Washington and Oregon are set to renew their rivalry Saturday. The Utes can take a big step toward locking up a spot in the Pac-12 title game with a win on Friday night at Stanford.
Stanford and Washington head into Saturday’s matchup with sub-.500 records. Oregon State could reach bowl-eligibility for the first time since 2013 with a win over California this weekend.
Stanford plays at No. 22 Arizona State in the Pac-12's top game this week. Both teams are coming off impressive wins. Pac-12 North Leader Oregon State plays at Washington State.
The list of Pac-12 teams that remain undefeated has dwindled to a precious three. No. 4 Oregon, No. 13 UCLA and No. 19 Arizona State are left to Boost the profile of the conference.
Coach Herm Edwards wants a better performance this Saturday from No. 23 Arizona State after last weekend’s penalty-filled, mistake-riddled performance, even if it resulted in a lopsided season-opening win.
