The final season of Pac-12 football is coming down to a thrilling conclusion. The conference wraps up regular-season play this week before the title game in Las Vegas on Dec. 1.
Washington’s first season with both coach Kalen DeBoer and quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was a magical ride that put the Huskies back on the national stage. Their second season comes with a straightforward goal — win the Pac-12 one last time before Washington takes up residence in the Big Ten. The 10th-ranked Huskies will begin their final season as part of the premier conference on the West Coast with a legitimate chance at a conference title. If the defense can show significant improvement from last season, the Huskies could find themselves in the College Football Playoff conversation.
Shohei Ohtani watch is on. Not Ohtani’s home runs or strikeouts or any of his magnificent numbers from the field. Nothing like that. It’s all about how much his next contract will be worth.
