25 Washington Huskies (7-4, 5-3) 38 @ Colorado Buffaloes (1-10, 1-7) – Fear not Colorado the season is almost over and you can fully enjoy basketball season. Keith Price was an efficient 22-of-29 for 248 yards throwing for five scores in the Huskies big win. Next up is the Apple Cup for Washington who has a chance at eight wins.

Washington State Cougars (2-9, 0-8) 7 @ Arizona State Sun Devils (6-5, 4-4) 46 – 561 yards put up by Todd Graham’s offense on Saturday afternoon. More importantly ASU got win number six and will be bowling in year one of Graham’s tenure in Tempe. Taylor Kelly was 20-of-23, 246 yards with four passing TD’s.
