Storylines Before Michigan Vs Washington
Michigan: After falling short in College Football Playoff semifinal matchups to TCU and Georgia each of the past two seasons, For Wolverines, the third time was the charm. On New Year's Day in the Rose Bowl semifinal, New Year's Day, Michigan defeated No. 4 Alabama in overtime in the Rose Bowl quarterfinal, After a season full of ups and downs, including accusations of sign-stealing that led to coach Jim Harbaugh's suspension for the team's final three regular-season games, Michigan is now just four quarters away from college football greatness.
A violent style of football, known as "bully ball," has preserved Wolverine's reputation throughout the entire season. In the Rose Bowl, it was evident as Wolverine's defense outplayed Alabama at the line of scrimmage, sacked quarterback Jalen Milroe of the Crimson Tide five times in the first half alone (six times overall in the victory). After missing the CFP the previous year due to an injury, running back Blake Corum had an offensive impact by scoring two touchdowns in the triumph over Alabama, including the game-winning touchdown in overtime. Wolverines's opponent on Monday is an offense-focused Washington team that plays a lot more sophisticated kind of football.
Washington: The offense is the offense. That's all there is to know about the Huskies, who have some of the most potent players on that side of the ball. At the very least. All season long, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has wowed fans by leading a devastating passing attack that has elite targets on the receiving end, such as Rome Odunze, Ja'Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan. Penix put on a show against Texas in the Sugar Bowl semifinal, passing for 430 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-31 Huskies victory, following his performance as the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. His season totals now stand at 4,648 yards and 35 throwing touchdowns

Dillon Johnson, a Mississippi State transfer running back who is set to play on Monday after aggravating a lower-body injury against Texas, has had a breakout season that has added to the passing game. All things considered, in coach Kalen DeBoer's second season, Washington -- a squad that was just 5-7 two years ago and is ranked a pitiful 26th in the 247Sports squad Talent Composite -- may very well become the sport's dominant team.
