What is the most greased up team to ever play the Washington Huskies?

92 Arizona was the most depressing game of the early years of me being a husky. There was a sober realization that UW was good but not exceptional anymore. Other coaches and teams were catching up and could even out-UW the Huskies as Arizona had on this day.
This question would take a pretty long time to answer objectively as there are a ton of candidates to consider. There was a game at Cal where they ran for something like 500 yards against Ty. Pretty greasy. Similarly Stanford put the smack down on UW one year, I think against Sark, to the tune of a 50ish point win.

Stanford beat Sark 65-21 and 41-0 so it could be either or both of those games.
That said, it was after the 41-0 game when Harbaugh was heard telling his team in the locker room they just beat the highest paid coaching staff in the Pac10.
 
I feel like a greased up team has to be a team with equal or lesser talent.

2006 USC wouldn’t qualify as being greased up but 2008 Cuog would.

Harbaugh was greased up for Pete Carroll for sure.
 
Harbaugh is pretty good at getting his teams to play with a chip on their shoulders even when they actually have superior talent.
 
The 2011 game against Nebraska in Lincoln sticks in my mind for some reason. Taylor Martinez played so damn bad but they greased right on through their whole damn season.
