U of W first in. Who all you guys rooting for today? Bama fans here? Michigan looks legit. I haven’t watched any Georgia games this year but hoping for good...

Huskies defense can’t let up

garyt1957

rsvman2 agree, lots of open receivers he's simply missing. Never thought UW's defense could play so well.

Penix with an opportunity to shine

MidwayJ

rsvman2 Michigan's offense is giving him plenty of opportunities. Washington can load up to stop the run because Michigan is doing nothing with the passing game.

Michigan weakness, slow to adjust and get stuck in the "we're Michigan and we can run it up the middle all day".

MidwayJ

Ack8236 Yeah I thought Harbaugh outcoached Saban last week but he's been outcoached in this game after the 1st quarter.

Ack8236

MidwayJ I think Harbaugh gets outcoached a lot, but this team is strong enough to overcome it.

Washington has work to do now. They've had some missed opportunities. That last Michigan drive finally looked like the play calling vs. Alabama.

The fat lady is singing. Good on you Wolverines.

garyt1957 I just think they'll overpower Washington.

I didn't think they could. But they most certainly did. With some authority at that.

Penix stock just dropped several points.😉

He wasn't able to make a lot of the throws last night, but he did, at least, seem to make the right reads. Those blitzes that confused the Alabama QB and receivers, were mostly read by the Washington players. Execution wasn't there, but the Michigan defense was very disruptive. Michigan has a lot more speed in the defensive backfield than I expected. I knew they were very disciplined in executing zone defense, but their man-to-man coverage was also tight against both teams.

Good God… Penix is gonna get an NFL GM fired. After last night I wouldn’t take him in the first round. I judge guys on how they do against an NFL style defense… not the Texas shit defense.

Penix looked like Mac Jones. Overthrowing wide open receivers, throwing at their feet. Throwing off his back foot. He had that scared look in his eyes like Jones did.

No… f’ing…. way.

ode 🤣 Same thought just occured to me!!

Also appears he's injured again. Faking his side/ribs, but I think it is the shoulder. Happened early in the 4th.

I was really impressed with the Washington defense. I didn't think they had it in them. Pac 10 teams usually get exposed defensively against great teams and Big Ten teams (except OSU) usually get exposed in the speed dept. Neither happened today, imo.

MidwayJ

garyt1957 The Washington defense made a valiant effort to keep Michigan in check for most of the game after the first quarter, but the offense never got things going.

scotts33

MidwayJ but the offense never got things going.

The Michigan defense brutally attacked Penix Jr.. Poor guy at the end was ineffective. Reminded me of when Penix Jr. was at IU same kind of play as Indiana's offensive line could not stop B1G defenses.

BUT, The Huskies did win The Apple Cup! Final | Huskies 24, Cougars 21

Typhoon I feel the same. At best he’s a second round lottery ticket.

I tend to agree with Joel Klatt. No question Penix stock dropped, but probably only a few spots. Penix is more Pro ready than McCarthy.

Penix is asked to run a Pro style offense where he reads defenses, drops back and throws 25-35 times a game. McCarthy in contrast is asked only do that 5-10 times. Penix is a natural thrower and very accurate.

Plus Michigans defense is tough usually rushes only 4 and drops back in coverage. Tough for any QB. I have no idea where Penix will go in the draft. But to judge him on one game could be a mistake.

Nothing but a mere backup, and even then won't be in the biz long. I see nothing in that kid, other than running a smooth operation that someone else is telling him......when everything around him is going well😉. Nothing special there.

Sneakylong I have no idea where Penix will go in the draft.

I'm one that will be surprised if he goes round 1.

Par4QC

Sorry you feel that way. lol We shall see. A lot has to do with what team he goes to. Imagine if Brady had gone to Chicago. May never have heard of him. We’re all just speculating.

You still think Williams doesn’t go in the first round? Lol

ode

Par4QC round 1.

He reminds reminds me of Tua a little. Maybe it's because they are both lefties.....but when he's on he is on.....I just don't think he will last..... breathe on him and he gets hurt. In the right spot though, he could be really good. I mean look at Brock Purdy. He was in the running for MVP until Baltimore. I know it's an oxymoron, but give em some weapons and a decent line. He could be the best pure passer of the top QBs coming out.
