UW Football's Potential Vegas Bowl Clash with Oklahoma
20 Sep
Summary
- Washington Huskies projected for Las Vegas Bowl versus Oklahoma.
- This marks a potential fourth meeting between UW and Oklahoma.
- Recent Husky bowl games include a loss to Louisville and win vs. Boise State.
The Washington Huskies are projected to participate in the Las Vegas Bowl, potentially facing the Oklahoma Sooners. This matchup, predicted by On3, would place the Huskies in the fourth Big Ten bowl selection slot. The last two times Washington appeared in the Las Vegas Bowl, they played Boise State.
Should this projection hold, it would signify the fourth contest between Washington and Oklahoma, with their initial meeting in the 1984 Orange Bowl. Recent history includes Oklahoma's victories in 2006 and 2008. Notably, some players on both sides have prior experience against each other.
In recent bowl appearances, the Huskies experienced a narrow 35-34 defeat against Louisville in the 2024 Sun Bowl. The following season, they secured a strong 38-10 win over Boise State in the LA Bowl, concluding with a 9-win record. These results build anticipation for the 2026 season, with hopes for a College Football Playoff berth.
