NEW ORLEANS -- Michael Penix Jr. arrived in Seattle two years ago hoping to revive his career. He'll leave as a Huskies legend.
On the biggest stage of his career, Penix turned in his greatest performance, completing 29 of 38 passes for 430 yards as Washington's offense mostly dumbfounded Texas in a 37-31 win in the Allstate Sugar Bowl to advance to the College Football Playoff national championship game.
"[He made the] throws that we know he's capable of," Washington coach Kalen DeBoer said.
