Michigan Monday is up

....nor the sniffles. 

Tl;dr

And what he (and others) aren't saying is that its very fixable problem. Gotta self scout a little more in that area of the game and change some play calls.

Ohio State being butter soft is not fixable. They cant run the ball when they need to and they are hell bent on doing so because Harbaugh and Gattis bruised Ryan Day's ego when they called Ohio State soft. OSU's O-line and tight ends cant run block for shit and their wide receivers refuse to block for screens or downfield (Julian Fleming in particular was pathetic on Saturday).

Its the same finesse team as last year, which is completely fine in this era of college football except Ryan Day wont embrace it. He's going to pretend his team is tough while getting 2 yards per carry until they are in dogfight at which point he'll go full finesse with his fantastic wide receivers. Michigan will be able to stay in the game on Nov 26th.

Tongue in cheek. Hence “2017, not 2018” 

We ran the pepcat throughout 2016. The assumption/theory/narrative on here was that he would open up the pepcat against osu. Maybe have jabrill throw out of it or something. That never happened.

I used that precedent to highlight the point that what we see today is what we’ll see in Columbus 

The red zone is compressed vertically, not side-to-side. Bunch formations can be effective anywhere on the field. 

You know, one of the things that makes MGoBlog special is the fact that many of the commenters here can string together words into coherent collections called "sentences," which are then organized into structures known as "paragraphs," in order to attempt to convey something called an "idea."

People aren't pasting in chapters from War and Peace here.  It took you longer to complain about the length than it would have taken to read through it to see if the commenter had anything useful to say.  If you don't want to read more than five words at a time, four of them misspelled, try MLive.  Or RCMB.

No, it definitely did not.  Felt like Tony was trying to shift a narrative but ended up projecting too much of his Buckeye culture onto the joke. 

This is not a video game. Can you imagine two deep balls results in pick six against MSU? 

It is not like JJ suddenly forgot how to throw. He just threw for 300 yards two games ago when IU stacked the box. 

Against OSU, all plays are game. I think they are going to pass more in the next few games. RZ issue is something we had last year. They figured out what works. They will find a way to do this. 

This is the week to get the downfield shots going.

JJ doesn't need to connect on 50 yard moon balls if the recievers aren't getting behind the defense enough, but with that howitzer of an arm, he can easily connect on 30 yard frozen ropes up the seam, on slants and crossing patterns. 

I'd like to see that more, specifically throwing it over the LBs while looking off the safeties as they start to crowd the line. We don't need "bombs" to have a solid downfield pass game, specifically with our run threat and rpo potential.

they were playing two high safety stubbornly all game. They dared us to run on them, guess what we did? We pounded the fucking rock down their arrogant throats. That's what this team is, show us your weakness and we will exploit it over and over again.

And that goes for qb play too. Show us single high press man, won't matter. Someone will get separation, will have the mismatch or both, and McCarthy has already shown he can read it. That's the error general fans are making right now. McCarthy has already shown what he is, but since it wasn't 400 yds with 5 tds there's uncertainty still. 

I don't agree that he's been more inaccurate lately. The difference between 80% to 70% and 70% to 60% is huge, and he shows no signs of approaching 60. If you're looking for a big performance, just wait for it. But he's already there.

Henderson is a really good player and makes their secondary a lot better.
