It’s one of the iconic images of Washington’s perfect 1991 season: Steve Emtman celebrating in an eternal pose, his two index fingers pointing to the sky while standing over a fallen quarterback.
That happened 25 years ago today.
Emtman, the star defensive end, had 10 tackles, four for losses, in the Huskies’ 54-0 romp over Arizona at Husky Stadium on Oct. 5, 1991, perhaps the most dominant defensive performance in a season full of them.
“It doesn’t give you a chance to breathe,” Arizona coach Dick Tomey said of UW’s defense.
