Paul Skansi returns to help the Huskies, 35 years after his miracle catch in the Apple Cup

Three days each week, Paul Skansi commutes from his home in Poulsbo and heads back to the Washington football offices. There, using his 15 years’ experience as an NFL scout, he volunteers his time to break down film of the Huskies’ upcoming opponents.Thirty-five years after he made one of the most memorable plays in Apple Cup history, Skansi is still playing a part, however small, in helping the Huskies prepare for the Cougars.

“I hope it helps a little bit,” said Skansi, who graduated in 1982 as the Huskies’ all-time leading receiver.

With the Pac-12 North title on the line, Friday’s Apple Cup in Pullman is one of the biggest in the 109-year history of the rivalry.
