Apple Cup: UW vs WSU Info – TV, radio, uniforms and more

The Apple Cup begins a new era on Saturday when the UW Huskies and WSU Cougars meet for the first time as non-conference opponents.

Pac-12 adds Boise St., Fresno St., San Diego St., Colorado St.

It’s going to be a departure, in many ways. Most notably is the timing, as the long-running rivalry that had usually taken place during Thanksgiving week now finds itself in the third week of the season in mid-September. The neutral site, a one-off for this year, is another reason the game has been referred to as the “bizarro” Apple Cup.

Here’s a look at some of the key information for Saturday’s game.
