Penix Jr and those 2 WRs are stupid good.
I want Washington, but wow they're electric.
January 1st, 2024 at 10:40 PM ^
Nice to see others recognizing this.
They also have a couple pretty good RBs.
I think U-Dub would be a real handful in the final.
January 1st, 2024 at 10:30 PM ^
The rule which allows the defense to force a delay of game by running slowly off the field needs to be changed this summer. Instead of basing it on the defense's substitution speed, there should be objective limits: the offense must complete its substitutions with 10 seconds remaining on the game clock; the ball can't be snapped within 7 seconds after the last offensive substitution. If the defense can't get their guys in position within 7 seconds, too bad for them.
January 1st, 2024 at 10:30 PM ^
Tejas DB's are all 15 yards off the line, just letting UW receivers run down the field. Would assume we'll try jamming within 5 yards to give our DL more time to get a rush.
January 1st, 2024 at 10:31 PM ^
Texas is running the well-known "not in the face" defense.
January 1st, 2024 at 10:32 PM ^
Key is to actually bring Penix down when you get to him. Texas with pressure but not enough to bother Penix
January 1st, 2024 at 10:32 PM ^
Penix throws a beautiful deep ball
January 1st, 2024 at 10:33 PM ^
I hope washington wins so that former osu qb ewers is not in national championship game
January 1st, 2024 at 10:38 PM ^
Ewers did blatantly bilk some moronic OSU donor out of a million bucks and left basically as soon as the check cashed. Kind of admirable in a way.
January 1st, 2024 at 10:37 PM ^
He gone! Was that a target?
January 1st, 2024 at 10:38 PM ^
That’s a good penalty by Uw. Ewers hesitated on the slide. Make him pay for it. Also, only cost you 3 yards?
January 1st, 2024 at 10:38 PM ^
Neither of these teams has the ‘Bama defense, and if we can avoid shooting ourselves in the feet on offense and special teams, we should be able to score against either. I think Penix & Co are the scarier offense, but probably with the slightly worse defense.
January 1st, 2024 at 10:41 PM ^
Washington is outgaining Texas 10.2-5.9 ypp, but it's tied at halftime. Reminds me of another game today.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:08 PM ^
Penix is a really hi-IQ quarterback. I’d love to see UM-UW for B10/F-Finebaum reasons, but that dude is for real.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:14 PM ^
Rub Finebaum's head and remind him that it would essentially be another B1G championship game.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:11 PM ^
Penix with a dart.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:11 PM ^
Also, Penix has a cannon. He just powered that ball in there. He looks casually awesome. Is it him or the Texas D or some of each?
January 1st, 2024 at 11:13 PM ^
Well, B12 generally doesn't play defense and neither does Texas.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:17 PM ^
Penix is the type of QB that can single-handedly lead his team to a national championship, I know everyone is afraid of Texas having more fans in Houston, but not sure they are not safer choice (even with two best run-stopping DTs in college).
January 1st, 2024 at 11:19 PM ^
As poor as Washington's defense is, it might only take a couple of stops for our defense to end the game, particularly if our run game is working. Can choke the life out of the game and keep Penix on the sideline.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:23 PM ^
You HAVE to pressure Penix. If you don't you're dead, even if your coverage is good.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:12 PM ^
Finally some football! Just me, or was that halftime about 45 minutes long?
January 1st, 2024 at 11:14 PM ^
I watched two other postgame shows thinking I missed something and turned it back in time for the kick. That was a crazy long halftime. Ours probably was too but we were all taking a piss and making sure nobody in the room changed seats
January 1st, 2024 at 11:17 PM ^
Just realized I was about 10 minutes behind after pausing at HT. I'm a duufus!
And now UT turns it over. They better hold UW to a FG, or this game might be over early.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:13 PM ^
Washington is like OSU on offense, but competent
January 1st, 2024 at 11:16 PM ^
Go right for the end zone here
January 1st, 2024 at 11:17 PM ^
Penix should have won the Heisman
January 1st, 2024 at 11:17 PM ^
Penix dropping dimes all night long... not sure Texas can keep up....
January 1st, 2024 at 11:19 PM ^
Washington offense looks unstoppable. Hope they use all those bullets in the chamber tonight. I mean, Stanford almost beat them so... There's a way
January 1st, 2024 at 11:19 PM ^
This might be the game if Washington can score again.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:19 PM ^
These three receivers would be a pain to cover in the championship game. I’m sure Minter can draw up a good defense for them though.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:19 PM ^
Penix constantly going deep
twss
January 1st, 2024 at 11:25 PM ^
again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
January 1st, 2024 at 11:20 PM ^
I am surprised Washington OL is able to hold off Texas DL even though they didn't on that drive. Texas DL look huge compared to Washington OL.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:23 PM ^
Penix getting it off really quick, even the deep throws are released before the WR is 30 yds downfield. UT also has to respect the PA because they're DL can't stop the run on its own. They just can't get to him...
January 1st, 2024 at 11:20 PM ^
This Penix fellow is quite good. Wow.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:20 PM ^
Kick the FG. A 2-score lead in this game is gold...
January 1st, 2024 at 11:26 PM ^
Penix has been really good tonight. Getting ball out quick; making good calls on reads and keeps, etc. Full letter grade better than the next best QB we’ve played this year.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:29 PM ^
Texas is running for 6.9 YPC. UW for 3.3. Both have the same number of carries.
WTF is Texas calling so many passes?
January 1st, 2024 at 11:30 PM ^
Sark gonna Sark.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:32 PM ^
Sarkesian is a pass first offensive coach, always has been. He doesn't have the patience to wait out a good running game.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:34 PM ^
Sounds like Ryan Day
January 1st, 2024 at 11:30 PM ^
Idle observation: This referee has some of the cleanest signals ever. Looks great on penalty signals especially.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:31 PM ^
UW scores here and that's the dagger.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:31 PM ^
Who is everyone’s choice to play in the championship and why? I’m starting to lean Texas because Ewers looks like he could be confused a lot by our defensive shemes and they aren’t as explosive as Washington. Penix is getting the ball out quickly to avoid the Texas defensive line.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:33 PM ^
Tend to agree. Penix looks difficult to bring down and he plays so comfortably on the pocket
January 1st, 2024 at 11:38 PM ^
Would like the all(almost)-B1G Washington / Michigan final, but I'd rather play Texas. Stopping Penix is going to take some doing.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:45 PM ^
I wanted UW when I thought Texas was better. Now that I think UW is better, I want Texas.
But in seriousness, I do think the UM defensive strengths line up well against UW. We can limit the run with a light box and play the OSU defense. Try to keep them in the mid 20s. But Penix is gong to be very tough to stop for 4 quarters
Offensively, I think we can run the ball against their front.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:47 PM ^
Doesn't matter what anyone wants anymore, UW is gonna beat Texas.
January 1st, 2024 at 11:32 PM ^
UW about to pull away it seems
