Washington slips in AP Poll following 24-10 win over Washington State
Summary

Washington fell from No. 17 to No. 19 in the AP Poll following its 24-10 victory over Washington State in the Apple Cup. Despite the win, the Huskies offense struggled to meet expectations, failing to cover a three-touchdown spread. Head coach Jedd Fisch announced that starting running backs Quaid Carr and Jayden Limar will miss several weeks due to injuries, while the status of wide receiver Christian Moss remains uncertain. Conversely, the defense performed well by holding Washington State without a third-down conversion and forcing three turnovers. With this result, Washington currently ranks sixth in the Big Ten conference. The team prepares for upcoming games with a depth chart significantly impacted by early-season injuries.
