On to BGSU

My hope is that the team comes out and shows us that this week was a fluke.

We know, based on RR's post game comments, that the boys are going to be paying for that poor performance in practice this week. 

I hope they are motivated by everyone saying they are bad now and just tear BG apart.

That being said, an efficient pass-happy team is not a good thing for our defense. 

But I'll go ahead and say that we are going to play much better and win easily.

Before the UMass game, I was telling myself that I would much rather be playing a MAC team because the team would be less likely to have a let down. 

Well now we have that MAC team, and I say we step it up!

I watched most of the first half.  The starting QB looked sharp.  They also run quick hitting run plays opened up by the pass (sorta like UMASS).   Anyone see if he got hurt?  AS OP mentioned, some other kid played part of the second half. 

I attended both the Michigan game and the Bowling Green game (where I am a student) and can honestly say UMass is better than Bowling Green. The Falcons lost their biggest offensive weapons in their quarterback Tyler Sheehan and wide reciever Freddie Barnes. While Willie Geter is no slouch at running back, their offensive line is not as impressive as the UMass one.

But we won that usually doesn't happen.I think we will play better defense this week.But we made another key play on defense when we needed it.38-10 is my early prediction,Go Michigan!!!

What the hell is Marshall's deal?  Smashed by OSU (understandable), should've beaten WVU (shouldn't have blown their lead, but the officials really helped with that), and just got (apparently only sort of) smoked by BGSU.  What a confusing and seemingly wildly inconsistent team.

We have to be louder for BGSU than it was today. I don't care if it's a MAC team, the d needs all the help it can get and we were not loud today at all.

Nice to not see "Michigan upset by UMass" on the lead on ESPN.  It is also nice to feel good about a win, even if it "should have" been by more.

Howeva, it was disappointing to see that UConn lost to Temple.  I knew Temple was good, but this is making me think UConn is not nearly as good as we may have expected.

I was disappointed, but not surprised. You know, this team doesn't have a great defense, no matter the opponent. We won, as we had to do to meet everyone's preseason expectations for this team. BGSU is another win we have to have, and I think we have a good chance to get it. ND-MSU showed that the MSU game should be a real test, as we all expected. Not much has changed for me except 3-0 feels sweet. We could be 1-2 right now! Celebrate!

I think this board shows more perspective than most other spots on the tubes. Some people are always going to overreact. I wonder if those sorts of people walk around all day shouting out the names of the things they see.

It's time for this team to get real.  The offense will score there 45 + points and I think the defense will be more motivated to play better. 49-24 seems like a good predication for me.

I've been debating if this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLgdmGkAUz0 or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L53gjP-TtGE&ob=av2n is a better song for each of these wins (the Kanye song obviously being Denard's theme music).

But yeah... On to the Next One.

I don't see a blowout just a win.  The defense isn't experienced and dominate enough to allow for a huge win.  I celebrated more this week than last week and will celebrate more each time we get a victory.  I'm savoring every win this year.  I love this team!

...was until recently in the MAC...

at MAC opponent etc, etc.

...probably shouldn't apply to them.
