How is Washington overrated? They don't have the same talent level across the field as those other top tier teams. They over achieved like TCU did last year.

According to 247, Washington ranked outside of the top 25 based on talent composite.


Based on your statement, you can say that Mario is overrated. BTW, Miami ranked 12th on the list.

Washingtons O-Line is overrated. It was a typo.

And there is nothing to step into when your entire IOL is getting pancaked backwards at will of the D-Line.

I knew once he started acting like he was hurt every play he was toast

I’m sure he was beat up, especially by the end of the game, but the limping around after you know you missed an easy play is a tale as old as time

Hate to say it about the kid because i like his game, but the visible “pain’ increased as the chances of winning diminished.
Also, DeBoer didn’t offer much assistance walking with him in the tunnel to the locker room.

Watch, us heartless fools will find out he has 7 broken ribs.

To his credit, from what I’ve read, I didn’t see him making any excuses or deflecting.

I hear ya, but that's one game. And, Michigan D-Line has wrecked everyone O-Line this year.

It wouldn't surprise me if Michigan D-Line is more talented than Washington O-Line.

And, I believed many folks picked Michigan to win this game based on their dominance in the trenches alone.

Yeah don’t get me wrong that kid is a beast and I’m a huge fan

But you could just tell Michigan had him way off

My main issue was that RT #73 was STRUGGLING and they kept leaving him out there alone while all the pressure came from that side.

That’s the scheme.

Send 5 out into the pattern and force you to cover.

Id rather do that than bring in an extra blocker for every sack you give up in the game.

That’s how you end up with 2-3 meh patterns!

Yeah, me, for example.

Washington didn't face many outstanding D-Lines this season.

So not one comment suggesting he let someone else that is healthy have a go, especially when the Washington Defense was playing so well in the second half. The D needed a break instead of INT's and 3 and outs. I read he basically refused to come out but you have a number two for a reason and the coaches need to be decisive and do what can win the game. Seeing how pained he was had Michigan attacking and blitzing more.

The coaches of Washington should be arrested for the torture they put Penix through. That shot after the game where he struggled to leave the field all by himself was heart rending. I could not believe they did not sub for him as he struggled valiantly. It reminded me of a time when we tortured the Oklahoma QB and Barry Switzer stopped him from returning to his punishment with a hug and a sit down. Made me admire Switzer at that time. Also reminds me of Mike Martin and how he ruined his pitching staffs, no game is that important to risk permanent injury. I haven't checked today of any reports on his injuries but it was obvious during the game he needed to be pulled.

That's true. Oregon was their best test.

Yeah, and even there, you saw that front is susceptible to stunts inside.

But Michigan is coached almost to perfection. Forget the sign stealing, what they do up front and in coverage is about as disciplined and well coached as you can get.

If you have someone who can sell up front (and Harbaugh can, regardless of whether I like him or don't, he has pull), your assistants can be Xs and Os people.

People point to that and go "Well Mario wants to do the same"... sure go for it, but Mario wants to meddle. Harbaugh doesn't meddle, Harbaugh takes care of his stuff and lets his coaches coach.
