Apple cup preview

Article By: ssi7698

Washington Huskies
Washington comes into the matchup as one of the new teams in the Big 10, boasting a high-powered offense and a defense that thrives under pressure. Led by a seasoned quarterback and a disciplined coaching staff, the Huskies have their eyes on a major bowl appearance. Their offensive line is stout, and their secondary is among the best in the country.

Washington State Cougars
Washington State, never to be underestimated, brings their trademark grit and explosive air-raid offense to the table. Hoping to build off last seasons success, the Cougars always bring extra fire when the Apple Cup is on the line. Look for them to air it out and try to stretch the field early and often.

Key Matchups
QB Duel: The battle under center will be critical, with both teams likely leaning on experienced signal-callers to make big plays.

Defensive Pressure: Whichever defense can create turnovers and pressure the QB consistently could swing the game.

Crowd Energy: No matter where it’s played, expect a rowdy, split crowd full of purple and crimson.

Intangibles
Rivalry games are unpredictable, and emotion often plays a bigger role than rankings or records. The Huskies might be favorites on paper, but the Cougars have spoiled the party before—and they’ll be hungry to do it again.
