Washington Vs Texas Semifinal Thread

What happened in 1975 really has no bearing on this game. Dude, I really like this Washington team, especially their HC and QB, but Michigan’s lines are just better. Sure it will probably be a good game and UW can win, but I think they’ll really struggle with Michigan’s O and D line. They beat Bama in the trenches today.
The talent difference between these two teams and Penn State’s offense is insane. We’re not even in the same galaxy.
Grubb might regret that throw away series after the fumble recovery. The DPI was huge. 15 yard penalty vs 40+ yard completion, take the penalty and mug the guy.
PSU is equal or better at RB and TE. But not remotely close in QB, OL, WR, and schemes.
What’s funny is which of the four teams didn’t belong? But the SEC has to have a team in it.
If Washington is in a different galaxy then how did they only beat Arizona and ASU by seven and Wash State by three? Texas had their share of not so great games as well. They’re both good teams, but let’s not get carried away.
Unlucky injury. Clock would have gone down to about 15 seconds without it. Now UT will have about 45
Michael Penix Jr. leads No. 2 Washington to 37-31 victory over Texas and spot in national title game
Michael Penix Jr. passed for 430 yards and two touchdowns as Washington beat Texas 37-31 to advance to the College Football Playoff championship game.

....In Texas' first CFP appearance and final football game as a member of the Big 12 before it goes to the Southeastern Conference, Ewers passed for 318 yards and a touchdown. But it wasn't enough against Penix and his array of talented receivers.
“They were a second away from playing for a national championship,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. “They should be proud of themselves. Penix got hot and (Washington) made some big plays down the field.”.....
Cannot recall the last time I saw a report/statement about a PSU QB getting hot as the story of a game.
It is possible that I am experiencing some short term memory loss, tho.
I do find it funny that the SEC is shut out of the championship game. Truly last year OSU should have beaten in Georgia if MHJ did not go down and still had a shot to kick the fg to win it.

I could be wrong but if I recall correctly a long long time ago, I think it might have been in a “Rose Bowl”, the starting QB won what I believe was called the “Offensive MVP” award and his performance made many a headline. This would have been many months ago though.
The texts show the opposing coach had this to say, “(Penn State’s) quarterback was exceptional. High completion percentage, threw for a bunch of yards,” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham
When was the last time some referenced our array of talented receivers?
I’m just not sure how Washington stops Michigan’s running game, and Michigan will come after Penix, however he is very impressive and very accurate.
Joe Moore OL winner protecting him. Texas got 0 sacks against him. Will definitely be a key matchup. Bama was a tough matchup, but Washington is a much better passing team.
Dude, you’re supposed to go back and delete posts in which you were wrong. Not highlight them!😹
