After defeating Southern Mississippi in the Heart of Dallas Bowl, it’s hard to look at the Huskies and not think that they are poised to take off for heights not seen for a while in this program.
DALLAS — For the Huskies, the Heart of Dallas Bowl was about far more than a game played in an antiquated stadium on a gray day in front of a smallish crowd, anticipated by few outside the followers of the two participants.
Oh, the game itself was exhilarating for Washington’s constituency, mind you — a 44-31 Husky victory over Southern Mississippi that concluded just barely ahead of a torrential downpour, an apocalyptic electric storm, frantic tornado warnings and the background serenade of sirens alerting people to get to safe ground, pronto.
