Michigan Football's Toughest Task vs. Washington

For Michigan football to win the big game on Monday, they will need to slow down superstar Huskies QB Michael Penix Jr.

Penix Jr. plays behind a stout offensive line that has given up the fourth-least sacks in the NCAA and is thought to be one of the best units in the nation if not the best.

Michigan's offensive line meanwhile has played well for most of the season. The Wolverines' offensive line has given up the 28th least amount of sacks on the season according to official NCAA statistics from NCAA.com.

The Wolverines' defensive line sacked Alabama football QB Jalen Milroe five times in the first half during Monday's Rose Bowl.

Now, the battle for the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy begins, starting with practice preparations this week in the two teams' respective home states.
