Corum came into that game tied with Anthony Thomas for Michigan’s all time touchdown leader with 55 career rushing touchdowns. Then, with the game on the line, the kid jump cuts at the line of scrimmage and beast-modes his way 17 yards for the go ahead score. He got his 56th record breaking touchdown in the college football playoff, at the Rose Bowl, to beat Alabama. He had a 31 yard touchdown to seal the Penn State game, a 22 yard touchdown to seal the OSU game, and a 17 yard touchdown to seal the Bama game. His avg YPC is down this year and his shiftiness looked a bit suspect at times coming off that injury, but he showed up when it mattered most in the biggest games. Legend.

As a Longhorn fan for over 60 years, I was concerned that Penix and his arsenal of receivers would do exactly what they did to our secondary, but I did not expect Washington's offensive line to handle Sweat, Murphy and crew so well. We didn't get him on the ground once. So, congrats all the way around to Washington on the win. Superb performance. In my opinion, Sark ignored the formula for winning which was to lean heavily into the run game because as good as Washington is on offense, their real weakness is run defense. Harbaugh has already shown in the Penn State game if he has to run to win, that's what he'll do, and I think that's what he will do against Washington. Michigan also has a much better secondary than my Horns, sez me. I look for Michigan to try to control clock with the run game and I do think the Michigan defense will be able to pressure Penix, but I predict Penix and those receivers will perform. I don't think it's possible to predict the winner of the Michigan vs Washington game because these teams are just that good.

Even stuff I heard on ESPN made it 100% clear that a ton of people have yet to watch Washington play. Some of their NFL draft guys were saying "I don't think I've seen a QB be that precise in a game at the college level before" and it's like DUDE... He does that every week!

[@ransom8024]

Michigan aint no stranger to Penix after they lost to him in 2020 38-21. Plenty film out there and Michigans defense is way better compared to then. Keep in Mind Texas amassed 318 Passing and 180 Rushing but lost 2 fumbles while Washington Passed for 430 and Rushed for 102 with 1 Fumble. Gotta keep a clean slate in the National Championship game. Going to be a Great game. 🎉

He's also better too. Unlike Bama's QB, he can throw the ball and has the #1 receiver in the country.

I have so thoroughly enjoyed your analysis this year, Joel Klatt. You really know how to explain with a depth that has made this year's college football season to be most interesting. Thanks for your input. It's really enjoyable to hear.

Alabama and Texas looked like the inferior teams and both needed mistakes just to stay alive and make the scores look good.

[@Rynos30]

Exactly, just because the scores are close doesn't mean the games are great.

Dumbest take of today … Michigan needs to learn catch punts

[@19MarkDavid]

Right, don't understand Joel's caption 'Michigan stuns Alabama' Michigan was the better team and could have easily been a 3 score win. Alabama was good but not an elite team this year. Caption should have read ' Michigan's mistakes allow Alabama to Stay in Game'

[@paulbyrne2929]

Alabama didn't need no help. The mistake Alabama had in the 4th in the fumble hurt them from taking the wind out of Michigan in a 14 point diffential in the 4th quarter.

[@AlphaDwg]

they also made their own mistakes. Texas turned it over and Alabama had Michigan on the run in the second half and fumbled the snap.

[@richh650]

As an east coaster and understanding that many on the east coast don't watch much Washinton FB, I must say when I have seen Penix play, he has blown my mind each time. I sooo wish the Carolina Panthers would have waited a year to run for a college QB, as he appears to be a catch for the next level. BTW, I believe some of the mistakes we see in bowl games are caused by the VERY long down period to even get to bowl season. I would like to see college football come up with a plan to play bowl games earlier, so they are not played so very long after the regular season ends.

I fell in love with college football back in 1972 when my dad took me to the USC vs. Notre Dame game at the Coliseum. It was awesome, we parked on campus, followed the USC band from campus, all the way to the stadium, then watched a great game. Needless to say, I was hooked! I've been lucky enough to go to the Rose Bowl game 9 times, and only see one loss. The Arroyo Seco, and Rose Bowl have a mystique that can't be matched, they are the Mecca of College Football.

Longhorn fan in mourning still. I dont really know how we got to the situation of having a shot to win it at the end there, always felt like we were chasing the game and if it werent for a couple untimely fumbles we probably would have won. Got to hand it to Washington they played an almost flawless game on offense and their D made plays when it mattered. We always looked a step off them both sides of the ball.

I fell in love with college football back in the Jim Owens days, in the 1950's. Those teams were much like the Huskies of these days. They were called the Hairbreath Huskies because of there numerous close wins They won several Rose Bowls, in compete surprise to the national media., including a great win under Don James against Michigan, that had a great team that year, for the National Title. I don't think that the Huskies are at all intimidated by being the under dog, it is just a great motivation for them. They have been the underdog, while being undefeated several times this year, and won every time. Michigan made a number of muffs against Alabama. If they play that kind of game against the Huskies, it will be a very long afternoon for them.
