Washington will host San Jose State at Husky Stadium on Sept. 17, 2033, in the teams' first scheduled meeting since 2006. It is the University of Washington's only announced nonconference game beyond 2030. The scheduling comes as Washington weighs playoff-related nonconference games, lower-division opponents and the future of the Apple Cup, whose current agreement with Washington State concludes after the 2028 game.
Washington's 2028 nonconference opponents are Eastern Washington, UNLV and Washington State. In 2029, the Huskies will travel to Tennessee and host Boise State, while a third opponent has not been chosen. That game is projected to be at Husky Stadium, giving Washington at least six home games.
The 2030 home nonconference slate lists Tennessee, Hawaii and Boise State, meaning the Apple Cup would not be played that year without a schedule change.
The Huskies are 10-0 against San Jose State, with victories ranging from three to 43 points. Washington won the initial meeting, 14-6, in 1958, and took the latest one, 35-29, in 2006 under coach Tyrone Willingham. In 1996, Corey Dillon rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns in the first quarter of Washington's 53-10 win in Montlake.
The performance established an NCAA quarter-rushing record, according to the report. Dillon totaled 305 yards and sat out the rest of the game. The story was published by si.com.
