The stage is set for one of the greatest Apple Cup showdowns ever.
Jake Browning and the Washington Huskies rebounded from their only defeat of the season to pummel Arizona State 44-18 Saturday night before 65,467 at Husky Stadium, giving Washington its first 10-win season since 2000.
The No. 7 Huskies (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12), now tied with No. 20 Washington State atop the Pac-12 North standings, have a short turnaround before their trip to Pullman for the Apple Cup on Friday. This one shapes up to be as big as any of the 108 previous meetings between the in-state rivals.
