the game where Cal quarterback Chase Garbers hurt his shoulder.
