As we turn the page and focus our attention on this fall, here’s one last look back at one of the stories that shaped 2016 season...
I said it. I think a lot of Husky fans said it: “I want the Rose Bowl. Alabama will kill us.”
And so it was; UW fell semi-flat against USC at home and the College Football Playoff dreams were quietly extinguished. Still, this team had played seemingly perfect games week in and week out. It wasn’t going to hold up. There wasn’t really anything to be ashamed of. Now Chris Petersen’s Huskies could refocus on closing out the season, finishing strong, and use an Apple Cup triumph as a springboard to a convincing Pac-12 title.
