SEATTLE -- Even as Washington is reaching heights not seen in more than a decade, climbing to No. 5 in this weeks AP Top 25 , there is another number taking precedence this week.Twelve. And no, that has nothing to do with the Seattle Seahawks.Its the number of Washingtons consecutive losses to Oregon, one that has grown each year since 2003 and will continue to linger over the Huskies football program until its losing streak to the Ducks is finally snapped.So will it be brought up this week by Washington coach Chris Petersen? Dont even think about it.I dont know why Id do that. No, Petersen said Monday.From the time he left Boise State to accept the job at Washington, the question of when Petersen would end the Huskies losing ways has followed him everywhere. Its the biggest topic among fans and alumni, more so than anything related to in-state rival Washington State.This week presents what could be Washingtons best chance to end the losing skid against the Ducks. The Huskies are coming off a thorough dismantling of Stanford 44-6 on Friday night -- one of its most impressive victories in years -- while the Ducks are wounded, having lost three straight after an 18-point loss at Washington State.There may not be a better time for Washington to end the losing skid. But even in the simplest of ways, the Huskies are avoiding talk about the skid. Washingtons game notes mentions Oregon has had the edge of late, winning 17 of the last 21, but doesnt mention having lost 12 straight.You hear that a lot. So we get it. We know its important. But all these games are important, Petersen said. I mean, I want our guys to just do what theyve been doing, just preparing hard and staying focused on the right things and showing up on Saturday with great energy and playing as a team. You cant tell them, `OK, now were going to prepare really hard. Thats ludicrous. That doesnt make any sense. These guys have been giving everything they can possibly give, so we just need to stick to that and stay focused and not pay attention to all the stuff that doesnt really matter.Still its a different week around the Huskies program and not simply because they have their highest ranking in the AP poll since finishing No. 3 following a Rose Bowl victory at the end of the 2000 season. There is a buzz about Washington different from any other time during Petersens tenure or under his predecessor Steve Sarkisian.The win over Stanford validated the hype surrounding Washington. It also kicked all that attention into overdrive.Were kind of burying our head in the sand. I think they have done a good job of just paying attention to whats important and practicing hard and all those type of things, Petersen said. I do think its important that we pay attention to it as coaches and talk about those things, because it can be distracting, theres no question about it. Its distracting to me to have to sit here and talk to you.Because of that, Petersen has made players off-limits for interviews this week for the third time since arriving at Washington. He said its not specifically because of the opponent, but more to give his players a break with classes having started last week.It has nothing to do with the opponent, Petersen said. It has to do with us -- it always has to do with us. Its never about the opponent. Adidas Superstar Femme Pas Cher .

BOULDER, Colo. -- For all of Sefo Liufaus tough runs , this one may be the most impressive: His sprint from the locker room back to the field.A hip pointer wasnt going to sideline him in the fourth quarter. Especially not in a game of this magnitude.Liufau threw for 345 yards, rushed for 108 more and scored three touchdowns as No. 12 Colorado beat No. 20 Washington State 38-24 on Saturday in a matchup of unlikely Pac-12 division leaders.Phillip Lindsay added 144 yards rushing and two TDs for the Buffaloes (9-2, 7-1, No. 10 CFP), who can wrap up the Pac-12 South and a spot in the conference title game by beating Utah at home next week.A loss would give the South to No. 15 Southern California, which stayed in the race by routing rival UCLA 36-14 on Saturday night for its seventh straight victory.It means the world to go out there and win, keep our hopes alive, said Liufau, who had 23 carries.

Weve gotten a little older and a little better at being consistent and executing.Liufau briefly left in the fourth quarter only to return and pick up a crucial third-and-short that led to a game-sealing TD run by Lindsay.

Colorado safety Nick Fisher tackled receiver Kyle Sweet short of the first down.Earlier, Leach rolled the dice on fourth-and-1 at his own 41 and Jamal Morrow rewarded his faith by gaining 30 yards. John Thompson later hauled in a 7-yard TD pass to give the Cougars a 24-21 lead.The Cougars finished 2 of 4 on fourth-down attempts.We were close on two of those, Leach said. One of them I probably should have kicked a field goal. In the end, it probably wouldnt have mattered.TAKEAWAYSWashington State: Standout receiver River Cracraft didnt play because of whats been reported as a torn ACL suffered last week.
