No. 12 Washington looks for payback vs Washington State

Washington and Washington State meet on Saturday night. Washington won the Apple Cup last year, but the team is motivated to reclaim it this year. The team with the most points will play in the Pac-12 championship game. Last year's victory was the biggest margin of victory in Apple cup history. It was also the end of a seven-game losing streak for Washington. For the Huskies, it was a turning point in their season. They are currently No. 12 in CFP rankings. If they win, they will go to the championship. Last season's defeat was painful for both teams.

Washington State is looking for revenge against the Huskies. Washington State has been more efficient since the return of Nakia Watson. The Apple Cup has seen memorable games in the past. The last four Apple Cups have been played in a year ending in 2. In 1982, the Cougars upset the Washington. They upset Washington 24-20 and denied Washington a berth in Rose Bowl. It was also in 2002, 2002 and 2012.
