Washington intercepted two passes and dominated Washington State in the Apple Cup with a 31-13 victory Friday at Husky Stadium. Washington’s Jacob Eason threw for a touchdown and ran for another as the Huskies beat the Cougars for the 7th straight time.
It was Washington’s defense that made the difference, holding Anthony Gordon to 308-yards and a 5-yard average per completion, his lowest of the season.
WSU raced out to an early 7-0 lead on its opening drive of the game, capped off by a Max Borghi 1-yard touchdown run. But it was all Washington after that as the Huskies scored three touchdowns on the ground.
Washington improved to 7-5 with the victory while Washington State finished the regular season 6-6. Both teams are expected to receive an invitation for a post-season bowl game.

The Division leaders are still San Francisco, New Orleans, Green Bay and Dallas. But the Cowboys are just 6-and-6 with the Eagles just behind at 5-and-6. Seattle has the #1 Wild Card spot followed by the Vikings. But still lurking in the shadows are the Rams, Bears and Carolina Panthers. The next four weeks should prove very interesting.
