Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

    Only 2 of those are actually modern.

    Only 2 of them are actually college football.

    Not sure what you'd call that odd game from before 1994.
    It's pretty easy and logical to define competitive eras in CFB with scholarship limits. Ignoring that is head in the sand silliness.

    UW defines that as 1976 when they first came in. Hth

    Mark Lee's punt return with 1:58 left to lead UW 21-17 over Oregon at Autzen (1979)

    I didn't go with Utah '16 because of the four uncalled blocks in the back (two were marginal, but two were textbook). I'm surprised the record-breaker the following year isn't on the list. I mean, think of all of the ingredients:

    1.) It set a national record.
    2.) Against the most hated rival.
    3.) At home.
    4.) In an embarrassing blowout.
    5.) And there had been a huge amount of buildup in the media and extra attention on Husky games due to everyone holding their breath in anticipation of being able to be there when the record was broken. Every time a team was stupid enough to punt to him, everyone who cares about college football leaned forward in their seat to see what would happen.
    6.) Oregon's FS coach talked shit before the game, saying he wasn't afraid of punting to Pettis.
    7.) Bob Gregory coached a unit that holds a national record to this day.

    Bullshit

    I know we laugh and joke that foosball started in 94, and you hurtfully downvote me ever tim I bring up the 85 limit, but, well I already said it. Enjoy your evening on the porch.

    In 76 it went from no limit to 95. That's when UW made inroads on USC. Oregon didn't need to wait but they did have a 17 year plan

    Experts and scientists tell us that original limit changed the game

    Johnny Majors had taken over at Pitt and had like 60 freshmen including Dorsett right before the limit

    Now please remove yourself from my lawn
