Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies just handed the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines a double digit beating as they took care of business at home in Husky Stadium while hosting the Wolverines. In a tough, physically draining game that was closer than it probably should have been, Fisch and the Huskies came out on top 27-17.
Washington is now 4-2 overall and 2-1 in Big Ten play. Michigan fans are now very, very upset about the whole ordeal.
The Huskies handed Michigan their second loss of the season and effectively ruined any hopes that the Wolverines may have had when it comes to making it to the College Football Playoff this season, barring something bizarre happening.
Michigan’s offense looked flat and uninspiring. There were a few highlights here and there, especially once they made the choice to let Jack Tuttle have a shot at running the offense. But, for the most part, the Wolverines weren’t really able to reliably move the ball up and down the field all that much.
Washington’s defense limited the Wolverines to just 287 yards. Steve Belichick should be proud. Sherrone Moore should be upset. And Michigan Wolverines fans really, really aren’t happy right now.

And generally speaking, it’s fair for Michigan fans to be upset, but boy are they really mad about this one.
The Michigan staff is inept in every single way. https://t.co/uk4wQcMeJV

It was pretty clear to me doing the charting this week but it was firmly on display tonight: Washington has a significantly better coaching staff than Michigan

Michigan fans, right now, are absolutely up in arms over their coaching staff right now. The Wolverines have a lot of talent all over their roster, but they just simply can’t accomplish what they want to accomplish this year.
The coaching staff is on the moon. There’s NOTHING positive about this. This team was grossly mismanaged in the offseason. Play calling is terrible. No senses or feel for the game there’s no method to the offense. Wink is washed. This is bad bad..,

And that means fans will have thoughts on the matter.
It's hard to find a single reason for optimism after that. #GoBlue https://t.co/uhJ3OoFxNk

Total yardage is 418 to 261, Washington.

Some of these stats really, truly rock. Well, maybe not from the perspective of a Michigan fan, but definitely from the perspective of a Washington Huskies fan.

Michigan fans have every right to be upset right now. They’ve got some intriguing potential, but it doesn’t feel like they’ll hit that sort of potential this season. They’re in a bit of a rebuild as well. Just like UW. But at least Washington managed to win this game.
