Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. went 13-28 for 162 yards and two touchdowns, also rushing for 22 yards and a score. Wideout Rome Odunze had another solid game, hauling in seven passes for 106 yards and two TDs.

On the other side, the Cougars are coming off a dominant 56-14 win over the Colorado Buffaloes on November 17.
Washington State quarterback Cam Ward completed 18-of-30 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns, also adding two scores on the ground. Wideout Josh Kelly chipped in with six catches for 130 yards.
Defensively, the Cougars held Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado offense to just 255 yards and 3.8 yards per play in the victory.
