    Loved that moment and game. Maybe every fan of every team thinks this, but it has always felt to me in my lifetime like UW almost never wins a game like this and almost only wins if they are better than the team they are playing AND outplay them. They rarely play a relatively even game like this and just get the random play late that gets the the win. 2001 vs. Michigan is about the only other one I can think of.

    2000 Cal was kind of like that, but on steroids
    There was another Cal game like that in the 90s, 1994 is my guess. I think Damon was the QB. UW got a couple few breaks late and had some quick scores to come back. The game ended on an out pass to Bruener for a TD from around the 5 yard line iirc.

    What I remember about that too is the way the game switched over to KOMO and Brice King's first words were "can you believe that?" At least I think it was him.
    I think that was '93
    Yep, '93.

    Then there was the 1979 game in Eugene. Washington trailed 17-0 in the third quarter, and 17-14 with two minutes left. Oregon punted to Mark Lee, and he ran it back either 53 or 58 yards for the game-winning TD.

    Did UW get a single win like that before the 2020 Utah game?
