Week 13: Washington at Washington State
This is undeniably the Rotten Apple Cup. There hasn’t been a worse pairing for these once competitive Northwest rivals in the 100-game series. No matter how this game is sized up, the team that comes up short in this epic gains the unwanted distinction as one of college football’s all-time biggest losers.
Five burning questions: Week 13
There's big games all across the map in Week 13 and Athlon's editors answer questions about the Apple Cup, Oklahoma-Texas Tech andmore in this week's Five Burning Questions.
Goal Line Stand: Harrell is perfect for Raiders
With so little success in Texas Tech's football history, what Graham Harrell has done for that program can't be overlooked. That's why, if he leads the Red Raiders to victory at Oklahoma, Harrell should win the Heisman Trophy.
Pac-10: Favorites roll in Week 12
There was really no mystery to Pac-10 football over the weekend, with each of the five match-ups turning lopsided and decisive in some manner, even if some of the final margins didn’t indicate it.
Week 12: UCLA at Washington
Welcome back, Rick. Six years after Neuheisel left Washington under a dark cloud, he returns to Husky Stadium for the first time. If you think the boos have been loud for Ty Willingham’s winless Washington team, check the volume levels once the man known throughout Seattle as “Slick Rick” steps onto the field.
Goal Line Stand: Hiring right coach is tricky
These days, the cycle of looking for a new coach doesn’t begin in late November but in October. That extra time is valuable for athletic directors like Washington's Scott Woodward, who know full well that their own jobs often hinge on who they hire.
Pac-10: Milestones aplenty on the West Coast
It was a weekend of milestones across the Pac-10, with Arizona becoming bowl eligible for the first time in 10 seasons, Oregon State completing a sweep of the Los Angeles schools for just the second time in school history, Arizona State averting a school-record seventh setback in a row and Washington losing for a school-record 11th consecutive game.
Week 11: Arizona State at Washington
Tyrone Willingham and Dennis Erickson are supposed to have all the answers when it comes to coaching college football, but they’re scuffling in mind-boggling fashion as each enters Husky Stadium. Winner gets peace of mind, if only temporarily.
Five burning questions: Week 11
Athlon's editors debate whether it was time for Phillip Fulmer and Tennessee to part ways, if Texas Tech can run the table against the Oklahoma schools and more in this week's Five Burning Questions.
Goal Line Stand: Another BC-Mess
There is still plenty of football left to be played, but with so many deserving teams hanging around the national championship picture, Michael Bradley claims the BCS is once again is in the process of fouling up the season.
Week 10 National Notebook
Texas Tech pulled out a thrilling victory over hated rival Texas this week while Florida and Syracuse won big games as well. Mitch Light looks at these teams and more in the Week 10 version of his national notebook.
Pac-10: Beavers clinging to Rose Bowl hopes
There’s a widespread disparity between the top and the bottom teams in the conference. While the Washington schools remain abject embarrassments, USC, Cal and, yes, Oregon State come down the stretch as heavyweights, each tightly holding on to Rose Bowl hopes, none tighter than the Beavers.
Week 10: Washington at USC
The Trojans will throw a going-away party this weekend for Ty Willingham, but the lameduck Washington football coach shouldn’t expect any gifts. His Huskies are winless this season for a reason, and the last thing they want to do is play USC in Los Angeles.
Week 9 National Notebook
Teams of the week Penn State and Georgia picked up wins in marquee matchups while Texas Tech rolled over Kansas on the road. Mitch Light takes a look around the college football landscape in his Week 9 National Notebook.
Pac-10: Defense comes up big for USC
USC played like a championship caliber team when it needed to against Arizona this weekend while Oregon and Cal won conference games and Washington's Ty Willingham failed to defeat his former team.
Under The Radar: Week 9
The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC all have marquee match-ups this weekend. But the battle for Pac-10 supremacy will also take place in Tuscan, Arizona. Mike Stoops and Co. are set to take on the USC Trojans late Saturday night.
Week 9: Notre Dame at Washington
This won’t be a happy reunion for the embattled Ty Willingham on presumably a cold and wet night in Seattle as he sends a football team that will soon fire him up against the one that gave him a pink slip him four years ago.
Goal Line Stand: Bucks are back from the dead
When we last paid any kind of serious attention to Ohio State, the Buckeyes were getting savaged on the national stage by USC. Yep, Ohio State was dead. That all changed Saturday, when Ohio State ripped Michigan State and filled the nation’s fans with some dread: OSU wasn’t dead.
