Kenneth Grant #78 only a true sophomore Mason Graham #55 right next to him also a true sophmore Harbaugh is an unbelievable talent evaluator and developer Michigan is one of those rare teams that pulls starters early throughout the reg season & plays everyone Michigan also rotates all 11 guys on defense throughout the season..plays 7 olineman too (keeps players out of the portal/develops guys faster) Other teams are more concerned with how the final score looks and getting their starters stats.
Washington gap control was absolutely Brutal in the 1st quarter. Michigan got away from the double team blocking plays. If Michigan didn't try and get to cute. It would have been a blow out by half time. Washington isn't built for bully ball.
It reminds me of what happened to Michigan when Rich Rod took over. He tried to bring Virginia’s style of play in. All the bruisers in the league kicked their butts and set em back. We finally reached this pinnacle of doing all the bruising! The B1G should change the logo to something spelling HUGE and maybe even incorporate a little of the old PAC 12 logo.
@atbsigma don't remind me of the dark days that's because Vince Young was killing everyone with that read option stuff including Michigan when he ran and passed all over us in the rose bowl. So Michigan thought they would go and hire the so called master of the read option/ wildcats stuff. That basically put the program back big time. I love the fact Jim went back to old school hat on a hat play on both sides of the ball. Coach bo would be very proud of this team and the job this coaching staff did.
I think Moore likes to find weaknesses and then save exploiting them until it matters most. In every game we needed to score late, he always put together the drive that worked early in the game. Like he didn't want to give the opposing defense too many chances to adjust.
You're ignoring the huge holds Michigan was getting away with on every big play. As soon as Washington threatened to tie it up in the 2nd half, the refs put a stop to that calling ticky tac holds
That 2nd TD Edwards didn’t get to the back side. The play is designed to read the LB, the LB came down(left) meaning the hole to the right is the initial read
When I saw Washington lineup with two deep safeties at the beginning of the game vs Michigan I had a feeling it was going to be a long time for their defense
a little more focus on the defense would be nice, especially since UW was supposed to have the best O-line in college football this season and they didn't do much of a job protecting penix. they had the ball 13 times and managed only 13 points. i'd say looking at what jesse minter did as the UM DC deserved a lot more attention.
Excellent analysis. I am looking forward to next season. One of the September games that will be interesting is the USC Trojans visiting Michigan on September 21
I think at 2:27 Edwards may have purposefully paused behind his lineman to trick the safety into going downhill, so then he can beat him to the hole. You can see a similar thing against Ohio State when Corum juked to the inside to make the linebacker overpursue
@@mikeb1596there were holds on both sides, it literally happens in every game, the only time they called it in this game was when the Washington linemen made the Michigan defender fall down.
Michael Penix got exposed for the first time in this game all season. The plays Washington Offensive Coordinator was calling were great plays. Ryan Grubb had guys open all game long but Michigan’s D line was overwhelming Washington’s O line. This game showed me if Penix gets pressured he misses so many reads and forces so many throws. Pressure absolutely destroys his decision making and accuracy. So a good D line will destroy Penix that’s all I needed to know watching that game. He can’t perform well under pressure. He makes so many rushed irrational decisions and throws inaccurate passes or misses them completely.
He was looking like a deer in headlights towards the end of the game. I’m sure that playing with injury had something to do with it but it was more than just that, the defense was in his head.
Michigan played well and UW played poorly. UW’s D wasn’t staying sound in the first quarter but once they did, they locked up UM for 2.5 straight quarters. Meanwhile, UW’s offense was schemed well to beat Michigan. They had receivers getting open all night. However, UM’s d-line, more specifically, their d-tackle made it so Penix didn’t have a lot of time to throw. However, we’ve seen this before and Penix has gotten the ball out quick and accurately. Penix also missed several wide open throws un-pressured that he almost always makes. I knew we were in trouble when I saw Penix throwing high and behind the receivers from the get go. He’s had games like that before. The mid-season slump for Penix was a real thing. Some games he is just off and other games he puts that ball in the tightest of windows. He also tends to throw with so much velocity that when he is off, his receivers can’t really do much adjustment to the ball. The team overcame his bad games with the run game, but with DJ running at about 50 percent out there and losing Cam in the preseason, we had no other backs that stepped up to make it happen. It really sucks that DJ got re-injured in the 1st quarter of that Texas game and then again in the 4th quarter. I would have loved for the country to see what that kid can really do. If DJ was healthy, that Michigan defense ain’t gonna get to T off on the QB like that. If Penix brought his A game and not his D game, then it wouldn’t have mattered. Shoot, if Penix just hits a few wide open deep balls when the defense doesn’t get home then UW still wins. It really sucks that they couldn’t bring their A game. Michigan played well and deserved to win that game but I honestly feel like UM was an easier matchup for UW than Texas. I knew UW’s D was gonna get some stops on Michigan. Knowing that Penix was a few wide open throws away from UW going into the 4th up by 2 scores was awful. I wasn’t too worried about the ASU game, despite the offense performing horribly, because of the context. The game that got me worried was how UW played for WSU. When I saw that…..I was like….”oh no, we might choke.” Then, we showed up for the Oregon game and the Texas game so I was hoping we were past it….anyway, congratulations to Michigan on earning themselves a Natty. If you want to win championships then you gotta show up when the lights at brightest and they did.
Washington offense got suffocated slowly. Michigan was able to become extremely conservative after building lead Especially after being aggressive help lead to Wash only TD Washing wasn't driving 80 yards on that defense
McCarthy is a very good quarterback. With Washington’s receivers, he’d be the best quarterback college football has seen in awhile. I’d love to see him come back next year and keep getting better
Donovan Edwards really needs to work on his vision before he can be an every down back. That first TD is how he sees holes. He doesn't. The second TD was his best run and had a good cutback
I didn't realize how explosive that jump cut was on Edwards's second TD on the right side. The springs on his (and Blake's) legs are a testament to the strength and conditioning at the foundation of this team.
Unfortunately vision isn’t really something that can be taught. I’m sure Edwards can improve it but someone like Blake and the way he sees the field is something you’re born with.
Yes, I've been saying this since last season. Having to argue with people saying Edwards was better than Corum. Silly silly people that don't watch the details. That hole on Edwards first run was huge immediately, but he still didn't see it.
@@SeekTheTruth1623His vision is good but at RB you are taught to run the fucking play which he did show patience waiting for blocks to develop then he looked backside and hit it. You obviously don’t watch Michigan football enough if you think he’s lacking in vision, only weakness in his game is physicality or being a main 3 down back. It’s a reason he pops off these untouched long runs like he did in the natty and against that scarlet team down south(last year) 👀 Speed, Vision, and Catching is his best assets
@@VanB you obviously don't pay attention to the details of the game. His vision is trash. I watch every Michigan game and sometimes rewatch it to verify
What is your honest opinion of the PAC and defense? I think they are uniformly poor, which allows QBs toplight up the scoreboard and look invincible. I think Penix got exposed. He is good, but anyone can be great in the PAC playing against teams that only care about highlight reel passing and defense is apparently optional. USC, Oregon and WA. Penix was in the B1G and left, Nix was in the SEC and left. Both looked incredible in the PAC, but not as great in their former conferences.
I totally agree with u as soon as they felt pressure. They panic, remember Michigan only got one sack the whole game. But beating the oline all night.and that was supposed to be the best line in the country. U can tell Michael was rattle because he missed some wide open throws he hits all day.
Now that the PAC is dissolved, the 4 teams coming across were among its best. They will learn in 2024 from the blue chip schools and probably beat up on the usual bottom feeders of the conference.

Michigan was getting away wth blatant holds all game on those big runs and several plays McCarthy would have been sacked. Michigan o-line was allowed to pull jerseys and hold arms from behind. As soon as Washington threatened to tie to in the 2nd half they get called for ticky tac holds.
@@coreywahl524 Washington got called for holds on key big plays that were extremely tricky tac. Every single big play Michigan had at least 1 of their o-line players were pulling arms or jerseys on the player about to get a tackle or sack. They were huge holds in front of the refs that were impossible to miss. Face the facts, NFL and college games are steered. Sorry, didn't mean to crush your fantasy
@@mikeb1596whose fantasy? Michigan fans are celebrating a natty meanwhile you’re crying about the refs in the comments of a UA-cam video. Btw Washington lost bc their offense got exposed.
@@weeger3930 lol ok bud. All of Michigan s big plays had huge holds right in front of the ref and right when the play was going to get stopped. As soon as Washington threatened to tie it the flags came out for much less than what Michigan was allowed to get away with. Michigan was obviously decided as the winner before it started, and it's obvious based on the coverage and the officiating. They even got caught cheating, if Washington was caught cheating they wouldn't even have been allowed in the playoffs. Enjoy your fake title
That DT who sacked Penix is 340lbs and runs like a deer. Absolute freak athlete. Michigan is built so tough from top to bottom. True bullies. Go Blue!
He dropped into zone coverage a couple times too. His athleticism as a large human being is amazing
Michigans defenders are all extremely versatile. Their DL, Edges, and LBs are capable of taking on multiple different responsibilities on the field.
Kenneth Grant #78 only a true sophomore
Mason Graham #55 right next to him also a true sophmore
Harbaugh is an unbelievable talent evaluator and developer
Michigan is one of those rare teams that pulls starters early throughout the reg season & plays everyone
Michigan also rotates all 11 guys on defense throughout the season..plays 7 olineman too (keeps players out of the portal/develops guys faster)

Grant. He ran down a RB in the open vs Penn state.
💯 That was a hella legit play at PSU@@MrThebuttdog

Harbaugh assembled a road grater O-line and very big and quick defense. NFL-LIKE. They are so skilled at every position.

Washington plays Michigan about 3 weeks later. At Washington.
I think at 2:27 Edwards may have purposefully paused behind his lineman to trick the safety into going downhill, so then he can beat him to the hole. You can see a similar thing against Ohio State when Corum juked to the inside to make the linebacker overpursue
Pure dominance by both of Michigan's lines.
Welcome to the Big Ten Washington 😂
what's funny?
It helps when one team is allowed to get away with massive holds all game
@@tre_4 what's funny is the best Pac12 team getting demolished in the trenches vs the best BigTen team.

Sucks to hear he's left..
Michigan must be too cheap to throw a dawg a bone..
Smh
Hes a senior actually it was his last year we have jaiden davis taking over at qb next year
The first touchdown is also duo but they ran doubling both players on the left side instead of the tackles like a normal duo
Enjoyed. Thanks

Great breakdown!!
