1. Jake Browning

Browning has been the best player for Washington all season and because of his arm and decision making abilities, the Huskies are in the Peach Bowl.

Browning threw for 3,280 yards and 42 touchdowns, and only 7 interceptions on the season, proving himself to be one of college football’s best quarterbacks in the process. Without Browning, the Washington offense most likely would not have been as prolific as it has been. Browning provided the key in being able to get the ball to his playmakers as well as allow for the running game to be efficient as well. The Huskies can get it done either way on offense.

Heading into the Playoff’s, Browning was hot to end the season, in the final three games he threw 7 touchdowns to only 2 interceptions, both of which were against Arizona State. Browning is vital for Washington to beat Alabama and move forward towards winning a championship. He will be the best quarterback that Alabama has faced this season and he doesn’t turn the ball over, which will come in handy against the defensive prowess of Alabama.

Washington can win the National Championship if all of the pieces of the puzzle come together in the favor. Everyone on a team is needed in the pursuit of winning a championship, but Browning is without a doubt the most vital player for the Washington Huskies.
