I don't think Washington can run against Michigan. They will end up one-dimensional. The question is whether Penix can overcome that situation. While I very much want UW to win, realistically it is a big ask. If Washington can run just enough to "keep 'em honest", they have a chance. Washington also demonstrated yet again in the second half of the Sugar Bowl that they have red zone issues. Those three field goals kept Texas in the game. If even one of those was a touchdown, there would have been no drama. They should have won going away.
