It's been more than 30 years since Washington won its lone national championship. Another one has never felt more achievable.
SEATTLE — Heading into the fourth quarter of Saturday’s close, highly intense -Oregon game, the PA at Husky Stadium blared the most famous hit from arguably Seattle’s most famous band: Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” That song came out in 1991. Which happens to be the same year Washington football won its lone national championship.
Just when hope was starting to drain out of the stadium, with Oregon holding the ball and a 33-29 lead for most of the fourth quarter, Ducks coach Dan Lanning inexplicably attempted his third fourth-and-short of the game, this one barely across midfield. Nix’s pass fell incomplete, handing the ball back to Penix. Big mistake. Especially since Oregon had lost its top two cornerbacks to injury by then. First play: 35 yards to Polk to get into the red zone.
