No. 17 Washington survived offensive struggles to defeat Washington State 24-10 in the season-opening Apple Cup on Sunday in Seattle. Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. led the Huskies with 268 passing yards and a touchdown, while also scoring on a 5-yard keeper run. The victory marked the 118th meeting between the two schools, who were once both members of the Pac-12 before conference realignment.
Washington State's defense was largely effective in containing the Huskies' offense throughout the game. The Cougars' new quarterback Caden Pinnick, a transfer from UC Davis, threw for 142 yards and scored on an 11-yard keeper in the fourth quarter. However, Washington State missed a pair of field goals that could have narrowed the deficit.
The loss came in the first season under Washington State head coach Kirby Moore. Washington State is part of the rebuilt Pac-12, which now includes Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State, and Utah State. Meanwhile, Washington joined the Big Ten after leaving the Pac-12.
第17名华盛顿大学进攻乏力 但在苹果杯中以24-10击败华盛顿州立大学
第17名华盛顿大学周日在西雅图以24-10击败华盛顿州立大学，赢得赛季开幕的苹果杯，尽管进攻表现不佳。四分卫德蒙德·威廉姆斯二世为美洲狮队贡献268码传球和一次达阵，还通过5码推进达阵一次。这是两校的第118次交手，两校曾都是太平洋十二校联盟成员，后因会议重组而分离。
华盛顿州立大学的防守在整场比赛中有效地遏制了华盛顿大学的进攻。美洲狮队的新四分卫卡登·平尼克是来自加州大学戴维斯分校的转会生，传球142码并在第四节通过11码推进达阵。不过，华盛顿州立大学错失了两次可能缩小分差的射门。
这场失利发生在华盛顿州立大学主教练基比·摩尔的首个赛季。华盛顿州立大学是重组后太平洋十二校联盟的一部分，该联盟现包括博伊西州立大学、科罗拉多州立大学、弗雷斯诺州立大学、圣地亚哥州立大学、德克萨斯州立大学和犹他州立大学。与此同时，华盛顿大学在离开太平洋十二校联盟后加入了十大联盟。
