Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Clearly you haven't watched any Washington football this year.
https://theathleteshub.org/2017/12/08/ncaaf-college-football-playoff-bowl-predictions/Elsio’s Take: This is a game of two teams who found some glory last year, with Washington entering the top four, and Penn State being a notable snub. Penn State went on to lose a close game to USC in the Rose Bowl, and Washington got blown out by Alabama in the semi-finals. This will be an interesting game, but Penn State has a key advantage, and his name is Saquon Barkley. Penn State is the more complete team, and I have them winning in a game that could go down as an instant classic: 28-21.
Kaleb’s Take: It’d be an understatement to say Saquon Barkley has been good this year. After being snubbed, I could see Barkley having possibly his best game of the year leaving his collegiate career on a good note. He has 41 rushing touchdowns during his career with Penn State, and 3,706 rushing yards. Also, he is a great multi-purpose back, getting north of 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns, receiving-wise. On the other side of the ball, Penn State has a fierce pass rush led by Shareef Miller (4.5 sacks) and Senior linebacker Jason Cabinda (3.5 Sacks). Penn State also has a formidable secondary led by Amani Oruwairye, who had a team-high four interceptions on the season. On the other sideline, Washington has a very solid team. Their offense, led by quarterback Jake Browning, threw for 18 touchdowns to only 5 interceptions, and is their main reason for success this year. Washington leans to their running back Myles Gaskin, who rushed for 1,282 yards and 19 touchdowns. Their defense is fairly spread out, and look to be a solid force against this Barkley-led Penn State offense. Washington’s strength of schedule is a bit spotty though, only playing two ranked opponents in #15 Stanford (a game in which they lost, 30-22) and #21 Washington State (where they won 41-14). I think the game will come down to which offense has the better day, and Barkley has my vote to take these Nittany Lions to a victory, by a score of 42-40, in what should be a great match-up.
