The Washington completes the season with 456 points and 60 total touchdowns and remains undefeated all through the 13 games. Isaiah Thomas tweeted, “Say who? Say what??? Say who say dawgs ain’t bad MFs!!!!!!” As Oregon fell, QB Bo Nix’s hopes of winning the Heisman Trophy vanished while Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. rose as a top contender finishing the last game with 319 yards and one touchdown.

Isaiah Thomas is transparent when it comes to supporting his former alum to go to the extent of calling Oregon “Weak a** ducks!!!!!!” following Washington’s victory. Before he was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 2011, Thomas played for the Washington Huskies basketball as a point guard from 2008-11. So, the fact that the Huskies are bringing home the championship calls for a no lesser celebration.

For the Washington Huskies, winning the Pac-12 Championship game isn’t the only excitement that is going on. After the last win, they are likely to make an appearance at the College Football Playoffs. And would Michael Penix Jr. bring home the coveted Heisman Trophy status to Washington? Keep watching.
