Most Unfortunate Injuries

For better, since WE are winning every game, I think how much McMillan's injury sucks has been downplayed. For me, simply not being able to watch Penix throw to three of the greatest UW receivers on the same field is a sad miss, not even just considering the advantage WE are missing. I also feel like with his grandpa who was a huge Husky fan passing, McMillan was a guy who really really cared about repping UW.
It might be my least favorite injury since I've been following the program. Trying to think of some of the others?
Azeem in 2016
Joe Mathis 2016
Stanback in 2006
Jerramy Stevens in 2001
Curtis Williams in 2000
Anthony Vontoure's mental injuries
Rapp in the Rose Bowl 2018
Gaskin missing even just late against Oregon in 2018 and Cal - Get's lost they probably go undefeated in Pac if he doesn't

I'll go with #25

The most annoying thing about McMillan's injury is how unnecessary the play was
A fake kneel bomb while up by 4 scores with under 30 seconds left?
Wtf was that? -
Rapp? No
Azeem and Mathis were big
Stanback is my answer
I agree we are missing out this year even as we keep winning -
Joe Steele vs UCLA in the LA Coliseum
Aaron Jenkins knee injury - was a highly-touted RB nobody remembers
Mark Brunell in spring ball
Lester Towns foot injury
Paul Arnold back injury

Race can tell us about Bill Douglas going down in the '64 Rose Bowl

I can also remind you that Brunell won the natty by getting hurtDerekJohnson said:Race can tell us about Bill Douglas going down in the '64 Rose Bowl
Harsh but true
I do remember Douglass getting hurt. That cost us -
Locker shattering his hand trying to run block against Stanford wasn't too good but I guess it depends on your perspective. I'm pretty sure UW fails to accomplish 0-12 with a healthy Locker

Oh snap! How can we forget George Wilson in the '26 Rose Bowl. When Wilson was in the game, UW outscored Alabama 19-0. Bama scored all 20 of its points when Wilson was nursing an injury on the sideline. Nursing in the injured sense, not in the Caleb Williams sense.

I remember Aaron Jenkins. He played alongside Vince Weathersby.DerekJohnson said:Joe Steele vs UCLA in the LA Coliseum

I really liked Brunell, but his injury paved the way for Hobert to lead the 1991 team. I don't think that team would have gone 12-0 without Hobert at the helm. Billy Joe had the it factor.
An untimely injury, IMHO, was Greg Lewis in the 1990 against UCLA. I don't think the Dwags lose to the Bruins at home with Lewis in the backfield for the whole game. That was one of the most frustrating games I've ever seen in person. A freshman Tommy Maddox completing short slant routes over and over and the D had not answer for it. -
Rapp was a joke. Though I think he could have made a big difference in that Rose Bowl.RaceBannon said:Rapp? No

Locker was terrible but what did that do in teh end? Just make sure they lost the Apple Cup?
I know you want to keep playing against Michigan State at that point but holy shit it hurts losing someone like that when the game was realistically over.
