Unfortunately it did not result in bringing the Natty back to Seattle as the Dawgs came up short on the biggest stage of all. In arguably one of their worse games this season, UW went down early but were able to shake off those jitters and settle in to show glimmers of hope going into halftime. The D held their own for most of the 2nd half, replicating that “bend but not break” trait that they have exhibited all year. However, uncharacteristically the offense was not able to get on track and show the national audience the skill and talent they have been capable of all year and the defense finally broke. Although it was not the result that we hoped for, you can’t help but be proud of this team. To win the last Pac-12 Championship, have a College Football Playoff berth, win the Sugar Bowl to advance to the National Championship, and end with a 14-1 record was a monumental feat and certainly a season of a lifetime to remember for the players, coaches and fans.
