It was guys like Archie Griffin, Charles White, Billy Sims, etc who got my ass interested in college football as a young kid. RIP.

I was at the same game. I recall he reeled off a long TD down the sidelines.RaceBannon said:If you saw him play at Husky Stadium like I did you'd know this the right board. Legend
Flop in the NFL but still.
Also, this post goes a long way toward restoring the right level of respect. There’s been a lot is shit-talking about Trooj around here lately.

1979 was a big year for the Dawgs. 78 was a disappointing follow up to the Rose Bowl. They hosted USC in the next to the last game of the season for the Pac 10 title. It was a 24-17 loss but a classic with the Huskies stopped at the goal line late in the game. Vince Coby did a Charles White impersonation for the Huskies
UW began the tradition of losing in the desert when they faced a riled up ASU early in the year in the first game after the legendary Frank Kush was fired. UW was blamed because Kush punched a player at Husky Stadium in 78 as the Dawgs ran up the score in retaliation for 75. It was the beginning of the end
UW also lost at home to Pitt with their freshman QB named Dan Marino. 8-3 became 9-2 when the ASU game became a forfeit
Beat Texas in the Sun Bowl. Led to two straight Pac 10 titles.
The cupcake non cons were Fresno State and Utah
Those were the days my friend

Charles White rushed for 243 yards in Husky Stadium in that 79 game. I think that record stood until 2003 or 04 when Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for something like 322 yards against the Dawgs.RaceBannon said:1979 was a big year for the Dawgs. 78 was a disappointing follow up to the Rose Bowl.

The other OOC opponent in 79 was Wyoming. -
The TBI and Dementia he developed was quite the side effect of being a football legend. This is sad but also likely a relief.
I love watching that style of play but man the consequences are brutal. -
Also sad that he was younger than I am.
Kids instead of playing football do drugs -
I witnessed his greatness at Oddsun Stadium along with 1500 other duck faithful. This was long before REAL college football was invented in 1994.

I watched him in old Parker stadium against a hapless beaver club the year he won the Heisman. He was incredible. Glad I actually got to see him live at least once.
RIP. -
So twice as many that witnessed him the year I watched him in Parker. Nice!BennyBeaver said:I witnessed his greatness at Oddsun Stadium along with 1500 other duck faithful. This was long before REAL college football was invented in 1994.

USC won a natty when my old man was at UW. Somehow they achieved this in spite of losing to @BennyBeaver 0-3 at Parker Stadium.RaceBannon said:USC was fucking ridiculous
My dad claims that Jim Owens used to get out a hose to mud bog the grass at Husky Stadium to slow down the Juice. -
1978 champion? Hugh Millen must enjoy his 1984 championship ring.

He lost fucking head to head at Legion Field. -
An amazing player. Yow. In those days, USC had an impressive streak of GREAT tailbacks.
A friend of mine calls me up prior to the 1977 Rose Bowl and offered to include me as his +1 at the Fridgedaire dealers New Years Eve sales award winners celebration party in Pasadena which included airfare from Seattle, staying at the same hotel as the Wolverines, and great tickets to the game. Wow, it was mandatory to attend the party and what a dull party as I recall ~ refrigerator sales personnel in attendance ranked down there close to the bottom personality wise [nicest people in the world but dull] so we each drank like 10 gin and tonics. I needed a massive bloody mary in the morning to nurse a world class hangover.
The game was a tough defensive struggle and USC wasn't getting anywhere offensively VS Michigan's stellar defensive front when Heisman Trophy runner-up Ricky Bell was carried off the field ~ and in comes USC's freshman backup [who the hell is Charles White? ] who winds up with 122 electric yards and a touchdown to win the game ~ welcome to the show. -
That was the rumour ~ it was commonly believed that the field crew was prepping the field for the occasional gloomy and sometimes rainy november games vs the Trojans [in those days, we always played USC the second to the last game of the season, followed by the game with the Cougs] ~ something that they complained bitterly about.YellowSnow said:

The tradition of hosting USC in November lasted quite awhile
However the 1990 All I Saw Was Purple game was on a crisp 90 degree September afternoon -
I was there. One of the funnest games I ever went to at Husky Stadium.RaceBannon said:

That was a great game.. we all expected it to be a tough game and as the game went on and the dawgs were literally running them off the field, everyone and especially the Trojans understood how just how good this team really was…

Wasn’t Marcus “Driftwood” Allen the blocking back for a year behind White?
