Apple Cup ’05
This pretty much sums it up (from Yahoo sports):
Washington – 1:07
1st-10, WASH30 1:07 I. Stanback rushed up the middle for 3 yard loss
2nd-13, WASH27 1:07 I. Stanback incomplete pass to the right
3rd-11, WASH29 0:41 I. Stanback incomplete pass to the right
4th-11, WASH29 0:35 I. Stanback incomplete pass to the right
26-22 Cougars

I don’t think Stanback was the reason the Huskies lost. It was the defense. The defense was under the smack down for the whole game.

Football is a team game, and the team lost. I’m not specifically blaming Stanback, and furthermore, I’m not only talking about this game. I do feel that what we see here is characteristic of his performanace, and the performance of the whole team the entire season — simply an inability to make plays when it counted. That being said, I’ll take this 1-10 season free of scandal over anything we had in the past few years.
