Michigan Tuesday: A Too Early Look at Washington

How is everyone feeling this morning?  I know it was sort of hard to sleep after that incredible win.  I watched the Washington - Texas game and really don't remember much as my mind continued to race.  That feeling continued as I tried to sleep last night. 

Michigan is going to play Washington in Houston on Monday night.  A few thoughts:

-Is this a Big Ten National Championship?

-A game against a PAC 12 and Big 10 Championship should be played in the Rose Bowl!

-Jedd Fisch kept Washington to 10 points in the 2nd half and lost a close game.  Jimmy and Jedd discussion this week?  Count on it! 

-Michigan has played Penix a couple times a IU, with him getting a win in 2020.  Giles Jackson revenge game?

Washington 14-0

Best win: Oregon twice and Texas 

Worst loss: none, strangest game: win over Arizona State 15-7

Pass yards: 350 yards per (#1)

Run: 123 yards per (102nd )

Score: 37.6 per (11th)

Give up: 23.6 (50th) 

So its clear what Washington wants to do, they like to pass the ball and will give up a few points in the process.  Penix is an NFL QB playing on college team and will be a high pick in the next NFL draft in Detroit.  His only issue is he has a history of bad injuries. 

The best comp I can think of a team Michigan has played recently.  This is TCU with a better QB. 

Lastly: If anyone has extra National Championship tickets and want a reasonable price, please email me, I'm interested in a pair.  Thank you!! 

Per PFF College on Will Johnson last night:

〽️ 33 Coverage Snaps 〽️ 2 Times Targeted 〽️ Zero Catches Allowed

If Michigan had made the extra point after their 2nd touchdown, Alabama would have been down by 1 starting their last series in regulation. They would not have punted and would have gone for it on 4th and 3.

And being down by 1, do they play with more desperation trying to get in field goal range?

Interesting thought on how that missed extra point may have actually helped Michigan!

I was up pretty late myself watching the highlights. I watched a few more this morning. Paul Finebaum walked back all his comments from the season, sheepishly. Classic ...

I had a friend call me last night and tell me that the center for Alabama ain't going to be there next year. Saban's probably already pulled his scholarship.

szanreno,

I believe he's a senior anyway. I heard that the fanbase is really on him, making threats. I guess he's been doxed. Some fans just take it too far.

Not gonna kid you, if we win the Natti I'm probably going to cry like a little girl at a Taylor Swift concert!
