The 2020-21 Michigan football team will battle the Washington Huskies as their first opponent. How worried should the Wolverines be?
Washington, like Michigan football, has a historically great program that includes 17 conference championships and four national championships since entering the college football in 1916.
The Huskies dropped off the map in the early 2000s for about ten years, which included a winless season, but they have since made a resurgence under former head coaches Steve Sarkisian and later Chris Peterson, who made his name at Boise State before taking the gig at Washington.
