For better, since WE are winning every game, I think how much McMillan's injury sucks has been downplayed. For me, simply not being able to watch Penix throw to three of the greatest UW receivers on the same field is a sad miss, not even just considering the advantage WE are missing. I also feel like with his grandpa who was a huge Husky fan passing, McMillan was a guy who really really cared about repping UW.
It might be my least favorite injury since I've been following the program. Trying to think of some of the others?
Azeem in 2016
Joe Mathis 2016
Stanback in 2006
Jerramy Stevens in 2001
Curtis Williams in 2000
Anthony Vontoure's mental injuries
Rapp in the Rose Bowl 2018
Gaskin missing even just late against Oregon in 2018 and Cal - Get's lost they probably go undefeated in Pac if he doesn't

A fake kneel bomb while up by 4 scores with under 30 seconds left?
Wtf was that?
Azeem and Mathis were big
Stanback is my answer
I agree we are missing out this year even as we keep winning
Aaron Jenkins knee injury - was a highly-touted RB nobody remembers
Mark Brunell in spring ball
Lester Towns foot injury
Paul Arnold back injury
Harsh but true
I do remember Douglass getting hurt. That cost us
@SECDAWG
I really liked Brunell, but his injury paved the way for Hobert to lead the 1991 team. I don't think that team would have gone 12-0 without Hobert at the helm. Billy Joe had the it factor.
An untimely injury, IMHO, was Greg Lewis in the 1990 against UCLA. I don't think the Dwags lose to the Bruins at home with Lewis in the backfield for the whole game. That was one of the most frustrating games I've ever seen in person. A freshman Tommy Maddox completing short slant routes over and over and the D had not answer for it.
Locker was terrible but what did that do in teh end? Just make sure they lost the Apple Cup?
I know you want to keep playing against Michigan State at that point but holy shit it hurts losing someone like that when the game was realistically over.
Business decision for him, nothing more.
Tuli's injury has been the bigger loss for this team by a margin
Cody Pickett's back in 2003. He was a shell of the guy he was in 2002.
Rashaan Shehee in 1997, if I remember right he was injured down the stretch and we really struggled without him.
Travis Spring. RIP.
People will hate it but Asa Turner last year. We win either of those two games and the whole narrative for last year and this is different.
Puka's injuries were costly, especially if there's a chance he would have stayed here had he not gotten hurt.
HOW WAS NO ONE SAID DEONTAE COOPER? NOT A WET EYE IN THE FUCKING THREAD.
The real answer is Laiatu Latu. Wiff a bullet.
To me it’s Laiatu Latu. He is the difference between Washington’s D being too 10 and the shit storm we see now
