Remembering Pelluer's 2-Pointer: 222 Days to Michigan
I'm writing this without having watched this video or read the article... But I was 12 years old at that time. Pelluer got sacked late in the third quarter and fumbled. Michigan recovered either inside the UW 10 yard line or maybe in the end zone. Michigan went ahead 24-10. I started throwing a mini-tantrum and told my dad it was all over. He turned to me and said "Son, never lose faith in the Huskies. I will bet you $1 that the Huskies will come back to win."
In the fourth quarter Pelluer completed something like 15 passes in a row, and of course the Huskies won 25-24 on the 2-point conversion in the end zone. Dad claims that I never settled up on that bet, but I'm sure I did.
Curious to see what other details @RaceBannon might add. (He would have been around 95 years old at that time).

When they hit the conversion I jumped up and hit my brother in the head with my elbow

Your other Dad should have covered your bet for you.
Very disturbing. A black eye for the Johnson’s, IMO. -
Sounds like Papa Johnson is only $128 away from joining the Wam!

And thanks Taft!

This game is the biggest difference between James and Petersen. Michigan was bigger and better. They dominated the game. And lost. James had a knack for that even though he should have been fired numerous times
Its why I thought Petersen could be better and win more consistently but he couldn't. Because he was a soft fucking loser
James was hard as nails -

Pete was a nervous wreck anytime we were losing at all. We didn’t have any comeback wins with him that I can remember off the top of my head. Maybe the Arizona close call in 2016, but that was pretty close the whole time.RaceBannon said:This game is the biggest difference between James and Petersen. Michigan was bigger and better.

Now, go fuck off!!! -
Not in 1983 it wasn't
-
Disagree
Not the case
Check the facts
It was always Roc -
I can't tell if you're screwing around or serious. But Roc Alexander and Omare Lowe were from the 2001 UW win over Michigan. Three day before 9/11 in fact. The '83 game was Pelluer, Stransky and Larry Michaels.CaptainPJ said:Disagree

...and how much do we really count a win that depended on Whittingham?
"Embattled Washington kicker Tristan Vizcaino drilled a game-winning 38-yard field goal as time expired. He was allowed to split the uprights after Utah called a timeout with 23 seconds remaining and the Huskies at their own 30-yard line."

Roc scooped it and returned it.
Then Vonture (I believe) had a Pick 6 a couple plays later. -
Vonture didn't play in 2001. He never played for UW again after the middle of the 2000 season. Omare Lowe had the pick 6. He also had the blocked FG.CaptainPJ said:Roc scooped it and returned it.

That Michigan game seems like it’s been erased from our collective memory, which isn’t surprising given what happened on the Tuesday after it, but it was a significant game.HuskyJW said:

Cody’s first start and Reggie’s first game
Home opener vs top 15
Coming off a Rose Bowl win
We thought Rick in year 3 was going to turn us into the FSU of the West
Down in the 4Q, Michigan about to kick a FG and things not looking good, then completely flipping the game with the block and return followed by the pick 6.
Then we got blown out at the Rose Bowl and stupidly lost at OSU before Miami scored a billion points on us, and gave the next years game vs Michigan to them with the 12 men penalty and we had to fire Rick. FYFMFE
