  1. Completely different ballgame now. Michigan had a chance to grind Washington's defense down and take a two TD lead into the locker room. Instead, they let Washington's defense get 3 stops in a row, then close it to 7 points. Washington will come out and probably tie this thing up on the first drive.
  2. 4th and 3 with the chance to ice the first half and you're MFing Michigan. You run a pass play, giving Washington the chance to cut it to 7 points before the half and then get the ball right back to start the 2nd half. Dumbest shit I've seen since Sark refused to pound the rock.
  3. The guy playing QB tonight is playing against a real secondary and is getting pressured at least a little bit.
  4. Saw Odunze with 1-on-1 and the blood rushed straight to his penis. Understandable.
  5. Exactly. Wear them down, keep Penix off the field, etc. We basically wore down our own defense instead.
  6. All this talk about "passing so we didn't fumble" when running is considered playing conservative to protect the football has me just a little bit pissed off.
  7. Yep. I'll always root for the UTs, UMs, UCLAs, USCs, Dukes, N. Carolinas over the trash SEC schools with no academic standards. Washington is a great school too, especially Foster.
  8. Running it down their throats and it's only the 1st quarter. Wait until late in the 3rd quarter and the 4th quarter when Washington's defense is worn down.
  9. I can't force myself to root for a wrong-handed QB. They should be a mirror image of a right-hander, but they never are. Penix can spin it, but he looks like Uncle Rico. Therefore, go Michigan.
  10. Sark will always have the same weakness. He's a brilliant schemer and play-caller, so he simply cannot force himself to run left, run right, run middle all game long, no matter how effective it is.
  11. Brady had the mind and just needed time for the physical side to catch up. Ewers is 180 degrees opposite, and you don't develop into a stone cold killer. That's something you either are or aren't. Ewers isn't.
  12. He won't. I'm sure my opinion will rustle some feathers, but Ewers is exactly what we've seen. Good enough to win a bunch of games, but not good enough to win the last game of the season. Think Tony Romo, Dak Prescott, etc. He's not a killer. Never has been and never will be. He's a slow processor who's gotten by on incredible arm talent (that's a compliment...his arm talent alone makes him pretty good). He also has a fundamental misunderstanding of that being "cool/calm under pressure" means. He thinks it means to just sit on the sideline with his brain on cruise control. What it really means is your mental intensity/focus is as high as ever, but your execution is relaxed. It's not a lack of mental activity, it's controlled mental activity. The difference between the top 10% and the top 1%, talent/ability being equal, is what I just described. Ewers is not the latter.
  13. Our running game wasn't the problem. Does Brooks play CB or Safety? Or QB for that matter?
  14. Had to drag his feet because the ball was too close to the sideline, leaving him no vertical. Fucking Ewers. Mitchell is 6'4". You throw the ball HIGH, not at the sideline.
  15. That weird play cost us a play. We only have time for one more now instead of 2.
  16. Sark Special right here. Nothing gimmicky, just a well designed play. If it's over the middle, it's gotta be in the endzone.
  17. If they over turn this, things need to burn. There isn't enough to overturn that and I think it's a catch anyway. His fingertips never left the ball. That "bobble" was the heel of his hand.
  18. I/we have been on the losing side of so many of these last second heartbreaks, it would be nice to have one go our way for once.
  19. Washington was 119th in the country in pass defense. But they can defensively outscheme Sark? Only Texas. Only Texas.
  20. They'll Defensive Hold or Pass Interference that until the clock runs out.
  21. I've always wondered why you don't kick a low knuckleball right at someone. Yeah, they might dodge it, but a knuckler would give you a chance. Soccer goalies don't always catch it clean and that's a round ball. Just absolutely drill someone with it.
  22. I said in the CFP selection thread that we shouldn't be. It's not about who's the better team or has the better players; it's about how the teams match up. Washington is the worst possible matchup for us. Their strength is our weakness and we're seeing it tonight.
  23. It's 2019 LSU/Joe Burrow. Just a different shade of purple and the gold is actually gold.
  24. It's over. Without a turnover, it's over. We got behind a team that we can't stop. We're the tail end of the slinky.
