Washington Huskies

Washington's Michael Penix Jr., Oregon's Bo Nix, Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and LSU's Jayden Daniels were announced as the Heisman Trophy finalists on Monday night.

Any anxiety the Texas Longhorns experienced over whether they would be included in the College Football Playoff lifted Sunday when the selection committee matched them against Washington at the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, creating a scene of pure joy at the team watch party in Austin.

Dillon Johnson rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns, Michael Penix Jr. threw for 319 yards and a score and the No. 3 Washington Huskies beat the No. 5 Oregon Ducks 34-31 to win the Pac-12 Championship on Friday night.

The Pac-12 Conference is having a heck of a final kick. No. 3 Washington and No. 5 Oregon are two of the four conference teams ranked in the AP Top 25. They meet Friday for an almost certain spot in the College Football Playoff.

No. 1. Michigan moved up a spot to second after beating Ohio State. Unbeaten Washington was third, followed by unbeaten Florida State. Oregon sits in the fifth spot.

The Washington state Supreme Court has granted a request by the University of Washington and the Pac-12 to put on hold a lower court’s ruling that gave Oregon State and Washington State control of the conference.

While he’s had one big game after another, Rome Odunze can see not all is right with the offense for No. 3 Washington.

Rome Odunze's 23-yard end-around on 4th down sparked No. 4 Washington's final drive and Grady Gross converted a 42-yard field goal as time expired to give the Huskies a 24-21 victory over the Washington State Cougars in the Apple Cup.

The University of Washington Huskies moved ahead of Florida State and into College Football Playoff position, coming in fourth in the latest rankings.

The University of Washington and Washington State University have reached an agreement for a five-year extension of the Apple Cup football rivalry between the two schools.

Michael Penix Jr. threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and No. 5 Washington remained undefeated and clinched a spot in the Pac-12 championship game with a 22-20 victory over No. 10 Oregon State on Saturday.

While No. 5 Washington looks to clinch a spot in the Pac-12 championship game, No. 10 Oregon State could play disruptor in its final home game before 10 teams leave the conference.

A lot of sweat has gone into the perfect record Washington has built so far. The fifth-ranked Huskies' last six wins have all been by 10 points or less, and if they are going to make it to 12-0, they will probably have to keep winning close games.

FOX 13 will broadcast what could be the final Apple Cup football matchup between Washington and Washington State.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and No. 5 Washington pitched a shut out in the second half to rally for a 35-28 win over No. 13 Utah on Saturday.

Ohio State remained No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday night, with Georgia, Michigan and Florida State following the Buckeyes, as the selection committee stood pat with its top eight teams. 

At some point the messages that have flooded Zion Tupuola-Fetui's inbox and social media accounts will slow down. 

The Pac-12 has two teams in No. 5 Washington and No. 6 Oregon that are in the hunt for a College Football Playoff spot.

Dillon Johnson rushed for 256 yards and four touchdowns, Michael Penix Jr. passed for 256 yards and two scores and No. 5 Washington’s prolific offense kept the Huskies unbeaten with a 52-42 victory over No. 24 Southern California on Saturday night.
