The 10th-ranked Huskies will begin their final season as part of the premier conference on the West Coast with a legitimate chance at a conference title.
The Big Ten presidents' council has voted to admit Washington and Oregon in August of 2024, a crushing blow to the beleaguered Pac-12.Washington's first season with both coach Kalen DeBoer and quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was a magical ride that put the Huskies back on the national stage.
"That would be big. That would definitely be something that would be remembered for a long time," Penix said. "It’s just a blessing to be here. This conference is amazing." It starts with Penix, who should be in the Heisman Trophy discussion from the start of the season after returning for a second year with the Huskies. Penix threw for 4,641 yards and 31 touchdowns last season as Washington went 11-2 and capped its season with a win over Texas in the Alamo Bowl.
Combined with one of the deepest wide receiver groups in the country, led by Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan, there’s the chance Penix could again put up eye-popping numbers. Washington’s offense averaged nearly 40 points per game last season.
