    That was Jammi German. He was a freak WR for Miami. If you remember that hit, Dick Vermiel called him "Ewaliki". That hit turned game. More impressive was the block
    Kaufman laid on that dude on Richard Thomas long run. The real husky fan knows what pup is talking about. Most of you ding dongs were playing with your beanie babies when Kaufman outran everyone to make that block.

    Pretty sure that real Husky fans remember Richard Thomas' run was actually a screen pass.
    Uh it was a long run. I think he ran 75 yards. Watching the game via Youtube shorts is hardly watching the game Nacho. When your dumbass turns to semantics, Pup has already won

    We went 7-4 that year. Who gives a fuck if we beat some stupid fucking team?

    I never got why it was such a big deal. It was just one fucking dumb OOC game that meant nothing, both because we couldn't go to a bowl and we'd already lost to USC.

    It's not like a fucking national championship or something. It's just some game where we beat a good team on the road.

    Doogs love that win, though. They pointed to it for years with Lambo.

    not your best effort
    Seriously, what was the big deal? It was a good road win in a meaningless season against a good team. Then that same team crapped the bed and went 7-4.

    I honestly have never understood why it was such a BFD. It always struck me as the kind of thing that Wake Forest fans would get pumped up about.

    Yes Lambo shit the bed with the 7-4 record, but that's beside the point.

    Pretty sure we(?) were 17 point dogs in that game. I was 9. If my memory serves correctly, Miami was ranked number one in the country. They were still Miami back then.

    I remember asking my Dad if it was possible our Huskies could win that Crisp Saturday morn so many years ago. He didn't hesitate: well, yeah, its possible....anything can happen in college football.

    The Dawgs were down 14-6 at half. im not sure how many of us deep down thought we'd be on the winning end after all of this was said and done. Certainly even the most optimistic homer could not predict what happened in the 2nd half. Total fucking beat down. in the end it ranks up there with one of the most memorable wins in program history. Ending their home win streak, Laughing at that Tombstone with Washington's name on it.

    This game vs Bama takes me back to 1994.... ~17 point dogs. Number one team in the country. No one giving us(?) a chance. Do we have a shot, you ask? ....




    Anything can happen in college football.

    listen Sonny, Dennis Erickson was the head coach. Understand? And no they were not #1. Did you, at 9 years old, remember who Miami's QB was? That was the year the heisman trophy became irrelevant for your records. The combo of Tortellini and Erickson lost that game. Miami was out of shape...we werent.

    Saban is coaching Alabama and they are not out of shape . So no, "anything can happen in college football" doesnt really apply. If Saban was coaching Miami then, we would have lost by 3 touchdowns. They were so fast. They just cramped up every other down and we took advantage. Kaufman only gained I think 88 yds on the ground, but was one of his best games. He was awesome, so was Bruener (his best game).
    I'm pretty sure Frank Costa was the quarterback.

    Season was a dud. That individual game was a big deal. They were Miami back then. They sort of played for the NC against Nebraska. That was a top five team.
