    Grubb says DJ is expected to play. We're going to win. Possibly by 2-3 scores.

    Michigan blitzed almost every down against Alabama and their QB couldn't handle it. Penix will.

    I wish I had the confidence that you all do.

    I’m not confident, definitely less confident than Texas. Harbaugh is better than Sark and Michigan also thinks they are a team of destiny with their self inflicted scandals. They are confident and tuff.

    The good news is Harbaugh has never won the last game. He had what, 4 downs from the 10 yard line to win a Super Bowl and didn’t.

    Deboner has won the last game. 3 times.

    I am supremely confident.

    Michigan has not played a "good" offense all year. Bama and Ohio State are rated in the 40s.

    UW had to play Oregon x2, Texas, Arizona, USC...hell even WSU has a solid offense.
    OSU was good when we? played them and it was windy and raining which played right into the Beavers' hands.

    Different game plan, you don't really have to worry about Michigan beating you over the top. Can sell out to stop the run.

    Load the box and let it rip.

    If ASU can do it...

    Alabama was a dumpy mess of a team that trailed this year in the 2nd half of 7(!) of its 14 games. It also had a tight end playing quarterback. Michigan could have easily lost to that dumpy Bama team even with Bama’s center having the yips.

    Michigan’s other marquee win dropped the stinker of the bowl season against Missouri.

    Washington is better but this game will come down to whether Penix can be accurate with the football. It’s not a foregone conclusion but I like our odds.

    To be fair, Alabama came together as the season progressed. They were playing very well at the end of the season. They beat an excellent Georgia team and almost beat an excellent Michigan team. Also, due to injury, opt-outs and portal entries, tOSU that played Mizzou was not the same as tOSU that played Michigan. tOSU that played Michigan would likely have smoked Mizzou. Kirby Smart was right to question the bowl system after Georgia's embarrassingly bad blowout win over FSU in the face of injuries, opt-outs and portal entries that gutted FSU.

    IMO Michigan will be the best team Washington has faced in years. Perhaps the best since Alabama in 2016. I agree with your take that matchups matter a lot. The key matchup IMO is their? D-line vs our? O-line. If we? win that battle, we? will control the pace of the game to our? advantage.
    UW handled the shit out of Texas DLine. Smacked those fat bitches across the face for 3 hours. Michigan is not at their level.

    Fuck Michigan. They are not near Alabama's 2016 level. Corum, McCarthy, and Wilson are excellent college players but are B+ talent. Texas cooked UW with speed and Michigan has less of that.

    They will be methodical, however. And UW sucks against the run.

    People underrate how dominant UW is on the offensive side. Crazy talent.

    Michigan has a much better pass rush than Texas, they're a better team than Texas. And I agree they're not Alabama 2016, just likely the best team the Huskies have faced since Alabama 2016. They're beatable, for sure, but make no mistake, this will be the biggest challenge of the year for the Huskies. The same can be said of Michigan though. They haven't faced an O-line, quarterback or wide receiving corps like UW's.
    Oregon is better than Michigan
    Just my opinion, but I don't think they are, not this year.
    Nix is a lot more versatile than McCarthy
    True, but not really any more of a threat. Michigan is better on both lines, has a better running back, and a better defense in general. Beating them will be a bigger deal than beating Oregon, for a number of reasons.
    No way the Michigan back is better than either of the 2 headed Oregon monsters.

    Easy $. UW $line and plus the 4. Michigan doesn't score 30, UW does.

    Say 35-21.

    But something dumb will happen and UW wins 35-34. I might finally be a happy fan if your prediction actually happens.
