Will Harbaugh's decision to pull punt team off and go on 4th down backfire?

Harbaugh is a pretty conservative coach. He like defense, special teams, and a solid offense. I think he got greedy and it bit him in the but.

His defense may need to bail him out giving the ball to Wash near midfield with 4:30 to go and a 2 TD lead.

I will get back to this question at game's end.

The Washington defender made an outstanding play on that 4th down. Huskies hung around for most of the game. Both defenses played really well. It took a long time, but eventually Washington cracked.

Washington had multiple possessions down 20-13 and couldn’t crack the Michigan defense. As @ivan brunetti said Washington eventually cracked. Their D played really solid after those 2 big runs and kept them in the game but Michigan defense was/is the real deal.

I don't think it was a bad decision to go for it. The Washington defender made a spectacular play on the ball.

After the turnover on downs, Michigan's OC Moore was on the sideline yelling at JJ. I think he wanted JJ to audible to a different play.
