Defense Shines, Punter Lights Up Apple Cup | Washington Huskies Football News

Huskies dominate Washington State in the Apple Cup with a stellar defensive showing, holding the Cougars to just one touchdown and a field goal while forcing turnovers, sacks, and interceptions—even with three freshmen starting on defense. Coach Fisch praised the effort but noted some rough penalties. The offensive line struggled with execution and holding calls, especially in critical moments, highlighting the need for cohesion. Meanwhile, punter Hunter Green was electric, averaging over 50 yards per punt with two booming kicks over 60 yards, earning high praise from the coach. Despite offensive hiccups, the win was built on defensive grit and special teams excellence, signaling strong potential as the season unfolds.
