SEATTLE — It's a familiar refrain for the Colorado Buffaloes: a third straight game against a top 15 team led by an elite quarterback.
The latest version for the Buffs is Saturday's 7 p.m. game at Washington, where Colorado will face the No. 15 Huskies and quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who has thrown for a nation-leading 3,640 yards thus far this season.
"It's a monumental task for our football team," CU coach Mike Sanford said earlier in the week. "And we're excited for that task."
The Buffs (1-9 overall, 1-6 Pac-12) are huge underdogs against the Huskies (8-2, 5-2), who are coming off a big win over Oregon and still have a chance to earn a berth in the Pac-12 championship game.
