No. 17 Washington Struggles on Offense but Pulls Out 24-10 Apple Cup Win over Washington State
Demond Williams Jr. threw for 268 yards and a touchdown as Washington overcame two missed field goals by Washington State.
- On Sunday, the Washington Huskies defeated the Washington State Cougars 24-10 in the 118th Apple Cup at Husky Stadium, with quarterback Demond Williams Jr. leading the offense in the season opener.
- The rivalry dates to 1900 and has survived significant structural changes; Washington moved to the Big Ten while Washington State remains in the Pac-12, yet both schools agreed to continue playing through 2028.
- Revenue sharing and NIL deals have created a financial landscape where Big Ten schools spend an average of $48.2 million on rosters, significantly widening the resource gap between the conference and programs like the Cougars.
- Transfer quarterback Caden Pinnick threw for 142 yards during head coach Kirby Moore's debut, though the Cougars missed two field goals that could have narrowed the 24-10 deficit.
- Beyond the current five-year agreement expiring after 2028, future Apple Cup matchups remain uncertain as the resource gap between schools could grow into what analysts describe as a 'Grand Canyon' in the evolving college football landscape.
