00:00 34-31. Two games against Oregon this year. Washington wins both.

00:08 13 games including last night's Pac-12 Championship game and

00:12 Washington won all 13. Kev, what did you see out of the

00:15 Huskies last night in that Pac-12 title game in Las Vegas

00:19 and what does it mean for Washington here in 2023? Well,

00:22 it it means they're in the college football playoff.

00:24 There's no doubt about it. Sitting at three, picking up a

00:27 top five win based on how the committee has slotted these

00:29 teams. We have now officially put one team into one of those

00:33 final four slots. Not to take anything away from Washington

00:37 but I think it's true that Oregon is one of the most

00:41 overrated teams in all of college football. I know they

00:43 played very well and they they found a way to beat up on

00:45 teams. The win at Rice Eccles is still one of the most

00:48 impressive of the season but when it came down to it, this

00:51 team finishes with just one win against top 25 opponents.

00:55 Their test was Washington. They failed both times. Yeah and

00:58 and you look at Washington in terms of that match up being an

01:01 underdog heading into that ball game not by one or two points

01:04 but by almost double digits, Ben, like you alluded to. I

01:08 think they took a chip on their shoulder and it was evident in

01:11 terms of the first quarter of that ball game. Yeah. They came

01:14 out focused. The biggest thing for me was the offense and

01:16 defense line play of Washington because I think a lot of people

01:20 and experts thought heading into that ball game, the

01:22 ability to run the football between the tackles, that would

01:25 benefit Bucky Irvin and the Oregon offensive line. Yeah.

01:28 Quite the contrary, right? Dylan Johnson steps up two

01:31 touchdowns, a buck fifty-two on the ground and the way the

01:34 Washington defense contained Bo Nix, he made some plays but to

01:39 contain that offense to three at ten on third down conversions,

01:42 basically that was the difference in the ball game and

01:44 why they picked it up by three points.

01:48 (upbeat music)
