That's interesting, and for some reason my mind went to: What type of relationship does Leach have with Petersen? I notice UW has won all four of Petersen's Apple Cup matchups. (Leach won his first Apple Cup in 2012 and lost the next five.)

P.s. John Canzano of the Oregonian writes, speculates, about the 2015 Stanford-WSU game. Personally, I think the overrule of the would-be pick-6 was the obvious right call, the pass having bounced off of the turf.

Here's the article from the SF Chronicle quoting Leach's comments in 2017.  https://www.sfgate.com/collegesports/art...318920.php

Regarding Leach and Petersen, I have no insight into that relationship.  But Coug fans have complained that Leach does not "get" the Husky-Cougar rivalry the way Washington natives do and just considers it another game.  That may be changing, but the Cougar faithful are tired of getting their clocks cleaned in the final game of the regular season.  Since 2013, the scores have been:
UW 27-17, UW 31-13, UW 45-10, UW 45-17, UW 41-14.  Maybe Petersen is now in Leach's cross-hairs.
