The stage is set for the final two weeks of the year, and every team knows what lies in front of it.
For the Washington Huskies, a guaranteed spot in the Pac-12 Championship game helps, but they have aspirations much greater than that at this point.

That’s what Saturday’s action left us with, with the Ducks again rolling to a blowout victory while Michael Penix and the Huskies were in a grind-it-out dogfight against the Beavers, ultimately coming away with a 2-point win.
