The eruption of the crowd was just spine tingling! 3. #37 (I think he's the TE) for UW was incredible on that play. He's the one that made the tackle at the end, but he chased Sainristil down from where the ball was intercepted. That was also a beautiful football play 👍👊💪

This ia a great national championship game! Hats off to Washington with Michael Penix and Coach Deboer for a great season. Third time the charm for Michigan with Jim Harbaugh, Blake Corum, Roman Wilson, JJ McCarthy, and others. Mike Sainristil, the man himself. Coming all the over from Everett, MA to make history with Michigan! A great day to be rooting for the Maize and Blue

After the throw, Penix took the right angle and was the only guy to get in front of Sainristil to slow him down so he could get tackled. Would have loved to see Mikey truck through the QB to get in the end zone. I’ll take it though!

Mikey has made play after play after play for the Wolverines. First few years catching touchdowns now stopping them. Great job.

i want to underline the dedication of nb 37 Jack Westover on that play.

Washington did not belong. This same team was 1.5 point underdogs to lowly Oregon State toward the end of the season. Washington got here because they played two teams that play awful defense. Tonight, they ran into a freight train. Michigan is the first national champion I remember as a kid, and I've always liked them, mostly because they've always been on TV. J.J. McCarthy is one of the great winners in college football history. When the game was close, he found a way.

I loved seeing this from multiple angles and the different calls. Loved Doug Karsch and Jon Jansen starting at 2:14 Doug's raspy voice is unusual for a big time broadcaster as they normally go with "clean" voices, and Jansen (former Wolverine) actually has a great radio voice and his comment makes him come across as kinda "dopey funny."

MIKEY HE LIKES IT

Nice!!!!!

As a Michigan fan, and even though i know it wound up not mattering, im still bothered we never touched #37 of Washington. Had we even knocked him sideways a bit, it would've been a pick six easily.

Its great to be a Michigan Wolverines we are some jolly good fellas

While Mike was in the right spot, lots of credit again to the Michigan pass rush. As with Ohio State, Jalen Harrell is in the QB‘s face, forcing him to throw much earlier than they wanted on this play. Pressure up front forces an error.

Seeing this play multiple times, it is clear there were a coupleof Michigan guys who could have blocked Westover back around the Washington 35-yd line, but never looked behind them or didn't think Westover had a chance to catch up to Sanristil. I sure wish that block whould have happened. Sanristil deserved the extra attention a pick six would have brought him.
