Throwback Game of the Week
This is a game that’s very near and dear to my heart, and I’m going to tell you why.
For the 3 prior seasons, Stanford won all 3 meetings, proving that they were in the upper echelon of the conference. And they did it with an established identity, pounding the rock with a pro style attack that at the time seemed inevitable and invincible. But in 2016, it was the Huskies who imposed their will on that Friday night on Montlake. 210 passing yards and 214 rushing yards are all well and good, but to me, the fact that the Huskies held Christian McCaffrey, perhaps the best all around running back since Marshall Faulk, to only 79 total yards across rushing and receiving, stands out even more, as the Huskies rolled to an easy 44-6 victory! Psalm Wooching led the way with 3 sacks, and Vita Vea forced a fumble to round out a fantastic defensive effort!
That’s all for today, so thank you very much for making Dots a part of your morning and as always, Go Dawgs!
