Will be pulling for Washington as I despise Harbaugh, but I worry Michigan will beat them to death with their rushing attack. Penix is going to have to exceptional under alot of pressure for Washington to win. He was ridiculous against Texas and I don't know if I've ever seen someone hit the mark on long passes like him, except maybe Burrow.
Michigan hasn’t seen a guy like him all season . I’m going w/ Washington because of Penix.
I think Penix has some Joe Burrow to him. He places the ball so well and has the ability to move too. It really does remind me of Burrow.Honestly, few college players have ever seen someone like this. He's not the scariest QB ever in terms of arm talent or run threat, but he may be the closest thing I've ever seen to a good NFL QB with 5 years under his belt. His awareness and ability to stay in the pocket, move around, maintain space, while reading the entire field and then making accurate throws...who is even in the conversation with him?
The strength of Michigan's D is clearly the pass rush/D line but the strength of Washington's offense is arguably the WR's, or OL, or Penix. They got such great units (better than Bama at all 3 of those position groups) and it's hard to believe Michigan will get as many stops as they did against Bama. Maybe the pass rush is that good and wrecks Washington's game plan, but that's not what I expect.

IMO, Bama was a flawed football team, but they were playing lights out the last 5 weeks of the season, with the exception of the Auburn game. Michigan having a month to prepare for a Bama team that was flawed on the oline and with a qb who still has issues reading the D was the worst thing that could’ve happened for Bama. I think if they play the week after the SEC and B1G title games Bama probably wins.
