We beat UCLA on Saturday... 29-19. It was beautiful. Glorious. Wonderful. Amazing. Incredible. Joyful. Easily the most excited/happy I have been in a long time. We were 8 point underdogs (the last prediction I had seen was UCLA 31, UW 23) and it looked like that was going to come true based on the first half of the game. But then we scored a touchdown right before halftime, which helped ease the tension. In the second half (as well as the first) our defense kept UCLA from scoring touchdowns so they had to settle for field goals. Eventually, with like 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter, it was UCLA 19, UW 14, when we scored a touch down and then went in for a 2 point conversion... and made it. So that right there was totally awesome, if ever there was a time to try for the 2 points instead of the extra point, it was then. And then on practically the next play, we intercepted the Bruins' ball and ran it in for another touch down. Thus resulting in our wonderful score of 29-19.
3-1 baby!!! Undefeated at home thus far... and half way to a bowl game. Just you wait and see... Husky football is on the return, and they WILL be a force to contend with. I heart Willingham. Maybe some day I will do a post on how much I admire him, but for the time being, that is all I will say.
