Canzano: Washington’s Jimmy Lake steps in puddle with his shot at rival Oregon Ducks

A pair of Washington defenders try and tackle Oregon’s Jaylon Redd as the Ducks and Huskies face off in a college football game at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington on Saturday, Oct.

Years ago in front of the football rivalry previously known as the Civil War, Oregon State linebacker Richard Siegler mocked the rival Oregon Ducks.

Our battles are really the schools we go against, that have academic prowess like the University of Washington — Notre Dame, Stanford, USC.

Washington is one of the top research universities on the West Coast.

The Ducks took the “no contest” and advanced to the Pac-12 championship game and beat USC.

If you’re a Washington fan, you have to be concerned about the stalled offense and four losses.

But if you’re a UW fan, you should be equally concerned that the Huskies aren’t dominating early in this Name/Image/Likeness era.

But I suspect he knows the Ducks’ players have leveraged the university’s Nike ties to create lucrative NIL deals for players such as Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon’s star defensive end.

At $500,000 and counting in endorsements Thibodeaux will earn more than his position coach this season and far more than any UW players on the field Saturday.

You’d imagine with that kind of corporate advantage that UW would see an uptick in recruiting in the NIL era.

Oregon safety Keith Lewis pulled on an Oregon State T-shirt after the victory and paraded around.

Schill said: “UW is a wonderful school with a great football history.
