Yes Another Big College Football Weekend

The Seattle Seahawks have this weekend off after beating up the Oakland Raiders last Sunday in London 27-3 however the Washington Huskies are playing the Colorado Buffaloes and the Washington State Cougars are at home against the Oregon Ducks.

The Huskies have to rebound after losing to the Ducks in overtime in Eugene Oregon. The Huskies are still on top of the North Division of the Pac-12 Conference. Right now they are in a tie with Stanford Cardinal who beat Arizona State on Thursday at 3-1. The Ducks and the Cougars are tied right behind the Huskies and Cardinal with a record of 2-1. The Huskies have to have win to stay on top of the north division while the winner between the Cougars and Ducks tie the Cardinal. It is important for the Huskies to win since the Ducks beat them last Saturday. Also the Huskies like the Cougars to beat the Ducks to stay ahead of them. If that happens both the Huskies and Cougars win out until the Apple Cup at the end of October the winner would take the north division and play the winner of the south division for the Pac-12 championship. 

It wouldn't be an easy task for either the Huskies or the Cougars this weekend. Both the Colorado and Oregon are doing well. Colorado has a 2-1 conference record as well and are second place in the south division behind USC Trojans so they will want to keep up with them as well. 

The Huskies have injuries so they will have to depend on some of their backup players to step up as well. Myles Gaskin who went out of the game against Oregon may not play against Colorado but do have some good running backs behind him. Jake Browning will need the offensive line block so he can get the ball to receivers like Aaron Fuller who had only two catches against the Ducks. Fuller is the Huskies number one receiver this year. 

Anyway we are rooting for the Huskies and Cougars get the job done. Next week the Seahawks will take on the Lions in Detroit. Thanks for a great game in London Seahawks. They will have to continue playing well to make the playoffs. In their remaining ten games they are playing against seven teams vying for the playoffs. Go Huskies, Cougars and Hawks.
