(S3) - PT #3 - Flashback

[Rindiee]

Although Budda has had a short career up until this point, this does not negate from the facts: He was a FANTASTIC collegiate player. As many of you know he was a very mobile QB at the time, he even declared for the draft as a QB before being asked to switch to WR. Either way, in the 2016-2017 season Browning led University of Washington to a 45-10 route over Colorado University in the PAC-12 Championship. This would help solidify his draft stock and proved what he could do against a talented defense such as CU. As a result UW finished the regular season 12-1 at #4 in the nation. As a result they would be invited to their first ever College Football Playoff appearance! Lucky for them, they had to come up against the #1 team in the nation: The Alabama Crimson Tide, in the Peach Bowl. Everything that occurred in that game we don't talk about. Although a great season came to a sad ending, it is still an amazing memory. Not only was UW able to take home a conference championship, but Budda was able to take home some hardware for himself. In 2015 he won PAC-12 Freshman of the Year AND PAC-12 OPOY. An award he would take home for THREE STRAIGHT YEARS! He also won the Pac-12 Championship POTG. Unfortunately, he would come up short in the Heisman voting in his historic 2016-2017 conference championship run. We can only imagine what damage Baker would have caused had he stayed at the "U" for an additional year.
