After a three-game losing streak appeared to put Washington’s bowl eligibility in jeopardy, the Huskies and coach Jedd Fisch have rallied the past two weeks . Victories at Purdue and Nebraska have UW on the cusp of a sixth win, which would make it bowl-eligible, with a month of the season remaining.

The path to eight wins, matching the Huskies’ regular-season total from 2025, however, requires them to win three of their final four games. And with tougher challenges remaining than a Penn State team adjusting to first-year coach Matt Campbell, UW needs a homecoming win Saturday against the Nittany Lions to set the stage for a strong finish to 2026.

Here’s what to watch Saturday:

Washington (5-3, 2-3 Big Ten) vs. Penn State (4-4, 1-4)
