What to know about Washington
After being regulars in the Top 25 under former head coaches Steve Sarkisian and Chris Petersen for much of the past decade, the bottom fell out in 2021. The Huskies opened the season with a 13-7 loss to FCS-level Montana and then dropped a game at Michigan 31-10. They went 4-2 over their next six, but then lost the last four games of the season.
DeBoer will be tasked with turning around an offense that averaged just 21.5 points per game last year. Michael Penix Jr. won the starting quarterback job after transferring from Indiana. Penix threw for 4,197 yards, 29 touchdowns and 15 interceptions over his four-year career with the Hoosiers.
What to know about Kent State
The Golden Flashes were strong on offense last year, finishing 30th nationally in scoring. Quarterback Dustin Crum is gone, and it'll be up to Collin Schlee to keep that momentum rolling. He has a star running back to work with as 1,200-yard rusher Marquez Cooper returns.
Kent State finished the regular season on a 6-2 run. The Golden Flashes ultimately lost in the MAC Championship Game and then in their bowl game to Wyoming, so they'll be hungry for more postseason success this year.
