Curtis Williams was paralyzed during a game against Stanford in Palo Alto. Washington had a third quarter lead of 24-6 but saw it fall apart until Stanford took a 28-24 lead with about a minute to play. But then Marques Tuiasosopo led the Dawgs 80 yards in 3 plays to score a touchdown pass to Justin Robbins (see photo). Washington won 31-28, but their locker room was silent afterwards.

Stanford has always been dedicated to not being dedicated
Life goes by fast.
24 years. Fuck.
Time just flies…
I wish every Husky team had that team's moxie
I’d say 2023 did. Until it didn’t mid January
I was there and having a serious manic episode. Talked lots of shit to Stan fans and was correct re: the final drive. Didn’t understand the seriousness of CW’s injury at the time. Crazy day. Exhilarating but ultimately very sad.
I remember listening to that game ending as I was ferrying my kids around from one birthday party gig to another. Was sitting in the parking lot of Lynnwood Lanes when UW scored the winning TD. I honked. I was one of those people.
Good times.
24 years ago? This photo looks like it’s from WW2.
If 2024 had that teams moxie they are 6-2 minimum, maybe 7-1. This team has a needle dick persona on the road and I don’t watch them when they aren’t at HS. Not since about third quarter Iowa. What’s the point? They are who they are. That said, they’re beating USC this weekend. They’re actually sorta tough at home.
But Sam Darnold lives for moments like this
One of, if not the, most bizarro games in Husky history. RIP Curtis Williams, paid the ultimate price. Fukin shame they don't honor him.
You are aware of the person he was off the field, right?
Well UW had his number painted on the sidelines for about 15 minutes until the Victory and Ruins articles came out, then CW was memory holed at UW.
I was not there!
listened on radio
I was there. Never been more wet and miserable at a game. Also remember, Oregon "lost" their game against, ASU I believe, while we were still ahead. Some cheer queer yelled out that Oregon lost, putting us in first place and in the Rose Bowl driver seat. Then Stanford hits, what seemed like the7th straight onside kick recovery and word gets out Oregon actually won on some last minute retarded fluke shit. Those last three plays seemed like the most important three plays in UW history at that particular time.
