What to expect in the Washington vs. Texas game

This season, the Washington Huskies have had one of the finest runs in college football. The Huskies won all 13 games, including the Pac-12 title game. All of this would not have been possible without their outstanding offense, which is ranked eighth in the country. This attack is supported by a strong defense that ranks in the top 50 nationally.

The Huskies have an amazing quarterback in Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Penix Jr., who's passed for over 4,200 yards and 33 touchdowns this season. On the Longhorns' side, Quinn Ewers poses just as much of a threat, having passed for over 3,000 yards and 21 touchdowns despite missing games with injury.

Ewers and Texas were beaten only once in the regular season, by their bitter rivals, Oklahoma. The Longhorns, on the other hand, defeated No. 4 Alabama, No. 18 Oklahoma State, and No. 23 Kansas State. With a defense ranked 10th nationally going hand in hand with the No. 13 offense in FBS, the Longhorns will be a tough opponent to win against.
