A quick emergency pod recaps the Washington Huskies piling up a near-record 703 yards of offense and 51 points to pull away from rival Washington State and reclaim the Apple Cup, keeping Oregon out of the Pac-12 championship game and keeping alive hopes of a New Year’s Six bowl appearance. One quick correction: UW’s 703 yards were the third-most in school history, behind 734 vs. San Jose State in 1996 and 704 at Cal in 2016.
