Will Rogers threw for 271 yards and a pair of first-half touchdowns, Jonah Coleman’s 1-yard TD with 6:22 left gave Washington the lead, and the Huskies beat No. 10 Michigan 27-17 in a rematch of last season’s College Football Playoff championship game
SEATTLE (AP) — Washington quarterback Will Rogers watched the final seconds tick away and wondered if the field at Husky Stadium was about to be flooded with purple.
The Huskies earning the slightest bit of redemption against the team that topped them in last season's championship game felt worthy of celebration.
“I was curious if they were going to do it, but when they did it, it was just awesome,” Rogers said. “I've never been apart of that and it's something I'll remember the rest of my life for sure.”
Rogers threw for 271 yards and a pair of first-half touchdowns, Jonah Coleman’s 1-yard TD with 6:22 left gave Washington the lead, and the Huskies beat No. 10 Michigan 27-17 on Saturday night in a rematch of last season’s College Football Playoff championship game.
