We’re less than three weeks from the long-awaited kickoff to the Pac-12 season, so you know what that means: it’s time for idle speculation about historical Husky players!
Today’s entry in the Countdown asks us to ponder which former Husky would be the most valuable addition to this year’s squad. I’ve added a couple caveats to make the game more fun. First, players who were All-Americans don’t qualify, because it would be too easy to slot Hugh McElhenny or Steve Emtman onto any roster. Second, I’m focused primarily on players from the last 30 years, both because I’m more familiar with them and it requires less mental gymnastics to slot them into a modern style of football.
