Right. It makes them come off as clowns. At least Paul stopped with the silliness of the tainted title discussion, which didn't make sense when he first said it months back.

[@patrickhenry2845]

Jim Harbaugh won an NFC championship with the 49ers and went to the Superbowl and lost to his brother, who coached the Ravens. He lost one NFC championship to the Seattle Seahawks. After Michigan being dominated by Ohio State, he finally figured out how to defeat them. Ohio State feels they should never lose to Michigan. Until now. Ohio State is no longer the dominant force in the Big Ten Conference anymore. Next year, Harbaugh probably won't be coaching Michigan.

WA can upset Michigan IF Michigan cant get pressure with their DL or if they cant run the ball. I dont see how they wont, but thats the recipe. Michigan will run the ball, control clock, limit WA possessions and just wear out WA. Texas' big issue was they didnt have a great secondary, where Michigan's is really good. Penix likes to throw quick so Michigan DBs may play press just to give the DL a tick more time.

[@monetda-introverted-guru6376]

The beauty of WA offense is that Penix gets the ball out of his hands at a lightning pace. He doesn't get sacked because the tempo and how quickly guys get open. Can Michigans secondary contain there WR's because if so Michigan will beat them by 2 touchdowns hence no special teams blunders from Michigan. Penix loves throw it quick but will bomb you for a 50 yards if he gets 3 seconds.

[@harrycojones4273]

Agreed. The Huskies have a very average Defense. Just need to stop Penix a few times, control the game time of possession, limit turnovers, should win like when Michigan beat OSU with CJ Stroud.

[@Zach9799-]

@@monetda-introverted-guru6376 Michigan has recently played better receivers than this WA trio like Ohio state the past 3 years (besides this year just 2 not 3 greats WRs and a average qb) they will be ready. If Washington can't run the ball they are screwed because Michigan will sit back in coverage and their secondary is one of the best in the nation.

[@monetda-introverted-guru6376]

True but they have not played a team that has the tempo and accuracy of Penix all season. Don't get it twisted Washington has a top 3 receiving core hands down. Michigan will win this game in the trenches by not allowing Penix to sit pretty in the pocket.
