Apple Cup 2022 Preview
While No. 12 Washington (9-2) can’t make the Pac-12 Conference title game with a win on Saturday night, the Huskies have plenty to play for.
“I think that’s the unique thing about here at UW is just a lot of times you have one rivalry that just is above and beyond any other game,” Huskies head coach Kalen DeBoer said via Seattle Sports 710 AM. “And yes, I think some fans will pick one and some fans will pick the other, but this one is huge against Washington State. It meant a lot to beat Oregon, and it means an awful lot to beat Washington State.”
The Huskies can avenge last year’s loss to Washington State (7-4) in the Apple Cup rivalry game where the Cougars dominated 40-13. It snapped a seven-game series winning streak by the Huskies.
Washington, which sits at No. 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings, realistically won’t make the playoffs but can improve its bowl game invitation with a win. The Huskies can also finish the regular season in a tie for second place in the Pac-12 though Utah owns the tiebreaker.
First, the Huskies need to beat a Cougars team that comes into Saturday’s game with three-straight wins. The Cougars beat Arizona 31-20 on November 19 after a 28-18 win against Arizona State and a rout over Stanford, 52-14.
“They’ve got a great football team all around. It’s not just about their defense,” DeBoer said via 710 AM. “The quarterback can sling it and they’ve got playmakers on the outside, too. It’s going to be a battle. It’s going to be a lot of fun. There’ll be a lot of momentum swings, but I think that’s really where it starts with them.”
Washington has a five-game winning streak on the line, a turnaround from back-to-back losses at midseason. The Huskies routed Colorado 54-7 on November 19 after tight wins over Oregon, Oregon State, and California the previous three weeks.
Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has been solid all season with 3,869 yards and 26 touchdowns versus six interceptions. Running backs Wayne Taulapapa and Cameron Davis provide a strong one-two punch in the backfield.
Cougars quarterback Cameron Ward leads the offense with 2,772 yards and 21 touchdowns versus eight interceptions. Ward also has four rushing touchdowns this season.
“Let’s be clear, this is not just another game — I want to make sure that is clear,” Cougars head coach Jake Dickert said via 247 Sports. “Our guys know the importance of it, we understand it. But at the end of the day, it is about your approach of how you handle those things.”
