Washington’s offense came into this game leading the country in just about every possible metric when it came to explosive downfield passing plays. They torched Boise State and Michigan State with a barrage of deep bombs and still managed their fair share against California. Tulsa had the most success limiting the Huskies but UW still found open receivers all over and 4 drops prevented an even bigger day.
It seems though that Arizona may have found the answer for the first time. Washington’s offense completely changed in this game. Penix had an average depth of target of just 5.
