2004 Citrus Bowl (Napoleon's World)

The 2004 Citrus Bowl was the site of the 2003-04 NCAA National Championship Game for football, as decided by the Elite Series Bowl conference in 2000 in San Diego. The game pitted the No.1 and No. 2 teams in the nation, the 12-0 Washington Huskies and the 11-1 Huron Highlanders, against one another, both teams having won national championships at some point during the previous five years.

The game was a 35-24 Husky victory, noteworthy for the near-loss by the Huskies as the Highlanders staged an epic comeback attempt starting in the third quarter. The game denied the Highlanders a chance at an 11th national championship and 4th title since 1991, and gave the Huskies their second national title in three years and in school history, cementing Washington as a modern dynasty and college football superpower.
