Wolverines-Husky matchup history
The University of Washington and the University of Michigan have a competitive history on the football field that spans decades. Their football teams have faced off 14 times, with Michigan leading the series with nine wins to Washington's five. They've played each other in four Rose Bowl games where they are evenly split with two victories each.
Their matchups began in the 1950s, with Michigan securing shutout wins in both 1953 and 1954. After a challenging start with four consecutive losses against Michigan, Washington rallied over the years, especially under the direction of coach Don James. In the 1978 Rose Bowl, Washington, secured an upset victory against Michigan.
A notable meeting took place at the 1992 Rose Bowl, where Washington triumphed over Michigan to cap an undefeated season and claim a share of the national title. However, Michigan avenged this loss the following year. The teams clashed again in the early 2000s, with both games decided in dramatic fashion: Washington's 2001 win featured pivotal plays by Omare Lowe, and Michigan's 2002 victory was aided by a controversial penalty against Washington.
Despite plans to play in 2020 and 2021, the game was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, and in 2021 Michigan overpowered Washington with a solid running game. The teams' most recent clash at the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship saw Michigan emerge as the victor, mainly due to the strong running performances from Donovan Edwards and Blake Corum, securing a 34-13 win and overcoming Washington's brief second-half challenge.
