That’s a pretty big group, and while most of us are stuck at home watching the College Football Playoff Championship on TV, the stories told in this segment will be amazing for any fan.

Despite a strong first quarter from the Wolverines and two touchdowns from Donovan Edwards, the Washington Football Team entered halftime trailing 17-10. Early in the second half, a scary interception by Michael Penix Jr. led to a field goal, extending Michigan’s lead to 20-10.

After the miss, Penix limped off the court, walking cautiously.

Penix did come back on the next possession, but it was a tough drive for Washington. The team has used less than 100 percent of Dillon Johnson at running back.

Penix is ​​a Heisman Trophy finalist and the most successful driver of the Washington Football Team’s push toward the College Football Playoff this season.

Against Michigan, he threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jalen McMillan in the final seconds of the first half. But Penix missed a potential touchdown to Roman Odunze earlier in the game and then was intercepted at the start of the second half.

As of this writing, there are just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the College Football Playoff National Championship, and Jordan, Jeter and company are watching as Michigan leads Washington 27-13.
