NC- Michigan vs Washington

[Coach34]

Physicality vs Finesse

Gimme Michigan for the win. Texas wouldn?t keep RTGDF and lost. Michigan won?t make the same mistake

“Tuff guys” win again

[parabrave]

Defense wins championships, So Harbaugh goes out a winner. BTW is DJ playing??

[msugolf]

Nope. Pennix gets rid of the ball too fast. It will neutralize Michigans front seven. And they have not seen an offense like this all year. Michigan wont be able to keep up

[ZedFedder]

Are we certain Harbaugh is leaving?

[KB21]

Nope. Pennix gets rid of the ball too fast. It will neutralize Michigans front seven. And they have not seen an offense like this all year. Michigan wont be able to keep up

This. Elite passing is what wins championships.

[chef dixon]

Washington is not as finesse as people assume just because they pass the ball well. Maybe Michigan controls the pace, but I don't think there's anyone on Michigan that can hold Odunze's jock if Penix gets any time at all

[Saltydog]

I hate Harbaugh and I hope Washington wins but I don't see it. Michigan is just too physical at the point of attack.

[Gutter Cobreh]

Pennix can sling it, but just like Milroe found out - he won't have much time.

Michigan controls the line of scrimmage and rolls tonight.

Defense wins championships. It always has and always will.

Texas averaged 6.4 per carry and wouldnt stick with it. Thats why they lost. Michigan wont make that mistake

[R2Dawg]

Ha, my coments have nothing to do with a preference unless you like winning but history says the team that has best LOS play wins championships 9 times out of 10. Could a great O win every once in a while, yeah but not what the odds and history says.

Your view is letting your narrative get in the way of facts. Remind me again how many times a top O (OU for example) and how many NC were won?

[R2Dawg]

Yep

[DownwardDawg]

Don't be so sure. I've seen the great Saban make that same mistake many times. It's mind boggling.

[Activated Alpha]

As the resident Michigan fan, I will say that I have watched every game this season. They are very physical in the trenches with our DL being the best of the bunch. Backside might be questionable, but they have done enough. I'm not going to say anything about tonight because Washington is a good team. It will be tough, but I'm hoping Michigan wins.

And MICH has a sneaky RB that can hide behind them Linemen then make a long gainer. He reminds me of McCaffrey.

[RocketDawg]

Could be some lousy weather for the game tonight.

Hi Coach34; I would like to have you look at the complete schedules and results for Michigan and Washington. I personally believe that Washington played a profoundly tougher schedule than Michigan. I guess most could be considered tough when they schedule teams that are weak? Your thoughts?

[Pancho]

all have been urged to enter the facility as early as possible.

Hahaha. There is a difference in tuff and tough. If you think I am pro finesse and anti physical you are as sunk as the yacht club

[MoreCowbell]

I thought NRG was a dome?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Every metric, stat, etc. tell me that Michigan wins this game. But there is just something about this Washington team. The last 6 games have all been one score games. Washington is 6-0. I feel like they are going to make it 7-0 tonight. Give me the Huskies and Penix. Another good game tonight could elevate him into the number 1 pick conversation.

[DesotoDog1967]

Just saw on Twitter Will Rogers is on the Huskie sideline throwing footballs

[Lord McBuckethead]

Michigan looking good early.

[msstate7]

Well that was easy

[msstate7]

Washington is an offensive team. Why didn't they take the ball? They shoulda took a shot at getting up 7-0.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I sure am glad we are worried about player safety. Washington going to the Midwest weeks in a row must be great for your health

[Saltydog]

Michigan looking good early.

Michigan made that look easy. Gonna be hard for UW to neutralize their physicality on both sides of the l.o.s.

[msstate7]

That's a huge broken tackle

[RocketDawg]

I have Dish, which means that the signal is lost in any rain heavier than light. And heavier rain is about to move in.

Just checked ESPN streaming using Roku, and they have several options for the game but none of them is the "traditional" broadcast. Might have to put up with one of the alternates when the rain comes in.

[RocketDawg]

Just saw on Twitter Will Rogers is on the Huskie sideline throwing footballs

Is he eligible to play, having just transferred?

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Looking like Washington is last years TCU

[Coach34]

RTGDF

[RocketDawg]

This game may be as lopsided as the TCU game a year or two ago.

[msstate7]

Hey Washington, you're gonna love big10 football with your porous run D

[KOdawg1]

Michigan is just tougher and meaner

[KOdawg1]

Michigan vs. Georgia would be the two best teams in CFB.

Yes, I know Bama beat UGA, but I truly believe if those two play 10 times, UGA beats Bama 7 times out of 10.

[Coach34]

Coach- we are watching what I expected to happen. I lost my mind last week when Sark kept throwing the ball. Pac-12 D's are soft as baby shit.

With Rogers at QB and their soft D- I'll be betting the under on their win total for 2024

[Homedawg]

If this continues doubt you see kb or bsd post in this thread.... I hope they do oost. Bc that means wash make a come back and I don't want a terrible game. But it's leaning that way

[Cowbell]

I'm so Sicking of listening to Herbstriet in these playoff games. We got to get some new faces in the booth.

Seriously? Fowler and Herbie are the Sumrall/Madden of college football. They do a great job.

You want Rod Gilmore?? I like herbie. College annnouncing isn't very strong

Certainly no ron franklins

[Coach34]

Certainly no ron franklins

Franklin and Gottfried were really good also

[parabrave]

Certainly no ron franklins

Check out Mcafee on the duece. And the best team is sitting at home in Athens.

[Mjoelner34]

I bet a duo of Beth Mowins/Chris Collingsworth would change your mind.

[Mjoelner34]

The best! (only behind Keith Jackson)

[msstate7]

This is washinton's chance. Good stop

[Homedawg]

I want a score. Need a game

[maroonmania]

Is Dillon the only decent RB Washington has? He is almost a liability at this point with the way he is hobbling around.

[Catfish]

The best! (only behind Keith Jackson)

Whoa Nelly!

[LC Dawg]

Washington doesn't have any quit in them.

[Cowbell]

Not to everyone

[Turfdawg67]

Good. I'm glad they and Bama are home.

[chef dixon]

Don't let Penix get loose...

[DownwardDawg]

I just don't understand everyone saying this. I watched Bama beat their ass to decide the best team in the SEC. Georgia was well prepared and up for that game. They got beat by the better team.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We are Washington?s AA team

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Penix channeling his inner Will Rogers

[BuckyIsAB****]

Penix channeling his inner Will Rogers

Yeah his right guard got planted on him. Pretty accurate

[chef dixon]

Funny how Michigan has no confidence in McCarthy. He's been carried all year

[Turfdawg67]

If Penix was on, UW would be ahead. Definitely no TCU game, thank goodness.

[Turfdawg67]

Another blown opportunity. They are stopping themselves at this point.

[BeardoMSU]

Ouch

[Bdawg]

Penix with a bad game. Misreads galore and bad penalties. Michigan seems to have his clock sped up some but he?s not playing very well

[msstate7]

Washington passing yds - 246
Michigan running yards - 304

Washington with 13 pts on 287 total yards so far. Being physical still wins

[Cowbell]

He has had zero time to do anything, much less progress through reads. This oline is abysmal

[msstate7]

They won the award for best oline in country. Michigan D just better

[Bdawg]

Not good from the line but he’s made some poor throws and reads.

[msstate7]

Some of his bad throws are from him folding up in his windup

[Bdawg]

Getting pressure with 4 and not having to blitz can be a game changer

[Turfdawg67]

Penix overthrew 3 potential TDs. Game should've been closer when UW basically shut UM down in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

It was still a game until that INT. Better than watching 65-7 which is what it looked like it was gonna be.

[msstate7]

Washington gives programs like us hope though. They just have some great talent at key spots when bama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio st have great talent everywhere

[Activated Alpha]

Boom baby!!!!

[Homedawg]

Where kb go?? Crickets. Neanderthal whipped ass tonight

[dawgday166]

LOL ... you funny. 2018 was our shot. And we shot our wad there.

Not much hope for MSU especially now with conference expansion but Bama and UGA ain't going anywhere regardless. We can't load up enough on both lines to beat them. And we damn sure ain't gonna run the ball down their throats. And then there's TN & Mizzou (who I think has a shot as a non-blueblood school ... great situation there with Drinkwitz, their NIL, and their recruiting footprint). And now SEC adds Ok & TX (and Sark is a good coach).

I like UDub's coach tho. We'll see what he can do in the Big 10 now.

[Activated Alpha]

Will Rodgers is going to get the same treatment against some of the Big 10 defenses as he did against the SEC. Also, KB doesn't want to come out of hiding because we got more rushing yards than his precious Washington AR team did total yards

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Ole Miss has a really good chance next season to play for a National Championship. All it takes is boosters, administrators and coaches to be all in and focussed on winning. We dont have that now, they do.

Playoffs sure, but I'm having a hard time seeing them passing Georgia, Bama, Ohio state with Howard, and Texas.

[basedog]

Penix did have a bad game, but I'm no pro scout and watching him he last night makes me think he isn't a Pro QB. Very good college QB but he panics in the pocket under pressure. Washington had a chance, but Michigan is the best team in the Ncaa.

He was throwing everything side-armed last night. Sometimes, he had to because of the rush. Other times, he didn't need to, but still did. I didn't see him doing that the other 3 times I watched him play. Or at least I didn't notice it.

Like I said, very good college player, but the competition showed a different guy standing in the pocket, he looked nervous and somewhat unsure.
