If you think it's hard sitting through the wind and the rain at Husky Stadium, try taking high-quality photos as Montlake often tries to drown you or blow you into Lake Washington.

Beat writers sit in a covered press box, albeit with the windows open, but not far from the game-long popcorn and the soda machine.

Husky offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and other coaches occupy a comfortable, enclosed place to work high above the field.

Not Skylar Lin.

This University of Washington architectural student who doubles as a home-game photographer for our Inside the Huskies at SI.com website just shrugs off the elements and comes back with memorable images of UW players sharing their emotions and making big plays.

Jalen McMillan goes up with a pair of Oregon State defenders to make a difficult catch during Friday night's game at Husky Stadium. The UW wide receiver finished with 4 grabs for 59 yards.

WHEN THE LEVY BREAKS / Skylar Lin Visuals

UW defensive tackle Tuli Letuligasenoa bull rushes past Oregon State's Heneli Bloomfield as he tries to chase down quarterback Ben Gulbranson during the Huskies' 24-21 victory at home. Letuligasenoa finished with 4 tackles, including half a tackle for loss.

Cam Davis earned his first start of the season at running back against Oregon State and led the Huskies with 55 yards rushing on 11 carries. Here he splits a couple of Beavers defenders while heading upfield.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. gets on the phone and presumably goes over a few things with Husky offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb up in the press box.

Cornerback Mishael Powell and Husky hybrid Kamren Fabiculanan share a moment during Friday night's game against Oregon State. Powell made his first start in six games after getting injured against Michigan State.

Giles Jackson gives up his body as he dives for the end zone late in Friday night's game against Oregon State. He picked up 12 yards to the Beavers 2 after catching a pass. He had two receptions and a run for 18 yards.

Tight end Jack Westover catches a 24-yard scoring pass against Oregon State in the East end zone, for the second touchdown reception of his Husky career. The other came in 2019 at Arizona.

A hulking Jeremiah Martin breaks through to slap down a pass by Ben Gulbrandson, helping limit the Oregon State quarterback to a modest 12-for-19, 87-yard, no-score passing outing at Husky Stadium.

Cam Davis offers a sideline welcome to quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and fellow running back Wayne Taulapapa after the latter scored one of his two touchdowns against Oregon State.

Peyton Henry kicked his first game-winner of a five-season Husky career, converting this 22-yarder against Oregon State with eight seconds left. In his time in Montlake, he's 64 of 80, and this season, he's been good on 12 of 14.

Lin took the field on Friday night for the UW-Oregon State game wearing nothing more than a light pullover, but he obviously works best when he's feeling a little chilled in Montlake.

At least — and the coaches, players, fans and Lin will thank the meteorological gods for this — it didn't rain.

All around the outskirts of the city, the wet stuff came down in buckets, turning the suburbs into the Philippines over the weekend, but Seattle proper and Husky Stadium were spared.

Lin, who gets better with each game, offers all sorts of emotional exchanges and heroic moments to put you in the middle of the Huskies' 24-21 last-second victory over Oregon State. Check out his gallery.
