Washington had to travel much further than Texas to get to the Sugar Bowl in the CFP Semifinal, but they were the better team from the jump.
With the win over the Longhorns, the Huskies are the first Pac-12 team to play for a national championship since Oregon took on Ohio State 9 years ago.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to Washington’s convincing win over Texas in the Sugar Bowl.
Michael Penix showed out in a big way, but the complete team effort for Kalen DeBoer’s team was on full display on Monday night.Â
Washington’s rise to a national power under Kalen DeBoer over the last two seasons underscores how absurd the demise of the Pac-12 truly is.
Right as West Coast football was arguably the best it’s ever been, the league splintered.
