UW was 2 plays away from possibly winning a national title

Just like against Arizona State, Michigan got pressure and sped Penix up. Grubb still tried to dial up home run shots even though Penix didn’t have time to let that sort of play develop. The one drive where our offense looked competent was the drive right before half where we ran our two minute offense and dinked and dunked our way down the field. We should have been doing that all game long but Grubb is too in love with the big play to win ugly like that on offense. Grubb lost us that game.

These are good points. I would say the first drive worked too and Penix just missed Odunze open for a TD. Throw in the drive when he missed Odunze for the TD or huge gain on fourth down. It's part of why I'm not on the whole needed a perfect game narrative. The plays were there. Penix just didn't execute.

Grubb didn't lose the game. There were plays to be made but UW sucked that night and Michigan played smart.
Harbaugh outcoached DeBoner, whose mind was in Tuscaloosa.

I wouldn't say Grubb lost the game but it's still accurate to say that the game plan didn't give UW a chance. It could have easily gone differently if they had tried to dink and dunk their way down the field, especially early.
Having more than one competent running back might have made a big difference too.

Michigan ran for 300 fucking yards. They scored more points in 1 quarter, TWICE, than UW did the entire game.

Bump after three first rounders and a second in the top 47 picks. Certain bust McCarthy at 10 is it for Michigan so far, and below both Penix and Odunze. Huskies laid an egg.
