Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell knows the pressure of a big game.  He was the starting right inside linebacker for the University of Washington football team.  They were playing against a bigger, more experienced University of Michigan team in the 1978 Rose Bowl.  Despite being double-digit underdogs, the Huskies emerged victorious with a 27-20 score.  Now, on the eve of Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship, where the underdog Huskies once again face the Wolverines, the mayor reflects on that legendary game and how this UW squad embodies the spirit of the city.
