Kevin King’s spectacular interception was the boost UW needed

Cornerback Kevin King’s one-handed interception Saturday night was the play of the year for the Huskies.

We are taught from the day we enter the newsroom to avoid hyperbole at all costs. Superlatives should be sparse, exaggeration should be evaded — getting caught up in the moment must be sidestepped.

So with that in mind, here’s an indisputable truth: Cornerback Kevin King’s one-handed interception Saturday night was the play of the year for the Huskies.

Actually, King may have had the best interception in college football this year. Michigan’s Jourdan Lewis made a diving, one-handed pick against Wisconsin last month, but that was on the 45-yard line in the middle of the field.
