Nov. 13 CALIFORNIA 12:30 p.m. Nov. 20 at Washington State (ABC-TV) 5:00 p.m. HUSKIES vs. BULLDOGS HISTORY: Surprisingly enough for two teams from the West Coast, Washington all times are Pacific and subject to change and Fresno State have met only one time in their history. Sept. 29, 1979, at Husky Stadium, the No. 9-ranked Huskies beat Fresno State, 49-14, in what many in the press (as well as Coach Don James) regarded as a lackluster UW performance, final score nonwithstanding. Washington, fresh from a come-from-behind 21-17 2003 PAC-10 FINAL STANDINGS win the previous week vs. Oregon in Eugene (the UW scored on a 53-yard punt return with 1:59 left to win 21- Team Pac-10 Overall 17) had moved into the top 10 for the first time in the Don James era when the unranked Bulldogs came to 1. USC 7-1 12-1 Husky Stadium. After quarterback Tom Porras got the UW on the board with a nine-yard TD run 2:48 into the 2. Washington State 6-2 10-3 first quarter, Fresno State replied with a 73-yard touchdown drive that was helped along by a converted 3. Oregon 5-3 8-5 fourth down and a 40-yard pass interference penalty. Ken Lovely scored on a one-yard run to cap the drive. On California 5-3 8-6 the ensuing kickoff, UW return man Anthony Allen was tackled in the endzone for a safety and Fresno (which 5. Oregon State 4-4 8-5 had missed its PAT) led 8-7. Late in the opening quarter, the Bulldogs made it 14-7 when Gary Kaiser hit Washington 4-4 6-6 James Terry on a 20-yard pass. However, Washington would go on to score 42 unanswered points, including UCLA 4-4 5-7 21 in the second quarter, to roll to the win. Mike Lansford hit two field goals, the UW got scoring runs from Toussaint Tyler (3 yards), Joe Steele (69 yards) and Willis Ray Mackay (1 yard) and two TD passes (Tom Porras 8. Arizona State 2-6 5-7 to Paul Skansi, 23 yards; Tom Flick to Steele, 5 yards) to account for their total. Steele finished with 133 Stanford 2-6 4-7 rushing yards on 14 carries while Porras passed 11-for-16 for 158 yards and one TD. For the Bulldogs, Lovely 10. Arizona 1-7 2-10 ran for 83 yards on 24 tries while Kaiser was 10-for-27 for 197 yards and a TD to go with five interceptions. Incidentally, future Fresno star Henry Ellard, only a freshman in 1979, had two punt returns for 51 yards. EARLY PAC-10 GAMES ORANGE BOWL TEAM REMEMBERED: Washington’s 1984 team, which won the 1985 Orange Bowl USC 24, Virginia Tech 13 (Aug. 28) vs. Oklahoma, will be honored as part of Saturday’s game as the “Husky Legend”. The day will also include UTEP at Arizona State (Sept. 2) special recognition for that team’s defensive coordinator, Jim Lambright. Lambright, a former Husky player Washington State at New Mexico (Sept. 3) and longtime assistant coach, went on to serve as the UW head coach from 1993 to 1998. Northern Arizona at Arizona (Sept. 4) California at Air Force (Sept. 4) SUNDAY OPENER: In an unusual turn, the Huskies will open the 2004 season on a Sunday, having moved their opener back by one day so that their matchup vs. Fresno State can air live to a nationwide Oregon State at Louisiana State (Sept. 4) audience on Fox Sports Net. The fact that the NFL doesn’t get its season underway until the following San Jose State at Stanford (Sept. 4) weekend allowed for the move. The obvious question — has Washington ever played a game on a Sunday? Oklahoma State at UCLA (Sept. 4) The answer is no. At some point in their history, the Huskies have played a game on every day of the week Fresno State at Washington (Sept. 5) other than Sunday, many of those non-Saturday contests coming in bowl-game action. In the early years of UW football, games on Thursday and Friday were not at all uncommon. On two occasions, 1961 and 1978, SEPTEMBER 11 GAMES the Huskies played in the Rose Bowl on January 2, as those two years, New Year’s Day fell on Sunday. Utah at Arizona Incidentally, the last time the UW opened a season on a day other than Saturday was in 1999, when the Arizona State at Northwestern Huskies traveled to Brigham Young for a Thursday night ESPN game and fell to the Cougars, 35-28.

NEW HUSKY STADIUM BOOK: Few football venues in America rival the rich history and gameday pageantry of the University of Washington’s Husky Stadium. From its establishment in 1920, the Stadium has hosted UW’s hard- nosed brand of exciting football as well as other major spectacles including the International Goodwill Games. Now, as never before, the remarkable history and gameday pageantry of a sports palace are brought to exhilarating life in Husky Stadium: Great Games and Golden Moments. Published by Parker Hood Press, the 160-page coffee-table sized book features 160 pages and retails for $45. Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Washington athletic department’s scholarship endowment fund. W. Thomas Porter and Jim Daves, co-authors of the previous best-seller, The Glory of Washington, chronicle the clashes of great football teams and players that are part of Husky Stadium lore and that heighten the aura of gameday. The Voice of the Huskies, Bob Rondeau, provides a stirring introduction, and Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Robin Hood adds richness to the book by capturing the stadium in its wide-ranging moods, from pre-game calm to the howling, heart-pumping fun of fans celebrating a Husky victory. Husky Stadium: Great Games and Golden Moments will be available on an exclusive basis at the University Bookstore (4326 University Way NE) from Aug. 16-30 before being released to a wider market. The book can also be ordered online at www.huskyfever.com, and copies of the book will be on sale at Washington’s Kickoff Luncheon Sept. 2 at Dempsey Indoor.
