Huskies make unpleasant homecoming for Bothell grad Ross Bowers
The UW defense sacks the Cal QB seven times during a dominating performance.
Twenty-five years ago, former USC quarterback Todd Marinovich famously said: “All I saw was purple,” following a 31-0 defeat against Washington that has become a treasured footnote in UW football history.
Ross Bowers must have been thinking something similar on a cold and damp Saturday night at Husky Stadium.
In a turn-back-the-clock performance, the No. 6 Washington Huskies relentlessly tormented the California Golden Bears quarterback and transformed what had been an anticipated homecoming for the former Bothell High star into a forgettable and humbling 38-7 defeat.
