Update: Follow the Apple Cup 2011. 

The Washington Huskies came out of the half firing after losing momentum in the second quarter. On the third play from scrimmage, Jake Locker found Jermaine Kearse for 66 yards and the score, putting the Huskies back on top by two touchdowns. Just 1:30 into the third quarter, Washington was back in control of the Apple Cup.

The Cougars responded, throwing together a drive of their own to pull within seven. Jeff Tuel found Daniel Blackledge uncovered in the middle of the field for the score. Blackledge came up huge on the drive, picking-up 18 yards on 1st and 25 after another illegal block pushed the Cougars backwards.

The Cougs stopped Washington on third down at the one yard-line to end the third quarter. A touchdown here could end it. Knowing how Steve Sarkisian works, it seems likely the Huskies will go for it.

After three quarters, it’s Washington over Washington State, 21-14
