Arr! Pro Football Hall o' Famer and Washington Huskies legend, Warren Moon, parleyed with Fox News Digital 'bout the grand national championship game betwixt Washington and Michigan. Ahoy, matey!
For one former Washington player, this game brings everything full circle. Warren Moon, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, played his last collegiate game against Michigan in the 1978 Rose Bowl. He is rooting for his alma mater to come out on top and become the last Pac-12 champion before the conference change.
While Moon is optimistic about Washington's chances, he is also saddened by the departure from the Pac-12. He acknowledges that money plays a significant role in the decision, but he laments the loss of a conference that has excelled in sports over the years.
To defeat Michigan, Washington's quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., will need to be at his best. He has shown great skill in recognizing defenses and making the right plays. The Huskies' receivers also pose a challenge for Michigan's defense, which will need to step up to the task.
Protecting Penix will be crucial, as Michigan has a strong pass rush. However, Washington's offensive line has been voted the best in the country, giving them an advantage in this area.
While Washington's passing attack is their strength, the health of running back Dillon Johnson is a concern. He aggravated a foot injury in the previous game, but the team expects him to play in the national championship.
The game between Michigan and Washington promises to be an exciting matchup, and kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday.
