With Washington’s hopes of defending its 2016 Pac-12 championship already squashed, the Huskies simply wanted to play the role of spoiler against rival Washington State in Saturday’s Apple Cup.
Four takeaways and a monster night for running back Myles Gaskin later, the Huskies had spoiled plenty for the Cougs – in emphatic fashion.
Washington won its fifth straight Apple Cup, turning an early lead into a 41-14 victory at Husky Stadium over WSU. Gaskin led the way with a four-touchdown effort to go with 192 rushing yards.
WSU entered the game not only needing just a win to clinch the Pac-12 North Division and a berth in next week’s conference championship game, but an outside shot at sneaking into the College Football Playoff as the No.
