I think Klatt makes a good point when he compares this game to the 2021 OSU vs Michigan game, at least on paper based on tendencies. OSU (Stroud) passed for 394 yds in 2021 and only scored 27 pts. They had a great QB and receivers, comparable to Washington's. Same thing in 2022. If people think Wash will score at will, it's unlikely to happen. They won't have the same success passing like they did against Texas. The Longhorns were a better matchup for them.
And if Wash cannot run the ball, anyone who watches football knows that one-dimensional teams usually lose. I see that Dillon Johnson will play but is he 100%? Bama couldn't run except for Milroe, and Penix doesn't run much (similar to Stroud). Michigan's D-line is very good, among the best as they showed against Bama.
If Wash can't stop the run like OSU didn't (M rushed for 297 yds that '21 game!), they're in big trouble.
So its unstoppable force vs immovable object. Should be a good game.

I flew to both the 2019 and this year’s game against Michigan.

It was close until the 4th Qtr. I thought it would be closer. Mich rushed for 303 yds. Wash had 301 yds total.

Michigan vs. Washington - Michigan gets the Natty. Hate for this scenario where the Harbaugh brothers could win the National Championship and the Super Bowl in the same year. It's possible.
In this instance, I wish I was wrong. Again, the Harbaugh brothers might have the National Championship and the Super bowl in the same year. I think I am going to puke.
Texas passing game wasn't on par with Washington's passing game. Evers didn't look in synch with his receivers. Texas running game was pretty good. They should have kept running the ball to set up the passing game. Washington is looking good although their running game didn't do so well against Texas. I am sticking with Michigan but Washington will be game for an upset. I am glad two undefeated teams are in the CFP.
This scenario played out last night. Michigan ran roughshod over Washington's defense. If Texas did the same thing they would be playing Michigan. Penix was off last night. A few passes sailed on him when he had open receivers. Oh well. Good job Michigan. Now let's see if you can keep Harbaugh since he may be going to the Raiders in the NFL.

Michigan's defense ran roughshod over Washington's offense. They beat up on Penix, he wasn't just off, they pressured him and that's why he was off. Most QB's would have the same issue. Even a QB like Brady or Peyton Manning (you name one) plays worse under pressure, but the problem is that not many teams are capable of QB pressure like what Michigan did. Their defense is better than most if not all of the teams Penix has seen this year. They scored 13 points in 13 possessions.

Antonio Pierce is the leading candidate for the Raiders' head coaching position.
