Washington has pulled out of the Pac-12 football championship game due to COVID-19 issues in the Huskies program, and Oregon will now play No. 13 USC for the conference title.

Capping their biggest come-from-behind victory in over 30 years, the Washington Huskies remained undefeated (3-0) in the truncated 2020 Pac-12 season with a 24-21 win at home against the Utah Utes.

In a statement released earlier today )Nov. 25) by the Pac-12 Conference, the Washington Huskies WILL play this weekend despite the Washington State Cougars having to cancel the 2020 incarnation of the Apple Cup slated for this Friday at Martin Stadium in Pullman due to a coronavirus outbreak.

The Apple Cup between Washington and Washington State has been canceled due to the Cougars not having enough scholarship players available because of positive COVID-19 tests.

Washington’s one scheduled crossover game with the Pac-12 South may test just how much the Huskies are willing to play a ground-and-pound style of offense.

In a not-so surprising announcement this afternoon, the Pac-12 Conference officially announced that this Saturday's truncated season opener between the Washington Huskies and the California Golden Bears has been cancelled due to a Cal player testing positive for COVID-19.

The Pac-12 has established cancellation and tiebreaker policies for its virus-truncated football season.

The return of football in the Pac-12 in November will bring some much needed relief to cash-strapped athletic departments trying to weather the coronavirus pandemic.

In a complete 180, the Pac-12 Conference announced today (Sept. 24) that they will, indeed, return to play a truncated college football season.
