HUSKIES Gameday 3 Continued from page 3 Cougars counterparts about what happened the last time Washington State came to Husky Stadium with a top-10 ranking. In 2001, the Huskies earned a 26-14 win over a ninth-ranked Cougars team that entered the game still in the hunt. If this year’s game stays true to form, it is sure to be memorable. Fans of both teams know that when it comes to the Apple Cup, you should expect the unexpected. Last year in Pullman, the Huskies overcame a 10-point deficit with 4:30 left in the game to win in triple-overtime against the third-ranked Cougars. It appeared late in the fourth quarter that Washington was finished, before a quick six-play, 92-yard drive capped by a seven-yard pass from Cody Pickett to Paul Arnold gave Husky fans hope. A series of outstanding defensive efforts kept the Cougars from extending their lead, allowing senior John Anderson to send the game to overtime with a 25-yard field goal. The two teams swapped field goals in the first two overtimes, with Anderson’s UW record fifth field goal of the game — a 49-yarder — putting the Huskies ahead, 29-26, in the third overtime. On the first play of the ensuing Cougars’ possession, junior Matt Kegel threw a pass that hit the hands of UW defensive end Kai Ellis as he fell to the ground, the ball underneath him. Officials on the field huddled as Washington fans cried, ‘!’ and Cougars’ fans shouted, ‘incomplete pass!’ The resulting decision by referee Gordon Riese will forever be a part of Apple Cup lore: “The ruling on the field is that there was a backwards pass,” Riese said. “Washington recovered that backwards pass. The game is over.” More will be on the line in today’s game, however, than state pride — the Huskies are fighting to preserve tradition. Washington hasn’t had a los- ing season in 26 years, the longest such streak in the history of the Pac-10 Conference and the 14th longest in NCAA history. In his last game at Husky Stadium, Cody Pickett hopes to contin- To preserve that streak, Washington will need quarterback Cody Pickett ue his success against WSU, having totaled 739 yards passing in his last two games against the Cougars. and Reggie Williams to continue their dominance over the Cougars. Pickett holds the top-two passing games in the history of the series, with a total of 739 yards his last two contests vs. Washington State. His best game came last year, when he threw for 371 yards. Williams, likewise, has been at his best in Apple Cup games, catching 23 passes for 372 yards in his last two games against the Cougars. He has the top two games in terms of receptions, and two of the top four games in terms of yardage, in series history. Cougars fans, meanwhile, will hope for a repeat of the 1997 Apple Cup, when an 11th-ranked Washington State squad led by Ryan Leaf defeated the Huskies, 41-35, to clinch a Rose Bowl berth. With a 9-2 overall record and a 6-1 mark in the Pac-10, the Cougars’ third trip to the Rose Bowl in the past seven years could be at stake, should the Cougars win and UCLA upset second-ranked USC.

Huskies vs. Cougars History: The Washington-Washington State series dates back to 1900, when the teams played to a 5-5 tie in Seattle, but only since 1962 has the winner been awarded the Apple Cup trophy. Washington holds a commanding 62-27-6 edge in the 95-game series, including a 30-10 record in Apple Cup games. In games played in Seattle, the Huskies hold a 35-13-5 record against Washington State, with a 28- 11-3 mark in games played at Husky Stadium. The Huskies have won the last five Apple Cup games overall, though only the last two straight at Husky Stadium dating back to the Cougars’ Rose Bowl-cliniching win in 1997. Last season, in a game that surely ranks as one of the most memorable ever in the series, Washington shocked the No. 3 Cougars with a triple-overtime, 29-26 win, despite trailing by 10 with only 4:30 to play. The last time the two teams met at Husky Stadium, in 2001, the 16th-ranked Huskies upset the No. 9 Cougars with a 26-14 win. This Saturday’s game will mark only the second time since 1951 that the Huskies have entered the game unranked and the Cougars ranked, with the only other such incidence coming last season.

by Lucas James Mack

nly a select few have been fortunate enough to walk the path. Those who have, know that being a quarterback at Washington takes more than just talent — it takes heart. Sure, Cody Pickett has talent — his 4,458 passing yards in 2002 shattered the Pac-10 single-season record, and his 10,037 career yards make him just the fourth Pac-10 signalcaller to surpass the 10,000-yard milestone. However, it is not his rifle arm or speedy legs that make the Husky senior quarterback remarkable. Instead it is his tough-as-nails demeanor and indomitable heart that are his greatest strengths. “Kids that watch Cody play know how tough he is and that says a lot about his character,” says , a Husky legend in his own right and one who knows a thing or two about being a Cody Pickett role model for young UW fans. “Young people look at his desire to compete and they admire his toughness and leadership.” It’s not what people say about themselves that merits attention; it’s the comments by those who know them or have experienced their path, that paints a true picture of who they are. To understand the real Pickett — the one who says little about his own accomplishments while praising those who have helped mold his career — it is important to talk to In 2002, Pickett became the first player in Pac-10 history to pass those who know him best. for more than 4,000 yards, breaking by more than 800 yards the “People don’t know Pac-10 record of 3,637 set by Washington State’s Ryan Leaf in what he does for our state, 1997. visiting hospitals and fundrais- head football coach at Caldwell High School. “This summer he came to ers,” says Bill Cooper, Pickett’s our camp and spoke to 500 kids.

After helping the Huskies earn a share of the national champi- onship in 1991, Bailey took his game to the next level in 1991, leading the UW back to the Rose Bowl with a Washington and Pac-10-record 17 touchdown receptions. In the 1992 Rose Bowl victory over Michigan, Bailey outdueled winner Desmond Howard, catching six passes for 126 yards to Howard’s one reception for 35 yards. Bailey finished his career with 131 receptions, still the third-most in UW history, for a then-school-record 2,093 yards. His 17 touchdown receptions in 1991, and 26 career scores, remain UW records to this day. A sixth round pick by Houston in the 1992 NFL Draft, Bailey spent three seasons with the Oilers before starring for the Orlando Rage of the short-lived XFL in 2002.

Both members of the same recruiting class in 2001, the duo have different strengths and weaknesses, but work together to improve each other’s game. “He is a big guy and I am a short, speedy guy, so we work well together,” Frederick says. “I try to teach him a little of the techniques I know and he teaches me some of the tech- niques he knows. He can do it all, though — if he gets a smaller DB, he uses his size for an advantage. If he gets a big DB, he uses his speed.” Williams’ size and speed has helped make him a candidate for college football’s highest honor for a wide receiver, named — appropri- ately enough — the Fred Biletnikoff Award. The Husky senior is one of three Williams’ among the 10 semifinalists for the award, a list that includes both Texas’ and USC’s Mike Williams. “I like my Williams best,” Frederick says. On some teams, having two star receivers could create tension, but hard as it may be to imagine, Frederick and Williams are even better friends than they are players. After Frederick broke a 53-year-old UW record with 371 all-purpose yards in the In only three seasons, Williams has moved up to second on the Pac-10 career lists for Huskies’ 38-17 win at Oregon State earlier this receptions and receiving yards, needing just 13 receptions and 508 yards to break both season, Williams was one of the first to congrat- records this season. ulate him.

Williams, however, refuses to speculate on his future. “Whenever I get to the NFL I am sure it will be hard,” he says. “But, I’ll take it on just like I did when I was a freshman here. I will just have to work hard and prepare myself.” Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens … Reggie Williams?

ounded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its Fresearch, instructional and public service missions. Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel Laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and con- tracts awarded to its faculty. In 2000, the most recent year for which that data has been collected, the UW ranked second. Total grant and contract activity for 2001 exceeded $700 million. More than 80 percent of the uni- versity’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library sys- tem that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes. In addition to offering instruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers a spectrum of continuing education courses that advance technical and pro- fessional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and enrich- ment. Washington has 17 major schools and colleges: Architecture and Urban Planning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Forest Resources, The Graduate School, The Information The magnificent architecture of the Washington campus is replete School, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy, with fountains, flowers and greenery.

With about 20,000 employees, Washington is the second-largest employer in King County. Washington operates the University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center, which annually provide more than 200,000 days of patient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpatient clinics. Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new business to the region. It provides these, and established businesses, with a steady stream of well- educated graduates and with highly skilled faculty members who assist business and industry in a variety of ways. The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 703 acres in the city’s northeast residential area, a beautiful setting on the shore of Lake Washington and Portage Bay. The majestic Cascade Mountains can be seen to the east and the Olympics loom to the west, while the western view includes downtown Seattle and Lake Union.

Primarily funded by a $1 million donation from Husky Fever, the Hall of Fame opened to the public on Sept. 7, 2002. Since then, thousands have taken the opportunity to view some of the most memorable game balls, uniforms and trophies of Washington’s outstanding athletic history. Comprised in large part of private donations, the arti- facts housed in the Hall take Husky fans on a trip through time, from Herman Brix’ world record in the shot put in 1928, to the UW crew’s upset of the Russians in 1958, to the Huskies’ win in The Huskies’ 1985 Trophy highlights a display case dedicated entirely to the Don James Era the 2001 Rose Bowl. at the Husky Fever Hall of Fame. “We have a broomstick down marker,” Torrell says. “The College Two of Owens’ best players — George new treasures to the Hall.
