Horsefly Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 36 minutes ago, golfaddict1 said: Michigan basically maxes out the clock between plays and if chains move, you’ll see chunks of clock moving as well. They must be close to the top in the rankings in maxing drive clock possession time between plays and with a stingy D, that’s a nice combo to have. What’s the field like in Houston? Any idea? Fast track? Penix Jr and a quality OL worry me, for sure. I dug the swarm pass rush vs Milroe. Hoping for a repeat performance Monday. I’m not too sure about the field in Houston. I think Mi has a better DL than Texas and can put more pressure on Penix. When it’s all said n done, that’s pretty much all they have penix and the WRs. a few stops and this game is a wrap imo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopsNW Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Washington 34 Michigan 24 WA more physical than are being credited and D better than their ranking (playing Oregon twice would hurt anyone’s rankings) — nations top offensive line will slow Michigans front 7 and allow penix to make plays. he was injured in middle of year but is throwing again like early in the season I’ve heard Dillon Johnson is going to play but would feel better if I knew he was close to 100%. He’s a big-game beast when healthy and the guys behind him haven’t shown the same ability 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooverOutlaw Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I think this game will higher scoring than most. Michigan 34 Washington 31 I do think there will be some crazy stuff in this game. I also predict this will be Harbaugh's last game as he runs to the NFL to escape the NCAA. I think at some point Michigan forfeit/vacates game by the NCAA. Will this effect this season who knows. Once the NCAA starts a full blown investigation over the cheating more dirt will come out. The current investigation is over illegal recruiting during covid and lying by Harbaugh not the cheating. Michigan fans better enjoy Monday and the 2023 season it will rough sailing after this for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a prijected 1st round DL who got 2 sacks in Ewers, etc They are more than Penix and the WRs (and, btw, the TX DL was supposed to be one of best units in country as you dismiss them for their lack of impact in semi’s, maybe give UW’s #1 OL some Credit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGA stylistically would have been a nightmare for them IMO. Not saying they couldn't have won, but they would have had to play a much cleaner game on offense to get the dub. I think all 4 playoff teams are fortunate GA wasn’t in it. I think the 4 that made it were right choice and all very evenly matched and all would have legitimately been underdogs vs GA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UT had a 60/40 pass/run and it should have been the opposite. I don’t think MI will make that same mistake 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penix was scrambling and moving around a lot more than usual. The Huskies rush defense ranks 43rd in the country in a conference that's not run first.

Penix definitely moving around better — part of why I feel Huskies will win Agree that on the rushing stat (higher ranked than passing D, but at least passing partly explained by schedule). Just think MI will have fewer 15 play drives than UW has big plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 This might be the least talked about national championship game in the history of these forum/s> going back almost 20 years. Where's my main man huskydog (ooops, devildog) at?....... he has to have an expert take. Any bubbas, cousins, or rednecks out in Washington? 😧😧😭😭 What a blow hard.

I don't think that changes today. Michigan will be superior along the LOS on both sides and that's what will be the final factor in this game. Washington will need a +2 edge in turnovers to win. It's very hard to play two games against the opposition they're facing without turning the ball over(They had 0 offensive turnovers against Texas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Statistically speaking. Michigan has the #1 total defense in college football Texas had the #35 ranked defense for comparison. In other words > Texas wasn't as strong as everybody thought they were defensively. They had some holes and gaps in that defense. ...#35 isn't totally terrible, but it's not #1 either. LSU wins a National Championship with the #35 ranked defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're mixing up the rose bowl game of 2019 with the OSU that started Jones(3rd string QB) that destroyed Oregon.

Washington RB Dillon Johnson carried the ball 21 times vs Texas for 49 Yards> 2.3 average Washington's only hope is if Penix Jr throws the ball 50-60 times and hits 3 or 4 of them for TDs. Only problem with that is Michigan going to be bringing the heat. Wait for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
