Believe me, it took a lot of self-discipline to click away every time my muscle memory brought me back here . I was thinking of you headed into that 4th & 31... Of course I never expected it to go well for the Tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a good thing I was on a break, because I would’ve gotten banned for sure. No telling what I would’ve said in the moment. And now I’m reminded again that a big reason why that play had to happen was a bad snap by the center! Amazing that somebody didn’t order a code red on McLaughlin this season.

I really didn't think anyone could go undefeated in that league with how many good teams there were. Washington is 26th in the talent composite and might win the Natty. Insane.

Brian Fowler Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Michigan-Washington in the last game before the PAC dies would be bittersweet. Can we definitely not move the NCG to Pasadena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 On top of being extremely talented, Penix is a 6th-year player with 40+ starts. He’s just seen everything that college defense has to offer. Nothing bothers him. He always knows just what to do with whatever the defense is giving him. This is 2010 Cam Newton- or 2019 Joe Burrow-tier QB play. Take that for what you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Seriously, this reminds me of 2019 LSU so much. They can run the clock by passing the ball because they just WILL NOT miss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can run the clock by passing the ball because they just WILL NOT miss. I'm deeply interested in the complete contrast of styles next week, assuming Washington holds on here. One team will "block and tackle you to hell" while the other will just throw the ball all over the place with shocking pinpoint accuracy. One is barely over the 50% mark in the BCR, the other not even close to it. 14th vs 26th in the Talent Composite. Both undefeated, playing for it all. I just wish it was the Rose Bowl.

EVA Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Washington should’ve kept passing. They’ve totally bungled managing the clock on this punt, leaving Texas a LOT of time to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 And Washington giving Texas a chance. This game actually reminds me a ton of Michigan/TCU last year. See if the Horns can handle the last chance better than the Wolverines did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Nevermind, Ewers seems more determined to blow this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 They keep mentioning Washington being 119th in pass defense, but their yards allowed per pass play was a lot better than that. They just faced so many pass first teams and teams having to throw because they were trailing. And as I type that, huge pass play for Texas.

EVA Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I know the conventional wisdom in that situation was just to run three times and punt, but man…Penix and those guys were unstoppable tonight. Just keep throwing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Good shit! Michigan/Washington will be really interesting. A good final test for each team. Best QB that Michigan has faced (by far) vs. the best defense that Penix has faced (by far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I had no faith in Ewers or Sark at the beginning of the year. They overachieved. Can’t be too mad. But I’m guessing Arch is gonna start next year anyway? And Penix is amazing. I’m truly baffled as to how he could be poor NFL prospect. He looks CJ Stroud-like.
