O’Neil: UW’s Jake Browning doesn’t have anything left to prove in Apple Cup

This was supposed to be a story about Jake Browning’s Washington legacy.

Apple Cup Story Time: Ex-UW QB Brock Huard with Tom Wassell

More specifically, it was supposed to be a story about how a victory over Washington State on Friday – or a lack thereof – would affect that legacy.

Then a funny thing happened as I sat down and started writing. I realized what a bunch of unadulterated hooey I was typing out.

The outcome of this game isn’t going to change his legacy at all. It’s going to punctuate it, and while I hope that it will be an exclamation point as he makes Apple Cup history, a loss isn’t going to change the way I see him.
