Washington State announced Monday afternoon that the 2021 Apple Cup will kick off at 5:00 pm on Friday, November 26th and can be seen on FS1. For the first time in two years the Cougars and the Huskies will line up across from each other. The 2020 Apple Cup was ultimately cancelled due to Covid.
The Huskies, fighting for bowl eligibility, dropped to 4-5 this past weekend against Oregon in a 26-16 game that ultimately got their offensive coordinator, John Donovan, fired and their head coach, Jimmy Lake, suspended for a game without pay. The Huskies will host Arizona State this weekend and will head to Colorado next weekend.
