Its a game. Now we'll see if the NW defense can come up with a stand or two.
Edit: doesnt look like it.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
Get a TO Cats
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
NW pass D can’t do anything!
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:13 PM ^
Alabama is a really talented team, but they seem to get zero penalties. Face mask? No problem. Defensive PI? Ok.
Their DL looks great.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:14 PM ^
NW needs a stop here to force a FG. It looks like ND can run the clock nearly out if they pick up a 1st down.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:15 PM ^
3-4 here is the game. I just wanna see NW get ball back with shot. From there, whatever.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
Notre Dame might be for real a little bit.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
Honestly wish we called offensive plays like they do.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:21 PM ^
Yeah they look like plays we could easily run with our personnel. Just a better mix of throwing on early downs instead of just obvious passing downs. It then opens up the running game. You can't just crash your linebackers into the line every play.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:23 PM ^
Feel like we only pass on 1st with play action. Just like the way they mix it up better than we do.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
NW defense, yuck.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
I hate ND! Love to see them again, but doubtful unless title game. If both made it, more than likely opposite games.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
Damn Cats
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
Damn Cats
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
LSU just doesn't look good on offense
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
Hey, ND, that zone read arc keeper is ours. Get away from it.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:23 PM ^
First football I'm seeing for the day and I see that play by ND. Hate it. Stop copying Michigan stuff you purple faced douche. I hate ND. Why are they this good ? Why do kids play for this asshole ?
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:20 PM ^
Darn, Northwestern. Well played game. ND is legit
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:22 PM ^
Worst I’ve seen Bama look. LSU is garbage on offense and Michigan’s defense is quite a bit better.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:29 PM ^
They are still squeezing the life out of LSU. Which is good for us. Get LSU out of the top 5. They are pretenders.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
Notre Dame is a "good loss" for us. It keeps us ahead of any other 1-loss team for the CFP.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:31 PM ^
Yeah, but if they stumble, we take their spot. It’s a win-win.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:49 PM ^
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:38 PM ^
I hope. They did beat us, and they looked better against a common opponent in Northwestern.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
DPJ and Jerry Jeudy have such similar running /juking styles.
Tua with the big run...maybe a lingering knee injury.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:31 PM ^
We're in if we win out, I want ND to lose too, so we aren't the 4th seed. It'll be more fun for us to expose Clemson as the first actual defense they've played all year.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:49 PM ^
As long as Georgia doesn't win the sec, we're fine. (Assuming we win out of course)
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:39 PM ^
Tua don't look that great to me. Alabama is pass happy and that's not a winning formula against our defense
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:43 PM ^
LSU's offense is pretty trash. I knew that before, but damn.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:44 PM ^
Watching Orgeron clap through LSU getting throttled...
He really is the Cajun Brady Hoke isn't he?
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:48 PM ^
Big 12 football is just weird. They resolutely refuse to cover people, and tackling is optional. Really frustrating to watch.
That said, the end of the WV-Texas game was BadAss.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:52 PM ^
Dana Holgorson is a madman!
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:59 PM ^
That's because Big 12 are full of innovative offensive minded coaches with Air Raid, Baylor offense, etc.
See Oklahoma put up 48 points against a vaunted UGA defense last year. Do you think Big 12 doesn't play defense? UGA defense finished 4th in FEI and 11th in S&P. Oklahoma scored on them like it was nothing because their scheme is great and have talented players on offense including the #1 overall pick, Baker Mayfield.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
I figured LSU's offense wasn't all that, but I'm not sure if their offense is this bad, or if Bama's defense is this good. I think a little of both, shaded towards Bama's D. In either case, I still wonder what Bama would do in a 4 quarter dogfight against a real defense that has an actual offense behind it.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure that Michigan's janky pass game and dull play calling is ready, yet. Can't run into a box against these guys...
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:53 PM ^
Yea I don't trust Pep Hamitlon agaisnt this this type of defense. We have the guys. We can't utilize them for shit it seems.
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:01 PM ^
Bama has dismantled any pro style offense for a decade. We’d need to completely revamp our attack for that game
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:53 PM ^
how about smu beating houston. that can only help us in some sort of way maybe
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:55 PM ^
Edit: this game still going, a delay is occurring...Houston only down 7
A rational person would think so but I'm not 100% sure the 2018 CFP committee is...all that rational.
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:00 PM ^
true. this is the committee that thinks the acc is a good conference this year.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:55 PM ^
Down 22-0 in the 4th and LSU tries for a FG. Is Orgeron related to Franklin?
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
I don't know if that missed FG is funny, or sad. Not sure if I should feel sorry for LSU getting drubbed at home, or LMAO at it...
I'm so confused!
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:57 PM ^
LSU missing that field goal is cosmic justice for attempting it in the first place.
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:00 PM ^
If you are on of those people who believe a 1 loss Michigan isn’t a shoe in for the playoff today was a pretty mediocre day. Wvu bearing Texas gives Oklahoma a top 10 win and Iowa and nw losing means Michigan would be playing a potentially 7-5 team in the championship game so no chance to impress in that game
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:08 PM ^
OTOH LSU is finished, the “strong” non-elite SEC teams mostly faceplanted, Oklahoma looks offensively strong and defensively embarrassing against TT, and the PAC 12 continues to embrace mediocrity.
Danielson’s ridiculous “Alabama is just playing for seeding in the SEC Championship” comment aside, Michigan’s doing fine. Especially since the committee seems focused on wins over teams with winning records and Michigan is in good shape there.
November 5th, 2018 at 8:51 AM ^
Typical of you to look on the negative side.
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:03 PM ^
Shit, that's SEC recruiting, alright. I wonder how much the bag men paid for that walk?
