"It's the Apple Cup. What you mean? We can't lose that," Penix said. "That's one of the biggest games for Husky Nation, with the whole tradition and everything. We're not looking over that. We're going to be ready for it.
"Yeah, man, it's exciting to know we'll be in the (Pac-12) championship. But there's still work to be done. Like I said, man, if you're not excited for the Apple Cup, then you're in the wrong spot."
While the Saturday game in Seattle will be the last meeting between the rivals as members of the Pac-12 -- No. 4 Washington is among four conference schools leaving for the Big Ten next season -- it was announced earlier in the week that the Apple Cup will continue, as the schools agreed to a five-year deal to continue playing.
"We should never have to get to this point where we have to schedule out-of-conference games (against Washington)," Washington State coach Jake Dickert said. "I understand both sides of the reaction. I do. But when I step back, and I look at a 360-degree view, we've been playing for over 100 years, and that needs to continue.
"I think any time you have an issue that people have an emotional reaction to, that means they're bought into it, whatever side of the coin you're on, right? I see it both ways. I do. But at the end of the day, we're playing for the Apple Cup. That means something to every person that wears the Coug, every man that has been in our locker room, it's very important to him. So everyone tunes in to watch the game."

Mac, food for thought. FSU get bumped to #5 don't think even with backup Q.B. that fla has a shot. S.C. not going to beat an upcharged Clemson. Clemson playing for a bigger bowl, S.C ready to clean the locker room. Save your dime, but as you say fade or tail. G.L
