He really was. But unfortunately they cant get away with that vs Michigan. The pass rush is too strong, along with really good DB's. They're gonna have to prove that they know how to run the ball. Michigan already played a better version of this Washington team, with C.J Stroud and all his 5 star receivers. They've been preparing for this without even knowing.

Yep, back to back. With roughly the same rosters and coaching staff on both sides of the football. Not sure why so many Texans thought this was a sure win for them. And the last one was in Texas. This one, may have been next door, but win and rain are not a factor at the sugar bowl. Talk about a perfect stadium for a pass first team.

[@andydeceunynck1766]

Seattle football teams never win easily. The Huskies have been edging their opponents for most of the last couple month but they always wind up on top. The ending reminded me of the 2014 NFC Championship against the 49ers when Richard Sherman tipped an end-zone bound pass in the last minute. And who was the opposing coach that day 10 years ago? None other than Jim Harbaugh.

[@JSusa440]

This game was an instant classic. Actually, both CFP games were classics. Week after week, Penix just keeps impressing me with his pin point accuracy and touch he puts on his passes. Just a great player to watch and if I'm an NFL team in need of a franchise QB, I'm taking Penix in the draft as the first QB off the board (yes, even over Caleb Williams and Drake Maye). We should be in for a treat in the National Championship Game. Should be another classic and it wont disappoint like what we saw last year with Georgia/TCU.

[@silviobrolusconi2890]
