Thank god we have a kicker who is straight money. Otherwise it’s same story new week.

Offense that just shrivels up and dies in the red zone.

It's only one of the worst in the country. You need to lower your standards.

Was fine. Would have been a decent gain if okorn didn't throw it 4 ft high and take dpj off his feet to catch it

That would've been a good 1st down play call in the red zone, instead of the obvious 3rd and long call.

Is Higdon a senior?

It's clear to me that Higdon is our best back and it's not really close.

Good to know we are sticking with the 9 RB rotation...

otherwise he would have had a decent shot at that catch.

cut the ish about high throws. indiana first completion was high and the receiver went up and got it. we just don't have receivers that can do that outside of maybe TB

Thought that last throw was pretty solid. I hate this colour guy...

Million play drive for a field goal. Remind anyone of anything? You telling me Peters cant hit the same basic throws? And miss a wide open DPJ that anyone on thos forum could hit that wide open?

It seems like we're not that far from being a good offense, if we can just figure it out in the redzone...

Problem is a lack of homerun threats. Feels like we are focused on barely moving the chains until we get in FG range.

I think Evans should be involved in the pass game. He is not a between the tackles runner.

Michigan excels at 13-16 play drives that yield 3 pts.

We have multiple TE’s and WR’s well over 6’3” and we just fail to let them try to make plays in the end zone. I... don’t... get it?!?!

I really think we miss Tyrone Wheatley (fumbles) and Jedd Fisch (passing play calls).

Pep Hamilton's passing game call are absolute dog shit half the time. And our RBs have the fumbleitis they didn't have last year.

Harbaugh needs to take over all playcalling in the redzone. Run on FIRST down, pass on SECOND down. Stop running on 2nd and long in the redzone - it never works!

Great pass from O'korn to Perry... Perry mistimed his jump.

And still had it go right through his hands. Had the big play go through his hands last week too on a 3rd down.

Well, I wasn't wanting to drink but after seeing the 1st drive resemble last weeks, I'm drinking!

4 RBs is a horrible strategy. None of these guys can not build momentum. Let 1 RB take a whole series except maybe a 3 and long then go situational which would probably be Higdon

I think Higdon would be the go to guy right now. He seems to be the only one that can consistently get yards.
