GAME THREAD - Washington vs Michigan

[RUTGERS95]

So…like GW??

no not at all

 

[BillyC80]

That sack by Grant a few minutes ago was scary good.

 

[ashokan]

That didn't look good. Broken collarbone?

I saw him grab lower right bicep.

 

[RUTGERS95]

This Michigan team manhandled Alabama, just about no one in the B10 is like this team.

Even the last two Michigan teams weren’t like this Michigan team. Their top ranked defense didn’t bottle up TCU last year. This team has been honed after 2 prior playoff appearances.

we played well till the int, RU is better than even our own fans give credit for

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Love the PAC12 commercials lol

 

[Tango Two]

Big 3rd down stop

 

[RUTGERS95]

did not like that play there. they should have run the slot to the weak side and ran outside

 

[koleszar]

McCarthy having a Wimsatt kind of day. 3/8 55yds. go meditate some more.

now Wimsatt is a name for sucking up the day lol

don't wimsatt the game

 

[rurichdog]

That's a PI flag in a RU vs UM game

 

[rurichdog]

And there's a blatant PI. Been a pretty clean game until then.

 

[ashokan]

Boss tackle from #7

 

[Tango Two]

Needed 7 there

 

[Tango Two]

Big 4th down

 

[Tango Two]

TD Washington

 

[rurichdog]

Boss tackle from #7

Went under the lineman's block, then exploded upwards to make the big tackle. Never seen that before...that was like something out of a Marvel flick.

 

[RUTGERS95]

how does he NOT go out of bounds??????????

 

[Tango Two]

At least we have a game going into second half

 

[ashokan]

Michigan was playing deeper with secondary to begin game.
That made sense vs a prolific pass game.
Then Wash changed-up and started running on the open spaces left by defenses.
That's what Wimsatt should have been doing.
TV analysts were always saying "Wimsatt should be running more" but it would never come.
He is RUs all-time record holder for QB running and left yards on the field every game

 

[G- RUnit]

did not like that play there. they should have run the slot to the weak side and ran outside

Michigan stopped going outside. Strange.

 

[Plum Street]

Great game.
Now I fall asleep at halftime like every other one of these championship games !

 

[newell138]

Not overly impressed with Penix in this game

 

[Tango Two]

Terrible start

 

[koleszar]

Well that'll certainly turn the momentum.

 

[RUChoppin]

Ouch

 

[RU206]

Michigan’s DT control the LOS.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

 

[Tango Two]

Holding to 3 was big

 

[koleszar]

Washington just playing the run now, they have no fear of McCarthy completing a pass. Smart move.

 

[rurichdog]

Penix looking very average tonight.

 

[Tango Two]

Big run McCarthy

 

[gmay8]

Big run McCarthy

Game changing

 

[RUDeac]

JJ runs better than Wimsatt. Wimsatt is useless.

 

[newell138]

I feel like Dave Portnoy should have better seats

 

[newell138]

Big run McCarthy

They had him bottled up too

 

[RUDeac]

Another overthrow. So overrated.

 

[RU848789]

Michigan had all the momentum early on, but seemed to almost ease up or maybe UW just started playing better. Either way, we have a ball game at the end of the 3Q.

 

[RU Cheese]

Penix has not been good.

Also, it's upsetting how WAS schemes and designs plays to get the ball to its playmakers. Simple plays but things we don't do nearly as wel.

 

[RUDeac]

I was told UW’s receiving corp is very good.

 

[Knight Shift]

Wow. Even great QBs miss open WRs.

Bad pass

Not sure if you guys were talking about this pass, but:
