Noteworthy comparison to 85 Orange Bowl?

DerekJohnson

The 84 Huskies went into the Orange Bowl with much the same national banter that we're seeing with the Peach Bowl. Oklahoma had the nation's #1 rushing defense and was considered an easy favorite. But Don James and Gary Pinkel put wrinkles into the game plan that confused the Sooners. In fact, now that I think about it, DJ emphasized during one of our interviews that Dan Dorazio (the only coach he ever fired) was the one who came up with trap scheme that enabled the Huskies to rush for over 200 yards and win 28-17

The media then began to say "if you give Don James four weeks to prepare.. "

Maybe the same will be said of Petersen

Before the game, Switzer had lobbied publicaly for the Natty while James kept his mouth shut.

What's this year's equivalent of the Sooner Schooner getting stuck on the field?

Saban stabbing Kiffin on the sideline resulting in a personal foul.

Don't forget the other eerie similarity to the 1984 season- i.e., both teams lost only 1 game in conference, with said defeats coming at the hands of USC. By 9 pts in 1984 and 13 this year. So we're staying on script, right?

Parading a passed-out Sark across the end zone a la "Weekend at Bernie's" after an Alabama touchdown, resulting in a 15yd celebration penalty on the ensuing kick, allowing a Jake Browning under-thrown TD pass to Ross.

To be fair...you posted something relevant. Alzheimer's Andy posts stuff with no bearing about todays game

UW won the conference this time though.

Aandy's posts have shit like "...in 1968, Jim Owens suspended Dirk Diggler for pouring a beer on a young lady at a dive bar in Ballard, which was witnessed by several dozen patrons...he learned a lesson, the next week, he had five tackles against Oregon St....what a game that was...speaking of Oregon State, they didn't have any 200 yard passing games from 1985-1987, it took Jerry Pettibone's ill-fated offensive coordinator to finally break through against ASU in October of 1987 in a rain soaked Parker Stadium...which was named after a confereate soldier who moved to Oregon in 1876..."

Following that Orange Bowl, the next five years were very mediocre until the 1990 team. Will Husky fans have patience with Petersen if he had a stretch like this?

1985: 7-5
1986: 8-3-1
1987: 7-4-1
1988: 6-5
1989: 8-4

The media said 8 years ago
"If you give Petersen time to prepare"... he's already done it at the highest level. But I do like your comparison. Good HDB material

One of those minions is Sark. I like our chances.

One of the greatest part of that game was Tony Casillas being lauded before the game as unstoppable, and after the game for all the havoc he wreaked. Guy was upfield 5 yards every play. They neglected to notice that Dan Ernesseesesseieieeone let him fly past him ever play and just lightly pushed him out of the way while Nate's dad ran through the vacant hole.

Good times. Good times.
