Expectations were sky-high for No. 20 Washington entering the 2021 season. It took all of one game for it all to come crashing down.
Year 2 of the Jimmy Lake era opened with a horrendous 13-7 loss to Montana, an FCS team. It was just a brutal performance from the Huskies offensively.
Montana’s historic moment marked the first FCS upset over a ranked FBS opponent since 2016, when North Dakota State went into Iowa City and beat No. 13 Iowa.
In this upset, Montana's defense was the story. Washington scored a touchdown on its first possession but would never score again.
