Talked this morning with my first roommate Rikki from Flint, Michigan

We were roommates the last time UW won the national championship.
He went into that '92 Rose Bowl truly believing that Michigan was going to dominate the Huskies. He was shocked when Washington overpowered Michigan.
We laughed at the irony that here we are again, Washington vs. Michigan with the natty on the line.
I asked him to put aside all the posturing and tell me what he really thinks of Monday's game.
He said UW will need to score on every possession, they can't even afford one three-and-out.
He said Harbaugh is going to pound the football, slow the game down, and keep the UW offense off the field. He feels very confident because "Washington's run defense is HORRIBLE."
He predicted Michigan 31, Washington 20.

And Michigan ain't playing Iowa
UM RB Corum isn't better than many of the RBs UW has faced this year... he has worse stats (tot and per carry) than DJ
UM leading WR Roman Wilson is no Romaine Odunzoe and he would be lucky to not be behind Germ-Bern on the UW depth chart.
The only scary thing about the UM offense is that if UW doesn't commit to stopping the run they will just run forever. If WE? had Kwiatkowski I would be worried about UW insisting on lining up in some soft retard defense and watching them run all game.
Oregon > UT > Michigan
But coaching matters so Michigan probably wont beat themselves unless they seppuku themselves on special teams again or get behind early and start trying to throw the ball, and even then they might just keep running.
They won't.
We will take and maintain 10 or 14 point lead until the end.
Just put a team away for once.
But yeah, he lost a championship game to Carroll college 55-0
Carroll college (Helena Montana) KDB credits for teaching him what it takes to win the big game.
We owe the montanans everything. Molding KDB and helping get Jimmy fired.
I do fear the play action shots over the top that will be there for the taking if Michigan can hit them.
I have a hard time seeing Michigan shutting UW’s offense down enough to win.
As with most games UW has played the last half of the season, it’s all about how many scoreless drives the opponent has. It doesn’t take many for UW to win.
The old stereotypes don’t apply this time.
