Oregon football’s seniors get brutally honest amid 3 straight losses to Washington, Makes Bold Claim ahead of fixture
‘I hate the Huskies’: Oregon football’s seniors aim for redemption
The outcomes of the last three matchups against Washington are still fresh in the minds of the Oregon Ducks.
Although nearly half of the current roster wasn’t involved in the two losses to the Huskies last season, and even fewer were part of the 2022 defeat at Autzen Stadium, there are plenty of reminders as they prepare for Saturday’s regular season finale (4:30 p.m., NBC).
“In the weight room we got all the old games are popping up there so when you’re getting a lift in you can see them beating the crap out of us the past three (games),” linebacker Bryce Boettcher said. “Making guys understand that for those new guys, transfers, freshmen, that this game when they’re coming in they’re going to bring their best game. Obviously it’s going to mean a lot to them. If we come out sleepwalking, can’t do that in this type of game.”
Boettcher has been a part of the three losses to the Huskies, all decided by three points. The Eugene native acknowledge reality: of course this game means “a little extra” than others.
“For those that say there’s not, don’t worry about the opponent, I mean I think that’s a little bit of BS,” Boettcher said. “I hate the Huskies. I’ve never liked them. So I’ll be playing my butt off when game time the ball is kicked off.”
