The Washington State Cougars and the Washington Huskies will meet for the Apple Cup on Saturday afternoon.

This old-school rivalry dates back to November 30, 1900. The Huskies lead the all-time series 73-32-6 and have won this Apple Cup contest in back-to-back seasons.

The Huskies program has seen a lot of change since reaching the College Football National Championship a year ago. Former head coach Kalen Deboer took over at Alabama. The departure opened up an opportunity for former Arizona Head Coach Jedd Fisch.
