Washington Huskies’ Jedd Fisch on Oregon Ducks’ Autzen Stadium: ‘Hostile Environment’
Washington Huskies coach Jedd Fisch spoke to the media ahead of his team’s matchup with the Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium, and he talked about the challenge of playing on the road, especially in Eugene.
“This is another opportunity to go into an incredible environment, very hostile environment, probably the most hostile of all the environments I would assume on a rivalry weekend. It’s going to be loud, it’s going to be energetic, it’s going to be enthusiastic, they’re fighting to become undefeated this season and get ready to play in the Big Ten Championship Game. They’ve got a lot that they’re excited about in terms of how they’re playing football right now,” he said.
Fisch has decided on a starting quarterback in time for the showdown with the No. 1 Oregon Ducks. However, Washington coach Jedd Fisch declined to name either quarterback, Will Rogers or Demond Williams Jr., as the starter during his media availability session on Monday.
“We won’t announce any starters regarding the quarterback position . . . as for the other positions I think we’ll have our usual starters out there,” he said.
Fisch said he knows who will be taking first team snaps at practice, but won’t be publicly announcing it.
“I have a good idea how we’re going to do that,” Fisch said. “Now it’s important for us that the guy we believe will start the game gets a significant amount of reps in practice week, but as you know we’re not afraid to play two quarterbacks as well.”
The Ducks are going to be hosting Washington for the last game of the season, which is typically reserved for rivalry week.
Despite the Huskies rolling into the season finale with a 6-5 record, Fisch believes that a win over Oregon could be the spark they need in all off the field aspects.
“The key is for our team which I talked to our guys about is ‘Let’s spend six days focusing on trying to beat Oregon.’ Let’s just do that. And let’s not worry about who’s reaching out and who’s trying to get what, what money looks like and what negotiations look like, and let’s do everything we possibly can to beat Oregon,”
Oregon will look to finish the season out with a perfect 12-0 record, their showdown with Washington will be broadcasted on NBC with kickoff at 4:30 p.m.

A 26-year-old man had an argument with a co-worker before allegedly fatally shooting the colleague in Washington Heights, prosecutors said Friday.
Bobby Martin, who was charged with first-degree murder Thursday, made his first appearance Friday in Cook County court.
Martin, is accused of killing his co-worker, Antoine Alexander, 32, in a parking lot at 9411 S Ashland Ave about 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Chicago police.
Prosecutors said Martin and Alexander worked together at an armed security company and got into a verbal altercation inside the guard shack on Tuesday afternoon. During the altercation, prosecutors said Alexander removed his bullet proof vest and threw it to the ground. A witness, another co-worker, then told the defendant and the victim to take the altercation outside.
After stepping outside, the defendant pulled his firearm and fired one shot into the victims abdomen, prosecutors said. The victim’s firearm was holstered at the time of the argument and the shooting. The defendant fled the scene and came into contact with another co-worker, whom he told that he had just shot Alexander.
Alexander was then taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.
Martin was arrested by authorities three blocks from his home approximately 20 minutes after the shooting, prosecutors said.
Martin was detained and will appear in court again on March 17, authorities said.

Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury has announced that she and her husband Matt are expecting a baby in July.
The couple made the announcement in a video on the Spirit’s social media channels, holding a baby goalkeeper jersey on the pitch at Audi Field.
Kingsbury becomes the most recent Spirit star to go on maternity leave, following defender Casey Krueger, midfielder Andi Sullivan and forward Ashley Hatch.
Sullivan gave birth to daughter Millie in July, while Hatch welcomed her son Leo in January.
Krueger announced she was pregnant with her second child in October.
Kingsbury has served as the Spirit’s starting goalkeeper since 2018, and has been named the NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year twice (2019 and 2021).
The 34-year-old has two caps with the U.S. women’s national team, and was named to the 2023 World Cup roster.
The club captain will leave a major void for the Spirit, who have finished as NWSL runner-up in back-to-back seasons.
Sandy MacIver and Kaylie Collins are expected to compete for the starting role while Kingsbury is on maternity leave.
The Spirit kick off their 2026 campaign on March 13 against the Portland Thorns.
YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima could soon take a major step toward redesigning Sixth Avenue after the Washington State Public Works Board awarded the city a $985,600 loan.
The loan was approved for the design engineering phase of the Sixth Avenue project. The funding can also be used along Sixth Avenue for utility replacement and updated ADA use.
The Yakima City Council must decide whether to accept the award. If the council accepts it, the city’s engineering work will move forward with the design of Sixth Avenue.
The cost of installing trolley lines is excluded from the plan. The historic trolleys would need to raise the funds required to add trolley lines.
The award is scheduled to be discussed during next week’s City Council meeting.
