The win brought a measureofsatisfaction for Tormey, a former Huskies assistant credited with recruiting Mark Brunell and Napoleon Kaufman to Seattle. He interviewed for the Washington job before Rick Neuheisel was hired in 1999. “There were a lot of mixed emotions for me coming back to Husky Stadium,” Tormey said. “But I was focused on my team and what was going on between the lines. I guess the magnitude of this victory really hasn’t sunk in yet.” The schools met for the first game since Washington’s2-0 victory in 1908. Judging from the outcome, the Huskies won't care to see the Woif Pack (4-2) for another 100 years. Nevada of the Western Athletic Conference outplayed the Huskies (3-3) of the Pac-10 in every facet. “We got beat in every phase of the garne offense, defense and special teams,” Huskies coach Keith Gilbertson said. “Nevada outplayed us and they won the game.
