Huskies' defense causes mixed reactions after performance in Apple Cup win

Related Topics: HUSKIES

The Washington Huskies' offense looks like it's more than worthy of being in conversations for the best in the nation, but the defensive side of the ball has proven to be a bit more inconsistent. The Huskies beat the rival Washington State Cougars in the 117th Apple Cup by a final of 59-24, but that score isn't exactly indicative of a completely dominant performance.

At halftime, the score was 24-10 with the Cougars set to return the second half's opening kickoff. They proceeded to score two touchdowns on their first two possessions of the third quarter, cutting the Washington lead to seven on both occasions.
