Washington State Cougars preview
First-year head coach Kirby Moore opens his Washington State tenure on the road in the Apple Cup, one of the hardest Week 1 spots in college football. After conference realignment and roster turnover, the Cougars’ early focus is establishing a physical identity, protecting the football, and staying competitive on third down against a ranked Big Ten rival.
No. 17 Washington Huskies preview
Jedd Fisch’s Huskies host the Apple Cup as clear favorites behind returning quarterback Demond Williams Jr. Washington is replacing key skill-position production from 2025, so early offensive continuity and home-field execution in Seattle are central storylines for this Week 1 college football preview.
