That 92 team was on 22? straight wins and had just destroyed 10 win Stanford. UW was 4-8 in 2021.

'80 Oregon.

FWIW, I knew a Woodinville player who played a lot of minutes in that game. He said they were talking at halftime that the game was there for the taking.

My definition of greased up though is a team that comes in lit up and doesn't quit. Get it right.

I was there

'98 Arizona

92 Arizona was the most depressing game of the early years of me being a husky. There was a sober realization that UW was good but not exceptional anymore. Other coaches and teams were catching up and could even out-UW the Huskies as Arizona had on this day.
This question would take a pretty long time to answer objectively as there are a ton of candidates to consider. There was a game at Cal where they ran for something like 500 yards against Ty. Pretty greasy. Similarly Stanford put the smack down on UW one year, I think against Sark, to the tune of a 50ish point win.

One of the unfortunate things for UW was no matter what Oregon is always massively greased for UW other than like 2016-17 where they probably wanted to bottom out and fire coaches anyway. Oregon was better than UW each of the 12 other than maybe the last one but they were never going to even remotely overlook a UW team.

Which makes Penix 3-0 all the more remarkable.
Dude had the kryptonite for Oregon grease.
