Washington football fans have a lot to look forward to in 2023.

Last season was a transformative season for Washington football. They operated under a new quarterback, a new head coach and soared to an 11-2 season and an Alamo Bowl victory.

This year is looking to be an even better season for the Washington Huskies. Here are three reasons why fans should be excited.

Michael Penix Jr return

The first thing to look forward to in 2023 is the return of Michael Penix Jr. The talented quarterback surprised many by deciding to delay his NFL ambitions and return for another season with the Huskies.

After an outstanding year that showcased his skills, Penix Jr felt he had unfinished business in Washington and is determined to lead his team to victory. His presence brings hope for a successful campaign, with aspirations of winning the Pac-12 and even contending for the College Football Playoff National Championship.

WR duo

The special wide receiver duo in Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan has been steadily growing for years. The duo is regarded as one of the best in college football, along with Ohio State and Texas.

Their incredible talent and playmaking abilities give the Huskies a dynamic offensive threat. With their speed, agility, and precise route-running, Odunze and McMillan are poised to leave opposing defenses struggling to contain them, creating exciting opportunities for big plays.

Potential CFB playoff run

The team’s collective talent and cohesion make them a force to be reckoned with in the Pac-12 conference and beyond. With Penix Jr’s leadership and the explosive playmaking ability of the wide receiver duo, Washington has a legitimate chance to secure a spot in the playoffs and compete for the national championship.

The anticipation and belief in the team’s capabilities creates an electrifying atmosphere for Washington football fans, making the 2023 season one to eagerly await.
