The popular media meme is Washington's Michael Penix against the Michigan defense. The REAL question is the Washington defense against the Michigan offense. Michigan has played the #2, #3, and #4 defenses and won. The Washington defense is ranked #54...let's see how Washington stops a really good running game...
check out Oregon's defense it was ranked number five in the country. We didn’t allow them 50 yards rushing in either game and we rushed for over 100 yards in both those games and no sacks on our QB
@@chetbennett5320like I commented, Oregon isn’t in the top 20. Washington hasn’t faced a defense as good as Michigan. Michigan hasn’t faced an offense as good as Washington.. this year. Like everyone is saying, Michigan is built to beat Ohio state’s great WR room, which this team full of seniors did the past 3 years, and 21-22 Ohio state was arguably better than Washington this year
Destined? They got wiped out against Georgia, and then TCU. TCU knew that Michigan was cheating, and changed their signals. The Huskies are coming out on top.
I just don't know how Washington will stop the Michigan run game. Plus Michigan's defense is elite. On the other hand Penix and his receivers are top shelf. I'll take Mich +3 but not +4.5! I'll take the under as well
that’s the same thing that was said about washington and texas run game. if michigan gets behind then they won’t be able to run so much i think depends on game plan we’ll see
Under 56.5 pts, clock management all night. I’ve watched the huskies run defense fail against a lot of questionable teams, but they didn’t stick with the run (that’s PAC-12). Penix will likely be watching most of this game, as B1G teams sniff out bad run defenses and patiently capitalize on it.
discovery in the "michigan vs. the world" case is going to be extremely damning for pete thamel. he should just come clean and apologize for what he tried (and failed) to do to michigan
@@thundergato84 Are you proud of jumping to conclusions? So far, no decision has been made, and no evidence of that has been presented...sounds like sour grapes from your team getting busted up by a superior team.
Michigan is ranked 12.5 points ahead of Washington in S&P +! which has proven to be a very accurate model of future performance. Michigan is better and they will prove it tonight. Hail to the victors!! Go Blue!!! 💛 💙
Really?! it Picked Oregon over Washington twice. It picked Oregon State over Washington. It picked Texas over Washington. How accurate is it? No doubt it picked Michigan over Washington. Seems there's a flaw in your model.
does anybody realize that Alabama allowed a school record record 48 sacks this year so when you see Michigan get seven sacks on them well rice would’ve got seven sacks on them. They allowed seven sacks every game this year to I’m out to 48 Washington has allowed 11 sacks totally different animals.
@@chetbennett5320 Name me the last 3 great pass rushers to come out of the PAC-12, and then repeat that with the Big Ten and SEC. Whole different type of ball. PAC-12 plays soft D. Michigan proved against Alabama they have the best D in the nation. Nobody in the SEC held Alabama to less total yards OR points than us.
@@Jleed989 I kinda agree. The Arizona State game was a good example of how Washington can have 3 turnovers in the first half and play terrible and still win the game 🤷🏻♂️ Another example would be playing terrible against Oregon State in the pouring down rain. But still win the game. That was a rough stretch for the huskies for sure. But they persevered….
If you say, "Michigan hasn't seen an offense like Washington's" without immediately pointing out that "Washington hasn't seen a defense like Michigan's", you are either lazy or biased.
Michigan was the sole National Champion in 1997, let's be honest about it. They won the AP poll and would have won the Coaches Poll if one, embittered, coach from a certain southern team hadn't voted them 8th in the poll just to screw them. That vote corrupted the Coaches Poll, so it should be discarded in deciding who the National Champion was. There were four National Champion trophies given that year and Michigan received three of them.
This game will look like Miami vs Baltimore... The comparisons are uncanny, not to mention John harbaugh and the baltimore defensive coordinators are down in texas helping ;)
@@Joseph70663No, moron he's saying that all you idiots are using the wrong metrics to evaluate the defenses. Also, when they strip Michigan (assuming they win) of their title and hand it to Washington, then DeBoer would have to deal with the penalties that Harbaugh's cheating. This is going to be a repeat of USC 2004.
@@gasperm3 Texas, Oregon, and Utah say hi clown. You act like Michigan has the 85 Bears defense. They almost lost to a mediocre Alabama team who Texas beat. Your point now?
@@theonlydjtopcatno. This is more like osu lol. Michigan has played Washington 3 years in a row with Osu. Guess who’s won 3 straight against a team with a better defense than Washington?
@@lordgrim355 that's why the games are played. TCU humbled Michigan last year, and then got stomped by Georgia. Both the SEC, and Big10 were not as strong this year as a whole compared to the PAC12.
There’s not nearly enough analysis and people being honest with themselves in this matchup. This is a dream matchup for the way Michigan wants to play and realistically this game won’t be close barring any injuries. Michigan wins 38-24
Yes I am late to the party here, but UMs 1997 natty was not “split” in any way. That’s simply exposed bias by these guys. UM won the AP award for national championship in 1997. AP was the governing body that for decades selected the champion. Just because in 1997 ESPN decided to also award a natty, means nothing and does not in anyway “split” UMs title 🙄
Michigan is the least penalized team and leads in the nation in turnovers at +18. Washington averages 10 penalties a game and is only +2 in turnovers. Michigan doesn't beat themselves!
Mmm well the Huskies also played a significantly atronger schedule against more difficult opponents overall. Thats GOING to effect your defensive numbers.
@HellfireHellesto Washington hasn't played a defense ranked in the top 50 in passing defense. Using your logic, wouldn't that suggest some of Washington's passing numbers are padded?
Regardless of outcome it'd be very funny and ironic if Harbaugh goes to the NFL before the Draft, has the opportunity to pick either Penix or McCarthy and his new team takes Michael 😅
I'm just looking at the Stats. I think it's michigans to lose. everyone is focused on the michigan D vs. Washingtons O. rightfully so, its a great match-up. my guess is that they meet somewhere in the middle. I think Washington will score somewhere between 24-28 points. however; the michigan offense vs. Washington defense seems like the biggest mismatch. michigan statistically is nerfed. they looked like they have struggled the past month. however they have gone against 4 of the top 15 defenses. while on avg scoring 9 points above the average. whereas 4 average is giving up 6 points more. so I expect Michigan to score between 35-42. so I would predict the score between 24-42 michigan, or 28-35
Did you really just say that? You might want to go look at the statistics. Michigan has faced way better defenses. PSU, OSU, Iowa, and Bama all have better defenses.
Oregon state plays keep away football by utilizing the ground game eating up the clock and pounding the ball straight st you , exactly what they tried against Washington , Washington takes this game and championship.
College football 12 team playoff will have teams sitting players the first two games of the season because they can make the playoff with a two lose season
I honestly thought michigans defense looked good until i found out that alabama allowed a school record 48 sacks this year...LMAO Washington has allowed 11 and played 7 top 25 teams this year
That's because there are no good defenses in the Pac 12. When you look at the stats, the PAC 12 is horrible as far as the rest of the nation goes, especially when it comes to "passing yards allowed."
Why TF do you have an OSU shill giving inside thoughts on Michigan? NO ONE from Michigan is telling this guy anything, so nothing but guessing coming out of his mouth.
Washington is better than Ohio St. Way better than Penn St. Probably would've beat Alabama. I just can't see how all the analysts and media guys are all in on Michigan. But the bettors and players are picking Washington.
You are aware that on top of their all-galaxy QB, their three NFL ready WRs, their day 2 (at the latest) TE, their quality RB, their O-line that is the best there is, that one of Washington's strengths is their Special Teams, right? Oh, and the schedule strengths between the two are not even close to comparable. Michigan played a steady stream of g5 bottom feeders, FCS teams, and the weaker sisters in the Little 10. Washington played 9 games against teams that were ranked when they played them or wound up the season ranked. That makes 10 now with Michigan. That's 10 out of 15. Yes, I included Boise State. They were ranked in the preseason poll. Furthermore, they did wind up winning their conference, didn't they? They did get a fairly decent bowl bid, didn't they? They did a decent job in that bowl game, didn't they?
A lot of words to push a team that lost by 21. Defense matters. The 4 PAC 12 teams going to the Big ten are going to get a tough lesson this year. The Wash O line got exposed as overrated. The tackles are good the guards are just too small. Mich had the best oline and d line in the nation and that's why Wash was out classed.
@@jppopper1516 Considering that three of those four teams are actually ranked in the early preseason polls, and the fourth is the only question mark, I would say that you are a deluded homer with little to no real evaluative abilities.
I'm taking the Huskies. That Michigan defense has played against pedestrian offenses. Michigan also doesn't have a Penix Jr. JJ McCarthy is a game manager. He played terrible against Bama.
Then why does JJ now have a 2024 championship ring on while Penix sits at home and cries? JJ is a 5 star unselfish stud, Washington relies on 1 great player to win. That’s the difference.
@@Abaygains Washington’s undersized defense won’t be able to stop them bro, gonna be running for 7 yards a pop. Might be more of a blowout then I’m giving credit for
I’d take your confidence down before you have your heart broken . If you go into this game thinking Michigan will just do what they want and this game won’t be down to the wire your going to give yourself heart problems
@@di114n2 heart broken? Michigan is going to win this game. They are the better team, favored to win, 74% chance to win. Best defense in the country. Top tier running back in Corum and Jj McCarthy. Every expert picking us. Feel free to come back to this comment when we win
@@JaredGofftheman I’m not saying they won’t but to think they’ll dominate that easily and this won’t be a nerve racking 4 quarter game is setting yourself up for heart palpitations. Score will be 44-41 I can guarantee my score will be closer to what actually happens
Michigan won't win the battle at the line like they did vs Bama....Washington o-line is the real deal. If Penix is good, then their o-line needs just as much praise. The question is going to be what can the Michigan offense do? Can they put up enough points to beat a high scoring Washington team. Huskies 31- Michigan 20
Lol Washington hasn't faced this good of a front 7. Shut up. I'm not saying you're wrong, but in no way can you make a confident claim and expect to be taken seriously
Michigan wins because defense wins championships and you failed to mention. Washington has not seen. Defense nearly as talented as Michigans....Go Blue
Problem with this belief in running the ball is Washington either scores fast or will use the clock as well. Takes one lead and this Michigan strategy will go out the window. Ask Texas and Oregon.
@@davidjelinek1977 must not have watch the game.. only because of freak ankle twist on tackle. otherwise UT gets the ball back with 15-20 secs and 80yrds to go with no TOs.
we’ve been hearing that for 21 games straight since before we lead wire to wire in the Alamo bowl last year against Texas. We still haven’t lost a game and we beat Texas this year and let them wire to wire. We still haven’t lost a game and we won’t.
Michigan dictates the tempo, controls both lines, JJ makes timely plays against a very poor defense, Penix gets his numbers (not Texas numbers, but still) Michigan wins 34-24!

Washington is better than Ohio St. Way better than Penn St. Probably would've beat Alabama. I just can't see how all the analysts and media guys are all in on Michigan. But the bettors and players are picking Washington.
Bettors and players picked Alabama and Texas as well
@@di114n2 bettors picked Alabama and Washington. Texas was -4.5 to -5 point favorite over Washington. But I get what you mean.
Welp the betters lost their money!
Naaa All the bettors were on MICHIGAN...correctly
38:28 Not nearly as much roster reconstruction as everyone wants to think.
You are aware that on top of their all-galaxy QB, their three NFL ready WRs, their day 2 (at the latest) TE, their quality RB, their O-line that is the best there is, that one of Washington's strengths is their Special Teams, right? Oh, and the schedule strengths between the two are not even close to comparable. Michigan played a steady stream of g5 bottom feeders, FCS teams, and the weaker sisters in the Little 10. Washington played 9 games against teams that were ranked when they played them or wound up the season ranked. That makes 10 now with Michigan. That's 10 out of 15. Yes, I included Boise State. They were ranked in the preseason poll. Furthermore, they did wind up winning their conference, didn't they? They did get a fairly decent bowl bid, didn't they? They did a decent job in that bowl game, didn't they?
A lot of words to push a team that lost by 21.
Defense matters. The 4 PAC 12 teams going to the Big ten are going to get a tough lesson this year.
The Wash O line got exposed as overrated. The tackles are good the guards are just too small. Mich had the best oline and d line in the nation and that's why Wash was out classed.
@@jppopper1516 Considering that three of those four teams are actually ranked in the early preseason polls, and the fourth is the only question mark, I would say that you are a deluded homer with little to no real evaluative abilities.
Michigan takes it 30-23 in a great game
Washington has played Stanford which uses a.2 tight end set. And they've beaten them..
🤣🤣🤣 oh nooo they beat Stanford
Nice pick Thamel, ya weasel. How bad does it hurt?
Lets Go Blue!!
🚽
Victor Thamel is the most disliked man in college football. I've never heard of him before this season and hopefully he'll move on to TMZ or something
MICHIGAN 49
Washington 24
Why does Pete Thamel remind me of Gollum?
I'm taking the Huskies. That Michigan defense has played against pedestrian offenses. Michigan also doesn't have a Penix Jr. JJ McCarthy is a game manager. He played terrible against Bama.
221 yards with 3tds and 0 ints is terrible?
Washington has only played cupcake defenses. Wolverines will beat Washington.
Then why does JJ now have a 2024 championship ring on while Penix sits at home and cries? JJ is a 5 star unselfish stud, Washington relies on 1 great player to win. That’s the difference.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hype all the defense you want against the sisters of the poor. You'll see what an offense is 1st time all year and it'll be a dandy
Buddy yall are simply osu 2.0 lol guess who’s beaten a washingtontype team 3 years in a row?
Good call 👎🏻
The SEC was the weakest conference.
Michigan 37 - Washington 24
Michigan ain't scoring that high 😂😂
@@Abaygains Washington’s undersized defense won’t be able to stop them bro, gonna be running for 7 yards a pop. Might be more of a blowout then I’m giving credit for
I’d take your confidence down before you have your heart broken . If you go into this game thinking Michigan will just do what they want and this game won’t be down to the wire your going to give yourself heart problems
@@di114n2 heart broken? Michigan is going to win this game. They are the better team, favored to win, 74% chance to win. Best defense in the country. Top tier running back in Corum and Jj McCarthy. Every expert picking us. Feel free to come back to this comment when we win
@@JaredGofftheman I’m not saying they won’t but to think they’ll dominate that easily and this won’t be a nerve racking 4 quarter game is setting yourself up for heart palpitations. Score will be 44-41 I can guarantee my score will be closer to what actually happens
Washington comes out fast but with Michigans resilience keeps them in the game and wins!
Michigan won't win the battle at the line like they did vs Bama....Washington o-line is the real deal. If Penix is good, then their o-line needs just as much praise. The question is going to be what can the Michigan offense do? Can they put up enough points to beat a high scoring Washington team. Huskies 31- Michigan 20
The Joe Moore line will be the No Moore Line after Michigans defense shred's it to pieces.
@@Atwater20 😆 that was pretty good
Lol Washington hasn't faced this good of a front 7. Shut up.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but in no way can you make a confident claim and expect to be taken seriously
@@Braylon18 People said the same thing about the Texas front...so keep thinking that
What about michigan O-line vs Washington’s D-line? Not even close.
Michigan wins because defense wins championships and you failed to mention. Washington has not seen. Defense nearly as talented as Michigans....Go Blue
Michigan 240 rush yards and wins 40-27
This game won't hit 40
crack smoking fentanyl fiend .
Buckeye Pete
Huskie pride🐺🟣🐺🟣
I would really like it if the Based_Outdoorsman could not delete his comments and come back and give me my medicine.... anybody know how to tag him?
Michigan 47-24
Or
31-10
Problem with this belief in running the ball is Washington either scores fast or will use the clock as well. Takes one lead and this Michigan strategy will go out the window. Ask Texas and Oregon.
Texas fumbled the ball twice and had to change their game plan . All
That , they had a chance to win on last play of them game
If you throw your game plan away down one score you deserve to lose
@@davidjelinek1977 must not have watch the game.. only because of freak ankle twist on tackle. otherwise UT gets the ball back with 15-20 secs and 80yrds to go with no TOs.
Michigan wins by a FG
Texas almost got Washington, so I think Michigan will get them
we’ve been hearing that for 21 games straight since before we lead wire to wire in the Alamo bowl last year against Texas. We still haven’t lost a game and we beat Texas this year and let them wire to wire. We still haven’t lost a game and we won’t.
only because of freak ankle twist on tackle. otherwise UT gets the ball back with 15-20 secs and 80yrds to go...
Bama took Michigan to OT... both games were close. that's why we loved em
ESPN IS WOKE AND UNWATCHABLE. I encourage you to turn the channel.
Michigan dictates the tempo, controls both lines, JJ makes timely plays against a very poor defense, Penix gets his numbers (not Texas numbers, but still) Michigan wins 34-24!
Michigan will stuff the UW run game, but remember, Washington has the same amount of interceptions as Michigan!
Thameltoe is such a clown
It’s not college it’s semi pro now. So boring. 😴 who cares?
Mich wins cuz of defense and cheating
Pete seems like a sour looser whenever he speaks
😂😂😂
These guys are so boring I can’t listen to this junk
This is interesting. As it turned out.....Washington scored 1 TD & 2 FGs. Boom. Michigan has an incredible defense.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡
