Washington’s 26-14 loss to No. 6 Oregon was a demoralizing end to the 2025 regular season. Husky fans saw plenty to complain about on Saturday, but this year’s edition of the ‘Cascade Clash’ also included some moments to be proud of. Let’s take a look at the main takeaways from the Huskies’ Week 14 loss to the Ducks.
Positive: Washington’s run defense was excellent
Oregon entered Saturday’s game with an injury-flooded receiving corps, which led many to expect that the Ducks offense would get most of its yardage by running the ball. However, Washington shut down Oregon’s usually-explosive ground attack, holding the Ducks to just 106 yards on 42 carries.
