Quick postgame wrap

And I do mean quick.

We could go over all the numbers of this 16-13 overtime loss, but why bother. The bottom line is the Huskies lost.

Again.

And now they’re likely looking at 0-12 with a game at Cal looming.

So rather than get into the ugly details, I’ll just leave you with this fantastic quote from Willie Griffin (who had a hell of a game, by the way). This is really all you need to know about this season.

“No disrespect to them, but we went up against a team that everybody is saying is the worst in the nation, and you can’t pull out a win, I mean, you’ve got to look at yourself and ask yourself, ‘What are we?’”

Well said, Mr. Griffin, well said.
