This being Apple Cup week, I don’t need to remind everyone how this game has gone the last five years. But I will anyway.
27-17 Huskies.
31-13 Huskies.
45-10 Huskies.
45-17 Huskies.
41-14 Huskies.
I don’t think there’s any question that, given such low preseason expectations, Mike Leach should be a considered for Pac-12 and National Coach of the Year.
But given the results just listed, I also don’t think there’s anyone with more pressure to win Apple Cup than Leach himself.
For as exciting and unexpected this year has been for the Cougs, you can’t dismiss the fact that they’ve laid the worst of eggs in their biggest game of the season the last few years, losing by an average of 30 points. And given their consistent success (remember, they’re 36-14 over the last four seasons), there’s really no excuse.
And as much as Leach wants to dismiss it as just another game, losing rivalry games that badly and consistently is a total reflection on him.
