While the starting offense is no doubt elite, why did our second unit struggle so much in the second half? Or rather, WHERE did they struggle? What does that mean when Penix and our elite receivers head to the NFL? -2016Husky

Where did they struggle? Here’s the run/pass sequence starting with the drive that Penix exited the game.

Run, run, run, pass, run, run, run, run, pass. Run, pass, pass. Run, run, run, run, penalty, run, run, run, run, run, kneeldown.

Notice anything in that pattern? Washington ran the ball 17 times versus 4 passes.
