About the Defense...

Good points and It helps that Jayvon Parker is back. I thought Bryce Butler had a good game and I thought there was some talk that Elinneus Davis had been dinged but should be fully healthy by Michigan?
Though he is oft-injured, Durfee is a pretty good edge. I'm not sure if he'll be back for Michigan though, his injury may have been more of a 4-6 week thing (and it will have been 3 weeks after he got hurt against Ohio State).
Justice Haynes looks like he is banged up and hasn't played at all in the 2nd half. I'm slightly doogin' on that for next week.
 
lots of doogery in this thread. Same kind that thought UW would give Ohio State a game.
I would have given UW a better chance next week if Michigan had beaten SC. Huskies aren’t winning a 9 am game in the big house after Wolverines are humiliated by trooj
cook it

It’s going to be a tough game. A win would be big. Wisconsin playing Michigan fairly close is another sign that Michigan isn’t very good this year. They still have talent and it is a tough road game. It is a very winnable game if we perform well.
 
The negativity is just unfounded in a lot of ways …
This team is where they are supposed to be at this point in the season.
Saying that UW's run defense isn't good is not supported by the data …
UW's run defense on the year is giving up 3.1 yards per carry … that's top 25 in the country going into the day
UW hasn't been gashed on the ground at any point through 6 games with Ohio State averaging 4.4 yards per carry against UW as the high water mark
Rutgers ran for 4.0 yards per carry on Friday but that was all driven by the 51 yard run on the 1st drive … take that out of the equation and UW gave up 56 yards on 26 carries … you'd take that every game
Nobody is claiming that this is an elite defense and there are obvious areas where the talent can be upgraded going forward. But what this defense is doing well outside of its run defense:
  • It's generally not giving up big plays - we're giving up on average about 2 plays a game 20 yards or longer
  • We're doing a good job of keeping teams out of the end zone in the red zone - opposition is scoring TDs at just over 50% of possessions
  • Turnover margin is at +5 through 6 games … with a healthy Davis there is room for this to improve given that we take care of the ball on offense
We're giving up on average just under 20 points per game …
If we continue to do that with what this offense is capable of doing then UW is going to have a chance to win every game remaining on their schedule
 
Both Indiana and Iowa 9am games last year got away from UW after halftime. This team is a full step up better than 2024. I think if they play a clean game they’ve got a great shot. Michigan is similar to Iowa. As someone said, can’t fall behind 10 or 20 to nothing. They’ll shorten the game and you’ll never catch them. I also like that for some reason Michigan doesn’t have a bye. What’s with that?

UW is also fortunate to have an extra day of prep while Michigan has to fly back today from USC. Justice Haynes didn't play the 2nd half and one of their DTs left the game with an ankle injury.
Michigan's best WR is a true frosh (Andrew Marsh, who Kevin Cummings tried to pry away from Michigan), their 2nd WR is kind of 6'5" JAGy type, and their TEs aren't as good as 2023. I only watched about a quarter of the game (in the 2nd half) but was surprised at how middling they looked at all positions other than Andrew Marsh. I am a Justice Haynes believer but he might still be injured.
Of course they were on the road and their fans know they'll need to rally against UW and be ridiculously loud to get the win or else their season will slip further away.
 
We never beat Michigan at the Big House, and I wasn’t planning on it this season, but…..
Michigan sucks. On defense, put Prysock and Taco on islands and stack the box, and win
On offense, don’t wait until the 3rd qtr to get rolling, roll Demond out, screens, Sears and Roebuck and take deep shots to Boston
I actually expect us to win, kinda Doogy but if we’re ever going to win in Ann Harbor, this is a good opportunity.

I think a lot of the negativity is a defense mechanism so people can feign happiness when/if Fisch leaves.

You try being a Husky fan and Raider fan for the last 30 years and tell me the negativity is unfounded. If there's a way for the league or some retarded duck affiliate to fuck the Raiders or Hiskies, it's happening.

Maybe win a game you’re supposed to lose and quit losing games to teams you should beat.

At this point, Fisch has only proven he’s an underachiever.

UW football is not respected as it should be. Fuck the libtarded billionaires in Seattle for not supporting the program. UW should be top 10 every year. Georgia football is in fucking Athens that has almost nothing going for it outside a few bars and bands.

Fisch hasn’t lost any games this year he was supposed to win. He has 2 more chances to win a game he shouldn’t. He recruits well and is a high floor play caller and the players seem to like playing for him. He has handled Demond really well to this point. Im not sure where he’s really underachieved at Washington outside of the applecup and maybe Rutgers last year and the 2024 roster was really bad. not saying he’s the second coming of DJ or anything but there is probably a better than 50/50 chance the next coach is not as good.
