Dwag Teams with Low Expectations Who Overperformed

The Petekowski defenses were good to great on the DL and great in the secondary. The LBs never really measured up (after Kikaha and Shaq were gone) except in the fleeting period where both Mathis and Victor were healthy.
I'm not saying there weren't other good players too, like BBK. There just never was a full unit or much depth.

The 2006 team started 4-1 which shocked the hell out of me. Of course, we finished 5-7. But still…

1999 was a weird year. Lost to byu and Air Force to open the season. I don’t really recall what the expectation was at that point… Make a bowl?
Somehow almost made the rose bowl (I know it was a historically bad pac-10, but still).Almost beat a TOUGH and Ranked Kansas state in the holiday bowl. Don James never had to play a ranked Kansas State

I was trying to think of seasons I feel like this one could end up being like and 99 definitely was one. New coach, low expectations, but probably expected to make a bowl and then almost won the conference. I'll say part of that was the Pac-10 sucking so much that year a Willingham Stanford team won it, but still.

DJ Beavers was a very good LB. Injury issues plagued him as well
