This clip also reminds me of how good Jerramy Stevens was. He had some missed games for injury and off field stuff but from a physical standpoint I am not sure there's been another TE at uw that put that much pressure on a defense.
LB's and DB's look like dwarfs next to him and he had a great catch radius and could run.
Was just recently talking about how Stevens was our best TE physically that we ever had - was like a bigger, more fluid, tougher ASJ. Makes sense he went first round after barely playing his last year of college.
2000 had some absolute freak on the field guys who were problems off the field in him Pharms, and Vontoure. Great part is we cleaned those types of guys out of the program but then most other schools probably didn't.
UW was fortunate to get that Oregon State team early and in Husky Stadium. I would argue the two teams which played for the title might not even have been two of the three best teams in the country. Florida State getting in as a one-loss team who lost to one-loss Miami who lost to one-loss Washington is a prime example of why the format needed to expand.
Oklahoma's defense and secondary was nails that year. They were legit as the right stoops was still making a name for himself. FSU was good but no better than the 3 pac schools and Miami. Miami probably should have played Oklahoma that year.

In that Rose Bowl Purdue had an all American tight end and Stevens outplayed him big time. No contest on ability
Fuck you guys. Now I'm thinking Arbys.

That would have been fascinating

There’s a case for 3 other teams to be there ahead of FSU. That was one of the weirder BCS slots I can remember.
