00:00People will tell you that the expanded college football playoff has rendered regular-season
00:04games meaningless.
00:06Direct them to the Husky Stadium scenes where Washington defeated No. 10 Michigan to exact
00:11revenge for the national championship game loss they suffered the previous season.
00:16The win won't bring the trophy to Modlake.
00:20But it's easy to overlook given how happy everything is in Seattle.
00:24Following three quarters of positional play, Jonah Coleman's touchdown, an interception
00:29by Cameron Fabiculanan, and Will Rogers's bullying of Will Johnson — of all people
00:34— to force him into a huge defensive pass interference penalty and incur a roughing
00:38the passer flag, helped Washington shut out Michigan.
00:43Was there ever any doubt?
00:45After all, Michael Penix Jr. was in attendance on Saturday and had never lost a game at Husky
00:50Stadium.
00:51Don't respond to that.
00:54Denzel Boston was found in the endzone by Will Rogers, giving the Huskies an early 7-0
01:00lead.
01:01Rogers transferred to UW last season and watched the national championship game from the sidelines.
01:07Later on, he connected with Giles Jackson for a 16-yard touchdown to put the Dogs ahead
01:1314-7.
01:15After that, Michigan started to click.
01:18Alex Orji got off to a slow start, so the Wolverines looked to Jack Tuttle for help.
01:24With him at the center, Michigan's offense was noticeably better despite two costly turnovers
01:29in the fourth quarter.
01:31Tuttle led a string of successful scoring drives that cut UW's lead to 14-10.
01:37The third quarter began with Michigan's offense rolling, and Tuttle finished a 75-yard drive
01:42with an 8-yard touchdown pass.
01:45Then the Huskies discovered who he was.
01:49After intercepting Rogers, Tuttle was unable to capitalize because the Dog defense punched
01:54the ball out on the subsequent drive, keeping Michigan scoreless for the remainder of the
01:58game.
01:59The turnover gave the Huskies excellent field position, and Jonah Coleman took advantage
02:04of it to put together a foreplay, 32-yard scoring drive on his own to give the team
02:09a 24-17 lead.
02:12Cameron Fabiculanan made the play of the game by intercepting Tuttle to give the offense
02:16more excellent field position with Husky Stadium rocking and confidence sky-high.
02:21Once more, the Huskies looked to Coleman, but on a crucial third down, they trusted
02:26Will Rogers.
02:28What was the outcome?
02:30Roughing the passer and defensive pass interference on Will Rogers against Denzel Boston.
02:36Grady Gross was set up from 32 yards out by the Huskies by keeping the ball on the ground.
02:42He took advantage, putting his recent problems behind him and giving the Dogs and Wolverines
02:47that 10-point lead.
02:49With Washington's official admission to the Big Ten, a Saturday night matchup against
02:53Michigan under the lights of Husky Stadium became one of many idyllic scenes.
02:59What was the outcome?
03:00All that UW could have dreamed of.
03:03With the win, Washington improved to 4-2, 2-1 Big Ten, and will play in Iowa the following
03:10Saturday.
