SEATTLE (AP) — The portion of Washington’s schedule that many feared has finally arrived — and it might be even tougher than first thought.
The Huskies’ brutal stretch begins on Thursday night when they host No. 8 Stanford in a national telecast that will serve as Washington’s first chance to erase the perceptions created by a 41-3 loss at LSU earlier this month.
Facing the Cardinal is followed by a trip to No. 2 Oregon and then home for No. 13 USC. That was thought to be the conclusion to the Huskies’ (2-1) difficult stretch. But it won’t get any easier with a trip to Arizona, followed by a home game against No. 18 Oregon State.
That’s four ranked teams in five weeks for the Huskies to navigate.
