Week 7 Trophy Update

The Trophy Holding Washington Huskies had a bye week last week and will face Oregon this Saturday with The jimPossible-sarcasMike Trophy on the line once again.

  • Washington started this run with the Trophy by knocking off the Ducks last November 37-34
  • UW is seeking it's 9th straight win - this is already their longest run with the Trophy
  • The Huskies are 36-23 in Trophy games and this is their 11th time as Trophy-holder
  • Oregon has only been the Trophy-holder that one time and has an overall record of 7-18-1
  • The PNW teams have met 4 times in Trophy games with UW winning each time

It seems likely The Trophy will end the regular season in the PAC-12.
