Richter and Alverez changed the course of UW athletics and the influence is still felt.

I remember the Dan Morton years, they were not good. A Rose Bowl appearance was almost unthinkable back then for UW football fans, Barry got them there a couple of times, and was able to recruit a lot of talent that moved on to the NFL. Just because it wasn't a QB factory doesn't mean they were no good. It's not what it was, but UW still has a very good rep for OL and RB.
