Yeah. I'm 55. This is my indoctrination to Husky football. When I fell in love. I've told the story on here many times but my beloved late mom Johanna who was a Bavarian immigrant made sure we either listened to the Huskies on the Grundig stereo she brought over or we watched on our tiny BW TV. My 6 year old me becoming a Husky fan.

Was waiting for this post. Thanks Bruh.

TBH those cats are before my tim. My first Husky memory is losing to Erickson in the snow in 1988. Conklin, Lewis, Riley and then Brunell, Lewis, Bailey were really my indoctrination. Just in tim for the 100th anniversary of Husky Football. I must have read that book 1000 times over. I found my original copy at my mom’s a few years ago and It was shredded. Between that book and my dad’s memory I feel like I was there for 59-60 and 79-88. I’d read about the games and the players then ask my dad for his opinion on what I’d read. I became obsessed pretty quick. Then we win a natty and I talked shit. It was all over for me.
 
our 91 team gets much pub because they were one of the all tim great defenses of college football EVER and anchored by an absolute beast that was the single best player in 91

The 91 offense was very good
QB Billy Joe and Mark Brunell
TB Beno and Jay Barry (true frost Nip)
FB Matt Jones and Darius Turner
TE Pierce and Bruner * both TE and FBs were great blockers
Wr Mario an McKay
and an NFL oline

That team in a 12 team playoff of all time great college teams most likely makes the F4. The defense gets all the headlines for good reason but the offense was very good especially with that era of grinding out wins through the line of scrimmage. Great defense with a great running game equals championship football.
 
There's at least 4 teams in this conference where once you force them into their very first 3rd and long, the game is over.
 
I'm going 1990 with Brunell + Billy Joe, Greg Lewis + Beno, and either Mckay + Bailey, and they had Aaron Pierce ~ our most loaded offense ever.

I’m thinking many here short changing the 91 offense absolutely didn’t see or watch or were too young. The passing game these days are light years ahead of the 90d game.
 
@RoadDawg55 Respectfully, 23 had the best aerial attack no question but was one dimensional with a good but not great offensive line. Ok, the aerial dimension was god like when it was on ~ no question, but one dimensional none the less.
90 and 91 offenses were more balanced and the OL was geometrically better ~ and the offense was more powerful because of that.

Basically a different game from the 90's to what today's game is. I don't see how anyone can really compare what would happen between the two teams. Each team is less successful if you swap eras, IMO. McMillan probably touches the old teams out of the slot. 90/91 does what Michigan did on offense and controls the ground and the clock.
