SEATTLE (AP) — Before Rome Odunze left the room, he wanted to share a message about his Washington teammate that was sitting behind the microphones.

“You’re looking at the Heisman Trophy winner right there,” Odunze shouted in the direction of his quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
While voting is still months away, Penix's Heisman moment may have come Saturday on the biggest stage for a pair of long-time Pacific Northwest rivals.
Penix hit Odunze on an 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:38 remaining after another debatable fourth-down decision by Oregon, and Camden Lewis missed a 43-yard field goal attempt on the final play as No.
