It was Fiala's dropped pick. Would haver sealed win and tr up to rose bowl. They marched right down field and scored, went for tie and the rest is history. Game STILL stings to this day. Lambo earned 2 rose bowls. Joanna Whales single handedly fucked Jimmy on 2 chip-shots VS Oregon to fuck themselves again . Yet Lambone gets crucified by know-nadas' like yourself 20 years later. He should have been coach of year twice. Instead he's seen as scapegoat of year by delusional dawgfans like yourself.
Ok, man-coverage VS pat Johnson was silly but Lambo was edver aggressive on defense. But with Greenlaw and mighty mouse on the back-end he had to be. Take chances or get picked apart and lose every game. I commend him...
T he alternative was Sark's defense under Holt. That worked out great (see EWU as an example of zone defense with shit talent)

Welcome to reality.
Solid in game decisions.
Instill toughness and discipline in your team.
Recruit well.
Play your best players.
You might add one or two things but I think that's the gist.
Lambo's in game decisions were suspect #HuardsWantsToThrow
His teams were TUFF but discipline is questionable (i.e. Lester Towns pickup hoops, Olin Kreutz v the world, CW's arrest records etc)
Recruiting was more good than bad but he shut down the Hawaii pipeline and lost a lot of big in state talent (Lake Dawson, Carlos Pierre Antoine, Huard III, etc)
Play your best players - see Puppy's poast.
Lambo wasn't all bad but he was really good at fucking up when it mattered most, and by the time he was fired he had completely lost the team. He should have been fired after 97, at the latest.
