No. 15 Washington played like they had something to prove by destroying Colorado 54-7 on Saturday night.
A balanced attack on offense with just shy of 600 total yards fueled the Huskies to their ninth win of the season. But as fate would it, Michael Penix Jr. wasn’t the story of the game. The nation’s top QB went 19-of-31 with a season-low 229 yards and a touchdown.
But Washington’s rushing attack stole the show with 280 yards and five touchdowns. Wayne Taulapapa and Cameron Davis combined for a majority of the carries, along with two scores each.
