It wasn’t the Huskies’ best game of the 1991 season.
That didn’t do anything to alter the thinking of Oregon coach Rich Brooks, who gave Washington the ultimate compliment after UW’s 29-7 victory at Husky Stadium on this day 25 years ago.
“I said before the game that Washington is the best team I’ve seen in this league ever,” Brooks said. “I still stand by that.”
As the Huskies’ offense sputtered, the defense held Oregon to 129 total yards and forced four turnovers. Tommie Smith and Chico Fraley each blocked a punt to set up two UW scores.
