Woo-hoo Huskies! 

Have they finally returned to national prominence?

I don't know if Washington is very good. A 16-13 win isn't a high scoring game. I still can't believe they beat USC though. Maybe this is the turnaround year. Although can you really follow a no-win season with something much better?

In the first game, Washington outgained highly ranked LSU in total yards by 478-320. They kept the game close, but had to settle for too many FGs. In the second game, they scored 42 points against a team that they were supposed to beat (Idaho), but had not been beating in recent years. Now, they defeat the highly ranked top contender for their division.

Granted, their new head coach was a former USC coordinator, but the talent is obviously there and this kind of win will help recruiting. I think UW will have a great year this year. They have set up the possiblity of PAC-10 champs.

I'm just excited to be able to wear my Husky jacket and sweatshirt with out having Oregon and Oregon St. fans laughing at me. 

.....or Idaho and Nevada fans laughing..... 

I think a bowl game is a lock at this point. To hang tough against one ranked opponent and defeat another means you have a bowl contender. I think the confidence is back. it's just another year or so before Washington is bane of every Florida team.
