On this day in sports history… Kenny Wheaton’s ‘The Pick’ was born

 

The date is October 22, 1994. The Oregon Ducks are hosting rival No. 9 Washington at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. 

There is 1:05 left on the game clock and Huskies quarterback Damon Huard drove the team down the field to the

eight yard line and in need of a touchdown down 24-20.

 

Then THE PICK!

The fact that it was the Huskies was just icing on the cake. After how Washington had talked down to Oregon for so many years, it was almost like divine retribution.  I think it was that and of course the "Kenny Wheaton's gonna score!  Kenny Wheaton's gonna score!  of Jerry Allen over the radio to cement it into our minds till we die.  God bless you Kenny, wherever you are.
