No. 8 Washington State can clinch Pac-12 with win over No. 16 Washington

The No. 16 Washington Huskies hope history repeats itself Friday while No. 8 Washington State wants to make history.

Two years ago, the Huskies traveled to Pullman, Wash., and claimed the Pac-12 North title away from the Cougars in a 45-17 victory. Washington would win its first Pac-12 championship in 16 years and secure its first College Football Playoff berth.

The 111th Apple Cup has the same scenario, except Washington State (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12) is playing for its first conference title in 16 years and its first trip to the College Football Playoff.

The Huskies (8-3, 6-2) are playing for their sixth consecutive victory over the Cougars while also trying to keep alive their Pac-12 title hopes.
