It couldn’t possibly happen, could it?
There’s no way No. 5 Washington, favored by 36½ points against Oregon State, could drop their first game of the season Saturday, right?
Logic says no way. Basic observation skills do, too.
But history? History says the Huskies better not get cocky.
“I’m not real keen on talking about it,” former UW quarterback Hugh Millen said. “It was the worst day of my football life.”
The day was October 19, 1985, and the opponent was Oregon State. The Huskies had won their first three Pac-10 games that season and came in as 37-point favorites.
