Skylar Lin Gallery: One Last Look at UW's Buffalo Stampede

In this story:
The University of Washington football team and photographer Skylar Lin were a lot alike when at Husky Stadium for seven games this season.
They both went unbeaten and finished exceptionally strong.
While the Huskies were separating themselves fairly quickly from Colorado for a 54-7 victory, Lin, a UW architectural student and a photographer when he wants to be for Inside the Huskies at SI.com, had one of his best days behind the camera, as well.
He captured the best image we saw of Cameron Davis' hovering over Colorado players before his barrel roll into the end zone, looking every bit like some UFO levitating over Seattle. Lin was in a perfect vantage point to take multiple frames of that shot.
Linebacker Demario King, who is redshirting after a near season-long injury, had to get on the field somehow. Here chest bumps Makell Esteen following the safety's interception.
Sam Adams II scrambles furiously to try and recover a bad Colorado punt snap in the end zone only to have it skip out the back end for a safety.
Wayne Taulapapa, playing with a heavy heart after losing three Virginia teammates in a shooting, led the Huskies in rushing with 107 yards and scored twice against Colorado.
Running back Richard Newton comes in for a touchdown landing against Colorado, sneaking in below a bevy of tacklers. It was his second score the season, following his TD catch at California.
Quentin Moore, normally the Huskies' third tight end, comes down with a 25-yard catch against Colorado, his third reception of the season.
Texas tailback Jay'Veon Sunday made his season debut against Colorado and picked up 19 yards on his lone carry in the fourth quarter.
Linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio made his third appearance of the season in the Colorado game, following a year-long absence from surgeries and injuries. He had two tackles against the Buffs.
Devin Culp, the Huskies' starting tight end, has had a couple of athletic plays this season, none better than the one-handed catch he made against Colorado.
Cam Davis was headed for the end zone when a Colorado tackler got in his way. While it's possible he could have run over this guy and scored, he took the less conventional manner of flying over him.
Cam Davis did a full somersault to score on this touchdown run, shown halfway through this difficult maneuver. He has 13 touchdowns this season, two coming against Colorado.
Lin was there to capture all of the emotional moments, the big plays, the quirky scenes of a chilly, yet productive Husky outing in front of a crowd of 60,000-plus people, bowl games scouts and likely a pro scout here and there.
Our prodigy photographer came to us a year ago just randomly seeking advice on how to join the veteran media camera men who document games across the city with their lenses. We put him to work and have never regretted that move. In fact, the UW athletic department now utilizes him as a videographer for various Husky sports.
While his work is done in football, Lin will continue to entertain us with game-night images of UW basketball.
