Michigan edge rusher Braiden McGregor offers his take on the Huskies.
Transcript
00:00 >> I'll ask you that, is there any talk of revenge?
00:01 I mean, he's the only Indiana quarterback since 1987 to beat Michigan.
00:05 Has that been discussed at all this week?
00:07 >> Not really.
00:09 We've talked about it, just how they did win in 2020.
00:12 But most of us that are on the team didn't play him.
00:16 So it's just like, he's a sixth year.
00:19 So I think it's my class and then the fifth and sixth year guys that played him.
00:24 So I actually didn't play him, so this will be my first game against him.
00:27 >> I asked Michael Barrett about it, he was on that one, right?
00:30 >> Yeah, that's Mike.
00:32 >> Hey Brandon, apologies if we've been asking,
00:34 can you talk about Washington's offensive line and what stands out to you?
00:38 >> Yeah, so obviously they're the Joe Moore Award winners.
00:42 We've had that trophy in the building for two years, and
00:46 our offensive line was pretty proud about it.
00:48 And I felt like when they got that trophy the first year,
00:52 it kind of brought something new out in them, and the confidence and all that.
00:56 So we kind of know what we're gonna get with them just off their mindset.
01:00 And I guess, I mean, obviously they're Joe Moore Award winners, so
01:04 it's like we know we gotta bring it to them, we gotta bring it to them quick.
01:08 Cuz if you get them confidence and get them rolling,
01:10 it's just like our own line that just keeps going and
01:13 it's just gonna be hard to stop, so.
01:15 >> Texas wasn't able to sack Michael Pennix Jr.
01:18 a single time, he was comfortable in the pocket.
01:20 Just how important is it for
01:21 this defense to be able to get to Michael Pennix Jr.?
01:23 >> Yeah, I think it's a big key.
01:26 When he's comfortable back there, I think he makes really good plays, but
01:29 we need to get him uncomfortable.
01:30 That's gonna be one of our big type things that we're gonna do.
01:34 And I mean, just cover the guys and get pressure.
01:38 So we can get back there cuz I kinda like how we did against Alabama.
01:42 I think it'll go well for us.
01:44 >> Thank you, Brady.
01:45 >> You're welcome.
01:46 >> If you were to look at the start of the season, would you have ever guessed you'd
01:50 be playing Washington in the championship game?
01:52 They haven't been with the big boys for a while.
01:54 >> Yeah, I wasn't really expecting to play Washington.
01:57 I mean, there's a lot of good teams that could have been here.
02:00 Obviously, we played like Bama, I mean, Georgia.
02:02 They just got left out, they left out the playoffs by two spots, Florida State.
02:08 So it's just kinda like, wow, they really are our 14 and 0.
02:11 They did come through the Pac-12, beat Oregon twice, beat Texas.
02:15 So we know they're a good team.
02:17 We know what to expect, but yeah, I mean, I'm happy for them.
02:20 It's gonna be a good matchup.
