16 DAYS ‘TIL CHRISTMAS
The number 16 signifies the amount of points the 2009 Washington Husky Football Team scored in their monumental upset over #3 USC.
In just the third game of Steve Sarkisian‘s tenure, he faced off against his former mentor Pete Carroll and pulled off the 16-13 win at Husky Stadium.
After coming off an 0-12 campaign the season before, this win was one of the biggest wins in Husky history as it proved to be a major turning point.
The win infused a big jolt of life back into the football program, during a time where they were desperately searching for a lifeline.
