In a departure from the norm, the College Football Playoff championship game in Houston won’t feature any SEC teams, a rarity since 2005. No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Washington, both current and future Big Ten members, will face off, marking the fourth instance of two undefeated teams in playoff history. But who’s leading the charge in Washington?
The Huskies secured a pivotal 36-33 victory against Oregon, propelling them into the national championship conversation. Much credit for this achievement goes to 49-year-old Kalen DeBoer, who boasts an impressive career record of 104-11 and three NAIA national titles at Sioux Falls. But he is not the only DeBoer family member drawing attention at Washington.
