Nick Foles, LA Rams do|| The Turn Nick Foles Interview College Football - "The Immaculate Footception" Will Live Forever in Washington Husky Lore - Part 2 By [http://ift.tt/2azBe8m Bagley (Editor's Note: This is Part 2 of a story about the life of a college football team's season in only two games-one was an abject heartache, and the other an extreme joy. The team was the University of Washington this season, and the events that unfolded brought to mind Charles Dickens' novel "A Tale of Two Cities". Here is what really happened, and when.) As disheartening as Washington's loss was to Notre Dame, what was about to happen was more than the Huskies could ever have expected or imagined. It will live forever in the annuals of Washington Husky football lore. With their season record now at 2-3, Washington's Huskies would return to their home turf and await the arrival of the Arizona Wildcat's glossy 3-1 record with victories over Central Michigan and Northern Arizona at home and over Oregon State on-the-road. Their only loss was by 10 points to the 12th-rated Iowa Hawkeyes in another away game. Arizona coach Mike Stoops (brother of coach Bob Stoops of the Oklahoma Sooners) had compiled an 8-5 mark last year capped by a victory over Brigham Young in the Las Vegas Bowl. The Wildcats were finally getting some national notice, and not anxious to take a step backwards. Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian had quarterbacked for Brigham Young in 1995, leading the Cougars to a 13-1 regular season mark, beating Kansas State 19-15 in the Cotton Bowl, and becoming the Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year. His BYU team became the first in NCAA history to win 14 games in a season. Sarkisian's 162.0 career passing efficiency rating is 3rd all-time in the NCAA. "Sark" needed to convince his players to keep playing hard and believing that Notre Dame was just a blip on the screen in their forward march to success. At game time, the Huskies appeared willing but not always able. Arizona moved the ball at will, piling up 461 yards of offense and successfully throwing enough "bubble" passes to start a bubblegum manufacturing company. Wildcat quarterback Nick Foles made a career out of taking the ball under center, stepping back and sending rockets to the wideouts at the line of scrimmage. The Arizona receivers responded by churning for short yardage before the defenders could come up and tackle, stopping a long gain. Arizona had exposed a Husky weakness and was exploiting it like a trader with an insider stock tip. Washington simply does not have the talent right now to play receivers one-on-one, so they must play off the line of scrimmage to avoid getting beat deep and giving up a long-yardage play. Foles would go 39-of-53 for 384 yards and a touchdown before the night was over, leaving Arizona with a grand total of only 77yards rushing on 30 carries. The Wildcats had built a 33-21 lead with less than 3 minutes to play and it looked like Washington was floating dead in the water. But, then again, this was not last year's 0-12 Husky team. Washington's offensive 11 was still playing hard and believing when a scrambling Jake Locker found tight end Kavario Middleton in the corner of the end zone for a 25-yard TD strike to bring the Huskies to within 5 at 33-28 with 2:55 left.
