Jake Money Moody, meet Tommy Dough 🤑Man 💵💰
November 18th, 2023 at 4:01 PM ^
Two INT's
A scoop and score
Two safties!
And the biggest play of the game for us was a punt
Game balls for Tommy, Mikey, and the G-men Graham & Grant
(edit) Oh and Blake of course
November 18th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
Doman should get credit for the second safety
November 18th, 2023 at 4:33 PM ^
And Bovin for the first.
Plus I couldn't figure out what they were doing with their kickoffs. Wind was that crazy? We seemed to handle it.
November 19th, 2023 at 1:29 AM ^
No, they watched the BGSU game and decided to try the same stuff. When it didn’t work, they kicked normally.
BTW, the “oops, the ball fell off the tee” thing was complete BS. It most certainly did not — it was clear on the replay.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:01 PM ^
Uncle T?
November 18th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
It seems Moore has too much on his plate with HC, OC, and OL. Not that he can't do it, but its obvious he is stretched too thin and it shows.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
agree, that’s why I was secretly hoping JayBaugh would be interim so the OC/DC can concentrate.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:15 PM ^
I would love for Jack Harbaugh to be the coach for one game.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
It's clear he can't do it.
November 18th, 2023 at 6:29 PM ^
If JJ's connecting this is a comfortable game and we're calling Moore masterful.
At least, if we're not predisposed to dissing him.
November 19th, 2023 at 9:05 AM ^
The 3 games coached by Moore have been JJs worst/least productive of the season (Bowling Green, Penn State, Maryland). Maybe Moore doesn’t have time, or isn’t as good at, the “get JJ right” stuff that Harbaugh normally does.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:12 PM ^
What about Jack or Rick? Obviously there’s jay too
November 19th, 2023 at 9:07 AM ^
This is what I came here to post. Coach Hart should be the interim...HC and RB duties are much more doable.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
Going off today, I am going to have a very hard time finding any path to victory next weekend.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:50 PM ^
What about if we score more points than them
November 18th, 2023 at 3:51 PM ^
I said the exact same thing 1 year ago.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:54 PM ^
Dude, gimme a break. Tough situation today but they persevered. Defense was tough when it needed to be. Besides, it’ll be cold. We know how that goes.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:04 PM ^
If anybody likes next week after today they watched a different game than I did.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
Were you full of confidence after our 19-17 slugfest against Illinois last year?
November 18th, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
That's a GREAT point. Thanks for helping me neutralize my bpone after today!
November 18th, 2023 at 4:20 PM ^
Yes. We saw a gritty team that took care of business and made plays when they needed it. We saw a team that overcame all adversity and still won. I have seen UM teams on top of their game lose but to OSU. I have also seen a UM that has a clunker and destroy OSU the next week.
It will be a different game next week. Watch.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:03 PM ^
Even if you based it solely on today, there's many paths to UM winning.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:21 PM ^
Ohio State hasn't looked like world beaters against merely decent teams, so don't give them credit that is undeserved.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:34 PM ^
I'm sure you said the same thing after illinois last year.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:52 PM ^
We also lost Corum and Morris in the ill game last year, so confidence was not high going into osu on the road.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:11 PM ^
You could say the same thing about any team this year, every one of them has had a bad game. Sometimes, it means they are not very good—e.g., SC and its continually-torched defense. Sometimes, it means they only had a bad game—e.g., Georgia, which bounced back and trounced a bunch of teams afterwards.
November 18th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
I watched the entire game, and I'm sort of mystified by how close it was because it seems like we played them really well except for a couple of drives. (Not 24 points worth). Our defense/special teams had two safeties a scoop and score and two INTs and yet MD got a lot of yards.
My hope is that immobile Honda McCord + Mazerati Marv & friends < Mobile Talia + MD WRs. Our defensive line had Talia dead to rights a few times and it would have been more if he wasn't so mobile.
Paranoid about our tackle situation. Hopefully everyone is healthy next week.
November 18th, 2023 at 8:07 PM ^
Past 2 games for Barnhart. Need to game plan around him and more playaction pass. Slows the rush and sucks up the second level. Can't be so predictable with formation and play-calling.
This seemed like an al Borges type game. The play calling was very discombobulated but if JJ doesn't throw the pick and hits CJ totally different game.

Overreact much, ont?
Geez, we've had ONE game all year where we didn't dominate our opponent, and frankly we were thisclose to blowing these guys out.
Even before all this crap happened this game was circled as a trap. It's fine, we won. All is well.
My gosh, we're 11-0. So are they (probably). Should be a helluva game - and I'll be there!
Go Blue, beat the damn Bucks!
November 18th, 2023 at 7:52 PM ^
How many games this year has OSU looked like this? I'd be hesitant to translate a Maryland performance, that was really an inconsequential game to achieve their goals, to anything they have planned for OSU. It's a home game at that. Take a deep breath and pour yourself a stiff drink
November 18th, 2023 at 8:30 PM ^
OSU Maryland was a 3 point game after 3 quarters
November 18th, 2023 at 8:44 PM ^
Some Michigan fans are not happy unless they are miserable. You sound just like them. Enjoy your week of happy misery, because you won't have a chance to be miserable after 11/25 (M won't dare lose on my birthday).
November 18th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
It's almost impossible to lose when you record two safeties!
November 19th, 2023 at 1:32 AM ^
PSU managed it in 2004.
It blows my mind that there was a 6-4 game involving Iowa where one team had two safeties, and it wasn’t Iowa.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
Extremely concerning. Sherrone has been way too conservative.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:54 PM ^
All those 4th down calls, yeah
November 18th, 2023 at 4:05 PM ^
He makes Lloyd Carr look like Mike Leach
Our tackles are way behind the last 2 years.
Our DEs are fine against inept B10 offenses - they do not get home vs any offense with a QB who may play in the CFL.
Aside defensive tackles and offensive guards, both lines are a concern vs elite teams. I don't know how elite OSU lines are but Georgia and Bama are not teams our lines (aside the defensive tackles) will compete with.
JJ was very disappointing today - maybe he needs JH more than we thought.
Running down on 8 yard boxes on every 1st down all next Saturday is going to be so much fun.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:15 PM ^
they do not get home vs any offense with a QB who may play in the CFL
Where do you get this? was there a game where we didn't get pressure? cause today we had two safeties lol
November 19th, 2023 at 1:34 AM ^
LOL, this is an amazingly bad take.
When they tried to put pressure on Taulia, he was running for his life. They normally didn’t do that, though, because he’s often at his most dangerous when he breaks the pocket.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:06 PM ^
threw it like 6 or 7x in a row in the 2 minute drill, ok boss.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
Unpopular opinion: Moore called a good game, the offense didn’t execute. The JJ/CJ bomb that was incomplete, Barnhart being a turnstile on pass plays, guys like Loveland dropping passes. Doesn’t help Hinton, Henderson, and Roman were out but the offense didn’t help out Moore.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
Most worried about Barnhart and our injured tackles. He’s a liability.
I think if that gets resolved we can play our game and be successful.
November 18th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
I don't think it's unpopular I think it's true. Just win. We don't need style points
November 18th, 2023 at 4:07 PM ^
He ran into stacked boxes on 1st and 2nd downs all day. And then when behind the sticks put JJ into the worst passing down situations. It was bad. 30 runs in a row was bad last week too (Allar being terrible helped).
MANY bad play calls today from Moore. MANY. Here is just one: 3d and three with game still close. 25 yard pass incomplete. Then went for it on 4th and 3. Well, if you were going to go for it on 4th down, dialing up a 25 yard pass on 3rd down is... irresponsible.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:50 PM ^
Yeah I was at the game and the Michigan section was losing it with the run calls. Guys who think getting 20 points and 300 yards against that team, including a 4th down conversion on interference, are putting their heads in the sand.
November 19th, 2023 at 1:35 AM ^
If you’re planning to go for it on 4th and 3, dialing up a 25-yard pass on 3rd down is exactly what you want to do — take your shot, knowing you have another chance if you miss it.
If you were planning to punt, it’s a bad play.
November 18th, 2023 at 4:08 PM ^
JJ forced a lot of bad passes today, the final score could have been a larger margin.
