washington huskies football

College football has a long history at the University of Washington. The Washington Huskies have won 15 Pacific-10 Conference Championships, 7 Rose Bowl Titles, and 4 National Championships. Washington's all-time record of 653-398-50 (as of 2008) ranks 20th by all-time winning percentage and 21st by all-time victories. The team has two of the nation's longest winning streaks and holds the Division I-A unbeaten record at 63 consecutive games.[4] Washington is one of four charter members of what became the Pacific-10 Conference and one of only two schools with uninterrupted membership. Through the 2008 season, its 342 conference victories rank second in league history.[5] The Huskies play on-campus in historic Husky Stadium.

Washington is often referred to as one of the top Quarterback U's due to the long history of quarterbacks to play in the NFL. 16 of the last 18 starting quarterbacks dating back to 1970 have gone onto the NFL, with the current starter Jake Locker almost certain to be the next one.

As of 2009, Washington is one of only four of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) teams to have never played a Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) team since Division I was split in 1978.[6]

Washington are current holders and 2009 winners of the Apple Cup, defeating Washington State University 30-0 at Husky Stadium.
