Oregon State at Washington

The Huskies have had this game circled since Oregon State took a cheap hit on a Washington player that knocked him out of the game last year. For a winless team, it gives them something they haven't had all season - a reason to come out and play hard and over their heads. It's a reason to rise above the mediocrity that has been the trademark of their season. For all practical purposes, this game is their season. Oregon State has been playing much better, but it would be easy to see them come into this game thinking they just have to show up to notch the win. We saw a similar circumstance earlier this year when we jumped on Oregon State vs. USC. I would expect that every player on the Huskies team will be treating this one like their Bowl game. Here we are getting two TDs on a highly motivated home team playing with a serious revenge motive and chip on their shoulder. They are facing a team that may not have interest to boot.
