If Washington doesn't manage to come back in the College Football Playoff national championship game against Michigan, they'll be kicking themselves for one missed opportunity in particular.
Facing a fourth-and-7 at the Wolverines' 47-yard line in the second quarter, the Huskies elected to go for it and dialed up the perfect play, as they had wide receiver Rome Odunze wide-open downfield with only the end zone in front of him.
But in what seemed to be a miscommunication between the two Washington players, Penix overthrew Odunze, who hit the turf in his attempt to haul in the pass. The Huskies, down 17—10 at the half, turned the ball over on downs, squandering what felt like a huge opportunity early in the game.
