Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Pretty sure we(?) were 17 point dogs in that game. I was 9. If my memory serves correctly, Miami was ranked number one in the country. They were still Miami back then.
I remember asking my Dad if it was possible our Huskies could win that Crisp Saturday morn so many years ago. He didn't hesitate: well, yeah, its possible....anything can happen in college football.
The Dawgs were down 14-6 at half. im not sure how many of us deep down thought we'd be on the winning end after all of this was said and done. Certainly even the most optimistic homer could not predict what happened in the 2nd half. Total fucking beat down. in the end it ranks up there with one of the most memorable wins in program history. Ending their home win streak, Laughing at that Tombstone with Washington's name on it.
This game vs Bama takes me back to 1994.... ~17 point dogs. Number one team in the country. No one giving us(?) a chance. Do we have a shot, you ask? ....

A great, great day nonetheless.
Cane fans were assholes before kickoff, and in complete shock afterward.
Ewaliko's hit still causes me to shake my head and say, "Damn."
As I remember, the Huskies were down 7-6 with about 40 seconds left in the first half, when Russell Hairston got beat for a Hail Mary TD. So we're down 14-6. I'm feeling discouraged, and I look over at my dad and he's slumped over and just devastated.
Huskies then score 3 TDs in the first few minutes of the third quarter, and every time something great happens, Dad and I leaped up from the couch hollering, and my Grandma keeps pleading with us to be quiet and not disrupt the neighbors.
I remember interviewing Jim Lambright about that day and he said at one point there was a timeout.... He gathered his players and pointed out to the field. Three different Hurricane players were on the ground being tended to by medical staff.
They were an angry bunch. The home win streak was a huge deal.
Greatest game i ever witnessed.
Ewaliko's hit? I have probably watched it 200 times.
The Richard Thomas screen. I would like to see Coleman duplicate that in the Peach Bowl.
Saban is coaching Alabama and they are not out of shape . So no, "anything can happen in college football" doesnt really apply. If Saban was coaching Miami then, we would have lost by 3 touchdowns. They were so fast. They just cramped up every other down and we took advantage. Kaufman only gained I think 88 yds on the ground, but was one of his best games. He was awesome, so was Bruener (his best game).
Kaufman laid on that dude on Richard Thomas long run. The real husky fan knows what pup is talking about. Most of you ding dongs were playing with your beanie babies when Kaufman outran everyone to make that block.
