Dorsey was rattled early on and we were very conservative in the first half while we were making mistakes and they were playing downhill. That's a bad combo.

We adjusted at halftime but had too much ground to make up.

I am sorry, but can you further describe this strange phrase "adjusted at halftime"?

Washington finished #3 and lost one game that year against Oregon, who finished the year #8 .

What's your point?

Further excuses, Moss was dinged and a total non factor and Adrian Wilson a starting DT was dismissed from the team two weeks earlier.

IF I'm not mistaken, Dorsey was a true freshman with no experience in his first game on the road against a top team that year. Also most of the guys who became studs were true fresman or redshirts with no game experience. We were not expected to win that game, I don't even recall us being ranked that year.

Dorsey was a soph. He also had his highest completion % and highest QB rating that season.

Wait, you have to be trolling with that post.
 
How did UF lose to Auburn in 06? Or to Ole Miss in 08? Is Meyer a corch? Get this troll the **** outta here, everyday with the same skewed bull****.

Game Story

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- No home winning streak was ended this time,
but Miami's national title hopes might have been.


No. 15 Washington posted the biggest victory in the Rick
Neuheisel era, defeating fourth-ranked Miami, 34-29, behind
another big day by quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo.


The Huskies (2-0), who halted Miami's NCAA-record 58-game
home-winning streak in 1994, won the battle between the 1991
co-national champions by frustrating the Hurricanes' Ken Dorsey
while relying on their senior signalcaller.


"We're very excited about the win," Neuheisel said. "It was a
very heart-felt win. Maybe not as pretty as one would hope give
the score at halftime (21-3), but we knew that Miami was going
to come back blazing."


Tuiasosopo threw for 223 yards and one touchdown and rushed for
45 yards and a score. But it was his leadership and ability to
escape the Miami pressure on numerous occasions that allowed
Washington to build a 27-9 lead midway through the third
quarter.


He did make two huge mistakes, however, and the second was
allowing defensive back Al Blades to intercept a poorly throw
dump-off pass that gave Miami (1-1) control inside the
Washington 10 with under four minutes to play.


Moments later, James Jackson delivered a one-yard TD run that
pulled the Hurricanes within five points with just under three
minutes left.


But tight end Jerramy Stevens, who caught a career-high seven
passes, including a 23-yard touchdown in the second quarter,
recovered the onside kick with 2:52 to play, essentially sealing
the outcome.


"(Stevens) is an amazing athlete," said Neuheisel. "There's no
question that he has great skill."


"We felt like we were able to make some major adjustments at
halftime to try to get ourselves back in the game," said Miami
coach Butch Davis. We knew they had a very dangerous, very
experiened talented quarterback who could make plays."


Dorsey, a sophomore from California, appeared rattled early in
his first big collegiate game. He was sacked on a cornerback
blitz by Anthony Vontoure, who stripped the ball from the Miami
signalcaller to give the Huskies possession at the Miami 49.


Three plays later Tuiasosopo hit Stevens, whose receptions
totaled 89 yards, down the right sideline to give Washington a
commanding 21-3 lead with 2:02 to play in the first half.


"I'm proud of the dogs," Tuiasosopo said. "I'm proud to be a
member of this team. It was a great win."


"(Tuiasosopo) is good and he tries to make a lot of plays," said
Miami linebacker Dan Morgan. "He runs around and I think he's
good for that team and he gets the job done."


Dorsey completed 15-of-34 passes for 215 yards, including a
21-yard TD to Reggie Wayne midway through the third quarter. But
he was sacked three times.


"This was his first major opportunity against a really good
football team," Davis said. "I don't know if Washington rattled
him as much as the experience of him not ever playing in front
of a crowd like this, on the road, all those things. I thought
he did some things that were very good."


Washington held a 27-15 advantage late in the third quarter,
when Tuiasosopo committed his first major blunder of the
afternoon. His fumble was recovered by Miami linebacker Dan
Morgan, setting up Jackson's eight-yard TD run with 3:50
remaining in the period.


The Huskies, however, regained a 12-point advantage just 30
seconds into the final quarter, putting together a 66-yard,
13-play drive that culminated in Pat Conniff's one-yard scoring
plunge.


Wayne caught four passes for 84 yards and Clinton Portis
collected 91 yards on just six carries for the Hurricanes.


"The real difference in the game in my mind was Portis," said
Nueheisel. "That guy is incredible. He's a sensational player.
He's just very difficult to tackle."

You can prepare players all you want during the week but when saturday and sunday comes and you just are not playing well, that's on the player.
