Two Way Too Early Thoughts on Michigan Game

Quick, short passes will back them off. I'm more worried about the coaches than I am the players.AOG said:Michigan will come out running the ball a lot, and probably score a half dozen TDs, try to control time of poss. THe question is if Penix et al can have enough time to put points up there.

I think after Washington wins this game, it might become apparent that Oregon was the 2nd best team in the country.AEB said:I cant stop thinking about this game. So excited. Listening to every pod, reading every article…especially those written by less technically gifted writers. I have two thoughts to share on our defense going into Monday.
First, people are conflating our UT defensive performance and strategy with that of our expected Michigan performance. While our defense is good not great, my view was our plan for UT was to contain the passing game… not to be beat by UT throwing. We made trade-offs and were willing to let Texas beat us running if they could. They couldn’t.
Which leads to the second thought: Michigan can’t beat us with their pass. Therefore, in first and second downs, our D could look more like a 5-2 with one extra big body like Tuitele/Bandes playing alongside Letuligasenoa and Ale with Trice and ZTF on the ends. We’ve got a decade of Harbaugh tape pushing our shit in, and this site specifically shat all over Kwats defensive strategy in those games - 2 DTs. Unlikely Morrell makes the same mistake.
I think the comp game is Oregon. Oregon team was really good. Nix was a dynamic QB but challenged in the vertical passing game. Oregon ran the ball well. In the CCG, we stoned them unexpectedly in the run game. I think this is similar with a less threatening offense particularly at WRs.
UW wins rather easily, say 34-17.

Correct. The irony is that Ohio State's receiver room has been notoriously soft the last several years. Smith-Njigba basically opted out his entire last year and Egbuka basically did the same this year. He had five fucking catches his last year. Egbuka fucking quit.Kingdome_Urinals said:The new talking point is that Michigan is "specifically built" to stop the Ohio St. offense, and by extension the UW offense.
Because Michigan has beaten Ohio St. in 2021, 2022, and 2023 they will beat UW.
I just think Penix is a better passer and competitor than Stroud and the Ohio St. guys.
When they fucking play Ohio State, it's also in near goddamn December in Ohio or mother fucking Michigan. Not exactly ideal conditions for dynamic downfield passing.
The 2021 OSU-Michigan game was a snowy mess. It was 30 degrees this year.
People are fucking retarded. The thing people have been missing all fucking year is Washington is fucking built for playing in a fucking dome. The goal was to just survive playing downfield football in a 40 degree rainstorm in Shitville, Oregon so they could get to the final 3 games in controlled, dome environments. No shit Penix and the WRs looked unstoppable last week. What the fuck did you expect?
Michigan was "built to stop" dynamic OSU's passing offense last year and still got fucking 50 put on them in a dome by a TCU team with a handicapped Ginger at QB and an alleged NFL receiver who would be taking Germie Bernard's spot on UW's roster.
Fuck off.

Off topic but holy fuckall, Texas must have the most fan podcasts of any team across all sports. There are multiple YouTube channels that have shows running all day. Not even the Yankees have something like that, that I'm aware of

Fuck off. -
More worried about DJ's status as his blitz blocking during the Oregon game to me is the Michigan comp. For their front 7.
If DJ is healthy and blocking the offense will Shred. If he's out or hobbled I'm going to worry. Tybo isn't there yet and no one else is close. -
No. If we win, Oregon is the one, true national champion.Sobchak_Security said:

Win or lose.

I had a glorious revelation while jotting down some numbers on my pizza box today. Sark and Lanning are 0-6 combined against UW as head coaches. Made me squeal like a pig.Kingdome_Urinals said:
I think Lanning is actually better than Sark. I don't think Sark has any authentic connection to his players.Houhusky said:
Unironically Oregon was better than UT. The only place UT was better at than Oregon was interior DL. Both their coaches are retarded spergs though.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

Oregon might actually be the second best team in the country
UT looked like a collection of athletes with no strong personalities or competitive edge.
Oregon is at least spirited IMO. Perhaps rooted in a little bit of substance? -
