    As a Michigan fan I went into this game feeling more confident than I did against Ohio State, Penn State or Alabama. Washington was winning all these one score games against teams that don’t play good Big Ten type defense.

    I wanted UW to win, but man, Michigan just shut them down.
    It’s no secret Jim asked John for defensive help and coordinators (Joel Klatt has has the specific names and such), and it showed.
    The only way I felt UW was gonna win is if they they got up 14-17 points and forced UM to play catch up.
    If those two teams replay that game 10 times in a simulation, I’m comfortable saying UM wins 7 of them.

    Coming into the game, Washington had a bad Run Defense and they got exposed even worse via them not having ANY speed at all by the 2nd and 3rd level defenders - you had absolutely no one even come close to catching D. Edwards on those two long runs and one long one by B. Corum. Once the RBs beat the 1st level defenders, they were gone and no one else was close to catching them.

Sherrone is good at diagramming plays on the opening drives of games but the middle portions of games is where he lacks. It's no coincidence that mich goes through a funk in 2nd - early 3rd qtrs

  • @rpryce2140

    I felt really good about Michigan's chances before both of the CFP games. Both Alabama and Washington had stellar quarterbacks, and a lot of commentators were forecasting that they would (or at least could) pick Michigan apart. But they were forgetting that, since the Covid year, Michigan was specifically built to deal with a stellar quarterback, i.e. CJ Stroud at OSU. Given the way they handled him, and the OSU team as a whole, I figured they would be fine against both Bama and Wash.
    Nice to be right!

    The Pac12 simply did not prepare Washington to play a team like Michigan. A conference where defense is an afterthought and teams load up on offensive skill position players and every game is a shootout. Penix missed wide open throws in this game which would have been huge because he was rattled by the pressure Michigan was bringing all game. This was simply a bad matchup for Washington.

    I was impressed with Washington, and, tbh, with a couple of breaks, they might have stolen this one. If Penix hits one of those open misses and they tie the score, then the game might have become v dicey for Michigan. It might have felt a bit like a March Madness upset. Michigan looks like the overall better team. But Washington hung around for a long time.
