With Michael Penix Jr. under center at quarterback, the Huskies offense was high-powered. Washington led college football with an average of 343.8 passing yards per game, and the Huskies had the No. 12 total offense in the NCAA.
The Huskies earned a 13-0 record under DeBoer this season. They earned quality wins over Oregon, including a second beating in the conference title game, in addition to victories over Oregon State, USC and Utah.
DeBoer and Washington are 23-2 over his two seasons as head coach. They’ll face No. 3 Texas in the Sugar Bowl during the CFP semifinals on Jan. 1, 2024.
