It helps that he is being called for holding tonight and he wasn’t last week. He was allowed to hold with impunity. 

Michigan has had guys on the line just run right past slow unready linemen.  They're pass rush is better.

Going into the Washington game the media acted like our D-line was going to get tons of pressure. That was never our strength. Our strength was run defense, not pressuring the QB.

Thats why we lost. We couldn’t get pressure on him (and sark wouldn’t run the damn ball). 

When you can pressure, it makes your secondary look like Michigan’s does tonight. Not that they aren’t really good—they are. But I’ll bet Muhammad starts looking like Will Johnson if Simmons and co. can start bringing a pass rush.

Johnson is not a lockdown corner, but he is good enough, along with the rest of the defense to make enough plays. It really is a team win, the entire year

the other way around IMO. i felt like we had way too much hype for our DTs heading into the game with husky

but michigan secondary is indeed better as well 

penix is exactly who we thought he was. we needed to pressure him and our plan sucked

Meh we stuffed the run that’s what those guys do. I was hoping Burke and hill would get some pressure they didn’t. Sweat was never going to sack penix. Murphy got close. Our tackles played fine but what you need against WA is Edge and no delayed blitz bullshit.

Way better! 

I and others pointed out that we had to edge contain and get a pass rush with 4. 

Our blitz package was always late.

Welp, maybe Harbaugh will move on now while he’s on top. Don’t really care either way I guess. I will say that they earned this one. 

He didn't even coach for half the season.  And when he did he was cheating.  Lol

please stop posting that it's a different Washington team. It's a different defense they are playing. a massively underrated front 7 and a secondary that had given up a number of TDs that we do in 2 games.

And Penix has been reckless, his receivers have dropped a lot of balls, and they’ve actually been called for penalties. They’ve been much sloppier than last week.

There's this thing called matchups in sports. We matched up better with Michigan than Washington. Washington matched up better against us than against Michigan. Michigan matches up with Washington better than we did. 

Washington was the one team in the playoffs who could exploit our weakness. Bama and Michigan's pass game was nowhere near what Washington's was.

I’m just busting your balls a little bit. You guys had a great season this year. It’s probably the best Texas team I’ve seen in a decade or more.

Penix is quite fragile, it appears.

That RT is getting worked by the spin move.

I don't know if I would say he's fragile, but he's hurt (maybe broken rib?).

And with the pressure and hits that Michigan has on him, he's gun shy now.

I’m really watching Wash #73 now. There’s no way he played this bad against us right? He’s fucking awful.

Well they got their fancy OL award that they couldn’t shut the fuck yup about. Maybe they can put that on their stadium.

Burke just runs into tackle's chest, doesn't use his 8 foot arms for shit.

This is what having someone like Colin Simmons does for our pass rush. We need more like him. 

Hoping he can make an impact at least on obvious passing downs with Moore opposite

So is Michigan really at risk to lose the championship? 

Penn State got their wins stripped, but then reinstated for covering up child rape for decades. So I doubt Mich gets wins taken away for what they did.
