On this date 25 years ago, Billy Joe Hobert and Beno Bryant led a big second-half surge as the No. 4 Huskies rallied to beat No. 9 Nebraska in Lincoln.
It was one of the Huskies’ most memorable victories of the 1991 national-championship season. And, as they trailed by 12 points late in the third quarter, it probably looked for awhile like their most improbable win, too.
The final score in Lincoln, Neb.: No. 4 Washington 36, No. 9 Nebraska 21.
That was 25 years ago today.
As part of a periodic flashback to 1991 championship season, we’ll revisit some of the great moments of the greatest team in Husky history through The Seattle Times archives.
