Dan Lanning playing into the Oregon-Washington rivalry during game preparation

 

With two of the team leaders carrying such vitriol for this contest, it's easy to see how Lanning's seamless

immersion into it took place and how quarterback Bo Nix has no illusions that this is just another game.

 

"There's a lot of guys who were born and raised here in Eugene or in Oregon that have told me a lot about it," Nix said. "So I enjoy hearing

those kinds of stories rather than looking it up and getting the internet stories. I like getting the personal stories and the Oregon player stories."

Jon Wilner's Pac-12 picks: Why Washington-Oregon rivalry is about to become an even bigger deal

 

The Huskies and Ducks are already key players in Pac-12 football. Once USC and UCLA depart in the summer of 2024,

the balance of power will shift forcefully to the upper left corner of the conference footprint.

 

And as the Pac-12 attempts to extract the greatest media value from its remaining schools, the Oregon-Washington rivalry

game stands as the top property available — the only annual matchup the networks can count on for 2.5 million (or more) viewers.

 

The conference needs to maximize it.

Oregon Week is Never Dull for Kirkland, Who's Seen it All

He's won, he's lost, he's had a game cancelled and his coach got fired.

 

"As much as I want to treat it like it's just another game, and it has to be handled that way,

but also you get a little emotional and it certainly means more," he said this week.

 

"Certainly for me, Oregon is in my backyard and I have a lot of friends and family that did go there,

but as you know I'm Washington and it's in my blood through and through."

 

Yes, he is the son of Dean Kirkland, who was a UW offensive guard and an all-conference player

three decades before him, so state boundaries weren't going to dictate where the younger Kirkland played.

With Ulofoshio Fully in the Mix, Will UW Defense Become More of a Stopper?
 

Linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio — who just might be the most talented player among this collection of Husky defenders

and a solid NFL prospect some day— came off his year-long injury absence last week to get a taste against Oregon State

and should be ready for extended duty and maybe even a starting assignment on Saturday afternoon against Oregon.

 

Ulofoshio's return and the timeliness of it can't be understated. His absence 12 months ago was one reason the Ducks ran

at will on his teammates.

 

He's someone who's piled up 18 tackles against Stanford, 16 against Oregon State and 14 against Utah n his career.

NFL scouts see a little Bobby Wagner or Mike Singletary in him.
