Huskies +5 at Cougars
Game Time: 1/20/2007 6:00:00 PM

Look for Washington to stay within the spread at least today when the Huskies go on the road to face the Washington State Cougers.
The battle for the Apple Cup is what these clubs battle for on the college gridiron, but it's all about bragging rights tonight as the Huskies invade Pullman to take on the 21st-ranked Cougars.
What a difference a year makes as it was Washington State that was were installed as underdogs in both of their meetings last season. No doubt Washington State deserves to be the chalk in this spot due to their stellar home play, but I've got a feeling the Huskies will get the better of them in this spot.
We all know that State would love nothing more than to slow it down and bore you to death. However, that could prove to be fatal tonight with the size the Huskies possess. Washington is a much different team this season that can readily adapt to play the slow style of play due to big men Jon Brockman and Spencer Hawes. I'm looking for Washington to ride these guys to at least a cover if not a straight up win in this spot.
This might be a younger Husky bunch, but they still remember dropping last year's game at home to these same Cougars, and they'd love nothing more than to return the favor this time around. Expect a very game effort from head coach Lorenzo Romar's kids tonight, and don't be shocked if they hold the bragging rights until they meet again.
