It’s been a foregone conclusion since the Huskies defeated Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday night but Washington will square off against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl. This is UW’s first appearance in Pasadena for the postseason since 1/1/2001 when they defeated a Drew Brees-led Purdue Boilermakers team 34-24.
Washington’s Pac-12 best defense will face a heavy challenge going against the high-powered Ohio State offense led by Dwayne Haskins who passed for 4,580 yards and 47 touchdowns this season. It’s also a matchup against the two current coahces with the highest career winning percentages.
