Next Saturday will mark the second game against a top-five team in as many weeks for Washington, and ESPN’s College GameDay will be there to preview the action.
Less than 12 hours after coming up just short in Saturday’s clash at Stanford, ESPN announced that GameDay will be aired from Seattle when the Huskies play Oregon.
The Huskies will look to rebound after their 31-28 loss in Palo Alto, Calif., which dropped their record to 4-1. Oregon defeated Colorado by a tally of 57-16 on Saturday, advancing them to 5-0 this season. The Ducks are coming off their fifth consecutive game of scoring 50 points and will make their bid to extend that streak to six, which would tie the NCAA record for most 50-point games in a row. The most recent team to boast such a streak was Oklahoma in 2008.
This is the first time that College GameDay has come to Washington and the Huskies are 0-3 in GameDay appearances. Washington lost to No. 2 Nebraska in 1998, to No. 13 Michigan in 2002 and to No. 3 Ohio State in 2003.
On the other hand, Oregon is 10-6 when appearing on GameDay, with their most recent appearance being in Eugene before last year’s loss to No. 14 Stanford. They are 4-1 in road appearances on GameDay.
The show begins at 6 a.m. PT, with the game kickoff to follow at 1 p.m. PT on Fox Sports 1.
