No. 6 Washington is seeking a fourth straight win over cross-state rival No. 23 Washington State in Friday’s Apple Cup.

UW’s Keys to the Game

Limit turnovers, mistakes and penalties

The first rule in winning a big game – especially on the road in a hostile environment – is not beating yourself. In last year’s 45-10 win over Washington State, the Huskies forced seven turnovers (five fumbles and two interceptions) and the Cougars never had a chance.
