Best games in UW history

Canadawg

Its come to my attention that almost everyone on this board is pretty old so I was hoping you can point me in the direction of some important games, or personal favorites, in husky football history to watch. Might be able to track them down on yt or somewhere.

1990 vs USC is hard to top even though it's a blowout. It's a blowout of US fucking C and a highly rated USC at that.

1991 at Nebraska was nerve wracking as fuck with a beautiful outcome.

1991 at Cal (who was not too high) was epic. Cal was a top 5 team rather easily.

1994 Whammy.

Two straight AC wins over the D word were epic, especially the one in Pullman when UW thankfully had a great kicker.

1975 USC said fuck off and LEAVE to John McKay after 10 straight losses

1975 Apple Cup made the wins over USC and UCLA that year mean something in the rebuild

1977 USC Warren Moon around the end to clinch the game. And the first Rose Bowl since 1963 season

1981 wind bowl against USC

1990 USC

Seems to be a theme here. #oldschool

Probably doesn't count because you've seen it but the 2016 Stanford game will be a part of UW lore forever. First time UW was BACK in 15 years.

Let's be real

70 to 21

Nothing else matters

2000 @ Stanford. Tragic, but an epic game. RIP Curtis Williams.

All great games. Of particular note. Watch the 1991 Nebraska game. I think it was on ABC. But they stroked Nebraska's cock all game. Even with footage inside the locker room. They got so much free pub at the time which set the stage for the 94/95 teams. Then we curb stomped them in the second half. The other thing to watch that game, we played more of a spread offense than we do now. Don James was more advanced than he was given credit for.

Eastern Washington @ Washington
Sept 3, 2011

Wow, what a game this was. Record-setting quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell vs the greatest QB of the Sark era, Keith Price. Washington kept trying to pull away, but Eastern would always bounce back.

Near the end of the third quarter, things were looking good. Washington was up by 14 points and had forced Eastern into a seemingly impossible 3rd and 26. But somehow Eastern was able to convert against Nick Holt's highly-feared defense by throwing a 43 yard touchdown pass, making it a 7 point game going into the 4th quarter.

Up by 3 points with only 1:25 left in the game, Eastern started their final possession at the 5 yard line. Washington's defense was fierce, but Eastern's offense fought valiantly for every yard they could get and managed to move the ball 70 yards on 4 plays that only ate 8 seconds off the clock.

Then came the greatest play in the history of Washington football. Facing 2nd and 10 with 1:17 left in the game, Bo Levi Mitchell drops back and throws the football right to Desmond Trufant in the endzone, which was exactly how the Washington coaches drew it up.

We all cheered and celebrated like crazy. It was year 3 of the Sark era, and we knew we had finally found a coach that could bring us back from being 0-12 and the worst team in the country to a team that was good enough to slip past a formidable FCS team that would go on to tear up the Big Sky Conference and finish 6-5.
