So yeah, I've never written a Best & Worst (a) this late into the season, and (b) after a national title. Because of course this game is on Monday so I'm running on about 6 hours of sleep and a full day of work in the bag, so if this comes off as particularly vibes-y you'll know the reason. I also lost about 2 pages of this because my computer restarted, and I'm not going to try to recreate it. Also, winning a national title is cool and fun and I'd totally suggest other fanbases experience it if they can. A+ no notes.

Previously: Washington Offense After profiling the fearsome Washington offense, we now pivot to the much less glamorous defense. Ranked 44th in SP+, Washington's defense has spent a lot of the year doing just enough to give them a win in each and every game. They have a couple stars and also some major worry spots. What should we make of them? Let's take a look: The Film: Going with Texas for the charting yet again, but drawing upon Oregon, USC, and other games as additional tape to factor in in our evaluations. Personnel: Click for big. [both FFFF charts available in PDF format for the laminators here] Washington mostly plays a standard 4-2-5 in terms of personnel. Their EDGE who rarely comes off the field is star Bralen Trice, the Dangerman of this piece. The 6'4", 274 lb. rusher is more power than speed, but he's by far their best player at getting organic pressure on the QB, while being not a particularly spectacular run defender in my view.
