I’m not going to blame Penix, but he had all the opportunities tonight to ball, and he didn’t. Wide open receivers all over the field.
He had a really shitty game. But the defense put him in a bad position to begin with.
UW outcoached, outplayed. Michigan the better team.
I don't know how you could say that. Defense gave him enough chance to tie the game or even ahead. He just couldn't make the play.
Did you see those two long TD runs in the first quarter. I did. They were down two TDs before they could catch their breath.
Ok, so only the first quarter mattered I guess. We might as well not play after they scored two touchdowns early on.
Did you even read what I said? Are you saying the defense didn’t put him in a bad position to begin with? I agree he had a shitty game but the D didn’t help matters in the first quarter.
Game was over in the second quarter. Start of the third only confirmed it. DeBoer cost himself some money tonight (hopefully). Looking forward to what he can do without a generational talent at QB. Maybe out Grubb’s head on straight.
Incredibly disappointing and uncharacteristic performance to end the season. And also entirely expectable if you’ve been paying attention.
Michigan was visibly the best team this year, except for possibly Georgia.
Our only chance at winning the championship was probably for Alabama to beat Michigan. Alabama had all sorts of bad games this year and we might have been able to beat them. But Michigan didn’t have any bad games this year except for the Alabama game, and Michigan wasn’t going to play that badly two games in a row.
They played some clunkers in the final 4 games.
I guess I forgot about the Maryland game, but Harbaugh wasn’t coaching that game and it probably wouldn’t have been competitive with him coaching. You can’t really call the Penn State and Ohio State games bad games due to the quality of competition, and I don’t think either game went that much down to the wire. The Alabama game was terrible as it actually played out, even though winning a close game over Alabama in theory shouldn’t be considered a bad game.
Alabama had clunkers vs opponents like 4-8 Arkansas, 7-6 Texas A&M, 6-7 Auburn and 7-6 AAC team South Florida, and they lost by 10 points to Texas, who UW beat. Alabama also honestly looked like a #20 team vs Michigan even when Alabama was leading by 7 points in the game. They would have been an easier opponent than Michigan.
Losing to a good team is one thing but the elite offence just getting embarrassed is tough to take. Sloppy and tight. Oline played terrible and that affected everyone else

Our defense kept us in it and our offense failed to do anything. I out this in Grubb, Penix, Odunze, Polk, Nixon
Can't survive a fucking bad call in that situation.
That being said, what a sorry performance by the offense, refs didn't force all the overthrows/drops

If you told me Michigan had 20 at the start of the 4th I would take that.
Offensive ineptitude fucked it.
