First, some caveats:
-Our offense needs more than one year to come together, especially when the two primary QBs are freshmen.
-When is it going to stop raining?
-Boneheaded plays are not always the fault of coaches. Sometimes, a stupid play is just a stupid play.
Now for some way-too-soon, probably overly pessimistic, and vaguely angry thoughts:
-Rodriguez's historical second year turn around may not apply in the Big Ten. I know, I know, he had lesser talent on his other teams, but this specific Michigan team looks lost 75% of the time. It may be a lot easier when you're playing far worse teams than PSU, Ohio State, MSU, Wisco, and Iowa.
-The offense is always one or two plays from being in the thick of things. Think about how drastically different this game may have been without those two Koger drops. Drops, broken routes, and freshman mistakes may be the very definition of this team.
-This defense is bad. We're talking really bad. And yes, part of the problem is talent. But I wish that was the only problem. We all have to admit that Robinson's play calling has been less than desirable. Yes, walk-on-safety, no corner depth, no line depth admitted, but at some point during that wonderful TE-covered-by-Ezeh pass play, didn't you kind of wonder what play was given to the defense?
At some point, we may have to finally look at what "Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician" said:
"First one to a Champs Sports Bowl wins!"
I wonder if they maybe knew something we didn't know.
-I'm terrified of the post-Zoltan era.
-I feel for all the recent alums that made the trip back for this game. What an embarrassment in terms of football. Now, for those that graduated this last year, it may have given off the warm and fuzzys of their senior year, but still, what a yech performance.
