Huskies

“Count on the Pac-12's top two defenses to live up to the billing on a cold, wet night at Husky Stadium. The Huskies' defense hasn't allowed 300 yards through the air in almost two years, and Luke Falk has yet to challenge the UW secondary.”

Cougars

“Sure, a 10-win season could motivate UW, but WSU has more to play for in this one. The 20-man senior class has never beaten the Huskies, and they know that a win on Saturday would buy them passage to the Pac-12 championship game against USC. That will drive them. Also, the Cougars’ defense is much-improved this year, and with the pass-rushing tandem of Hercules Mata’afa and Frankie Luvu on the field, WSU could cause problems for Jake Browning and his decimated receiving corps.”

Cougars

“Mike Leach hasn’t beaten the Huskies since 2012, and Chris Petersen has never lost to the Cougars, but this year Washington State has more to play for – a berth in the Pac-12 title game – and will win a squeaker. The Cougars have been blown out in the Apple Cup by a combined 121-40 margin over the past three years, but their defense is vastly improved, and the Huskies aren’t quite what they could have been because of injuries.”

Huskies

“Until I see Wazzu do it, I have to give the edge to the Huskies, who have less to play for but would love to play spoiler. Look for Jake Browning to have another clutch day.”
