If Washington have been a faceless opponent, then this recreation may very well be put within the class of a Wisconsin, nevertheless it’s a rivalry recreation, so the stakes are raised. Whereas any recreation between the Geese and Huskies is intriguing, I’m undecided that Oregon could have a lot bother with this Washington workforce. After a visit to the nationwide championship recreation final 12 months, the fall-off has been drastic beneath Jedd Fisch in 2024. Washington received blown out by Iowa final week, dropping 40-16, and so they’re 4-3 on the 12 months with a formidable win over Michigan, however brutal losses to Washington State, Rutgers, and the Hawkeyes.

You throw out the purpose unfold in a rivalry, however the expertise disparity on this matchup is certain to be vast.
