The highs and lows of the Steve Sarkisian era at UW

Scroll through to see the five best and worst moments in Steve Sarkisian's eventful five seasons as head coach of the Huskies.

In Sarkisian’s third game at UW in 2009, the Huskies used a stout defensive effort to rally from a 10-0 deficit and stun No. 3 USC, 16-13. Jake Locker drove the Huskies 63 yards on 10 plays to set up Erik Folk’s game-winning kick, prompting fans to storm the field at Husky Stadium to celebrate UW’s most important victory since the 2001 Rose Bowl.

In the penultimate game of the 2010 regular season, on the game’s final snap, Chris Polk scored a touchdown on a 1-yard run to give the Huskies a 16-13 victory at Cal and keep alive UW’s hopes of a bowl berth.
