The Washington Huskies secured a significant 27-17 victory over the Michigan Wolverines in a highly anticipated rematch of the national championship game. The Huskies took an early 14-0 lead, but the Wolverines fought back to take a 17-14 lead. However, Washington tied the game and ultimately took control in the fourth quarter to secure the win.
Quarterback Will Rogers led the Huskies with 271 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Denzel Boston and Giles Jackson contributed to the scoring effort. The victory marks Michigan’s second loss of the season and their first conference defeat.
Both teams have undergone significant changes since their national championship meeting, with many key players moving on to the NFL. Additionally, both teams have new head coaches at the helm.
The Huskies will take on Iowa next week, while Michigan will have a bye week before facing Illinois. It was a sweet victory for Washington, avenging their heartbreaking loss in the national championship game nearly nine months prior.
