(AP) – Washington’s football game at Oregon on Saturday has been canceled because of COVID-19 cases in the Huskies’ program.
The Pac-12 announced the decision Thursday.
The league said the game would be declared a no contest.
The conference said Washington did not have enough scholarship players available under Pac-12 protocols.
The conference says 53 scholarship players need to be available.
Washington paused practices Wednesday after a rise in the number of positive cases and announced earlier Thursday it would not be resuming practices.
This will be just the second time the Ducks and Huskies have not played since 1945.
The teams did not meet in 2001 due to a scheduling quirk.
