ATLANTA — If all the forecasts are true; if the predictions hold up and Alabama decimates Washington like a descending shoe would a cockroach, then Huskies fans will have one man to thank.
Don James.
Yes, had it not been for the Dawgfather, UW probably wouldn’t have to play one of the greatest college football teams in history Saturday. Had it not been for James’ promising words, the Huskies wouldn’t have to face such a menacing foe.
See, back in 1973, when James was the head coach at Kent State, he had an off-the-cuff conversation with a former safety of his named Nick Saban.
