## Resource

The Washington Huskies will open the 2026 season in rivalry fashion as the Apple Cup lands on Sunday, September 6, reigniting rivalry tensions with the Washington State Cougars. With quarterback Demond Williams Jr. aiming to silence offseason critics and local talents Kodi Greene and Derek Colman-Brusa making their college football debuts, all eyes are on how Jedd Fisch’s revamped squad will handle this high-stakes test at Husky Stadium. Will the Huskies’ elite defense, anchored by returning stars in the linebacker room and a retooled defensive line, handle Washington State’s dynamic rushing attack that’s looking to bounce back from last year’s 25-yard performance? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Locked On Pac-12's Christian Rau break down the fanbase’s reaction to the Williams storyline, the keys to stopping Washington State’s offense, and the penalty and turnover issues that could spark an upset. The episode also tackles the new-look Pac-12’s identity after realignment, Boise State’s long-awaited inclusion, and the importance of preserving iconic rivalries like the Apple Cup.
