Bright Spot: Special teams

As pooptastic as the defense was today, and although Olesnavage missed that XP, Special Teams wasn't terrible today and you guys shouldn't be complaining.

Positives:
-Mesko was fantastic, especially with the 61 yarder
-Olesnavage made a 51 yarder and narrowly missed a 48 yarder
-No dropped punts
-Hemmingway's punt return
-Stonum had not one, but TWO 54 yard returns. This season, he surpassed Steve freaking Breaston in yards(granted, the defense has given him plenty of kick off returns). I don't think Stonum was stopped behind the 20 once today
-Close to blocking another punt (which would make four straight games)

So as troubled as this team is, they're solid on special teams. The onside kick was a lapse, as was the fucking ridiculous delay of game call on 4th &2 late (blame that on the coaches). But stop bitching about a solid unit where Michigan has been average (if even) for the last decade.

whatev, dawg

We turned the ball over on downs. We could have had more time on our last drive if we just coughed the ball up right there.

What the hell we lose the game bc we cant kick an extra point and we give up an onside kick. Those seemed to outweigh the positives to me.

the game today.

missed xp, unaware onside kick, not being able to execute our own onside kick, and completely botching a punt return that would give us the ball at midfield saved only by a horrendous penalty.

This is what bad teams do, they aren't sound in the special teams and Michigan was not sound in the special teams game today.

Anything good they did today was outweighed by the simple missed xp and onside kick.

Your kidding, right? As bad as the Defense played, Special Teams was quite responsible for this loss.
