The Apple Cup

This Friday afternoon the Apple Cup between the Washington Huskies and the Washington State Cougars happens in Pullman.  This may be the biggest Apple Cup in the history of this rival since the winner will go on to play in the Pac-12 Championship.

In the case of the Huskies if they win the Apple Cup and the Pac-12 Championship they may play in the NCAA 4 team championship series to see who is determined to be number one in the country. On the other hand if the Cougars win both games they likely will play in the Rose Bowl game. So a lot is determined in this game. Who will win this game it is a toss-up at this point. The victory could come down to who plays the best game in the fourth quarter.  The Huskies have the best running attack between the two teams though the Cougars over the season have improved quite a bit over the season. The Cougars are known for their passing attack so they may have an edge. The Huskies have the better of the defense so this could be the difference in the game. The winner though will come down to the two quarterbacks in Jake Browning for the Huskies and Luke Falk for the Cougars. Both are outstanding quarterbacks so the win will come down to who has the best game of the day and that is anyone’s guess. If they both play outstanding like they are capable of the win could come to has the ball at the end of the game.

I will be rooting for the Huskies however it will be a great game whoever wins. I hope that this game will be one that we will be talking about for many years to come. Both teams that are talented and we hope to see the best.  Go Huskies!
