On the flip side, Washington is coming off a 24-20 win against Maryland, after traveling cross country this weekend. Prior to that, the Huskies were 3-1 on the year with wins against Colorado State, UC Davis and Washington, along with a loss to Ohio State.
This matchup between Rutgers and Washington next week will be the fourth ever between the two programs, with the Huskies leading the series 2-1. However the Scarlet Knights own the most recent game in this series, winning last year on a Friday night game inside of SHI Stadium by a score of 21-18.
