It’s been said here before and warrants repeating: the Washington Huskies have not been this relevant in the world of college football since Jim Lambright, Napoleon Kaufman, Damon Huard and the 1994 Huskies marched into Miami and ended the 58-game home win streak that the Hurricanes had been cultivating since 1985.
22 years of non-relevance is a long time for a program and a fanbase that has national championship aspirations dating back decades.
Tonight the Alabama Crimson Tide will take on the Clemson Tigers in a championship contest that the Huskies were just one win away from participating in themselves.
