Can they do it again?
Two years ago, the Huskies went to Pullman for the 109th Apple Cup and ripped the Pac-12 North title away from the Cougars in a rollicking 45-17 victory at Martin Stadium. Washington went on to win its first Pac-12 championship in 16 years and secure its first College Football Playoff berth.
As the rivalry returns to Pullman for Friday’s Apple Cup, the setup is remarkably similar. Except, this time it’s Washington State playing for its first conference championship in 16 years and trying to secure its first trip to the College Football Playoff.
