Michigan At Ohio State (Open Thread)

now comes the blowout

The prevent defense prevents wins.

That was a huge failure. Can't let that shit happen.

nice work Hoke. Punt with 15 seconds on the play clock and watch them score with 7 seconds left in the half. If you want to know why you must be fired, read no further.

Has favorite sons. Bad Dad.

1000+ first half posts. Not bad.

Yeah let's keep Greg Mattison you guys! Except his asshole puckers when the game is on the line every fucking time. Have you ever heard of a blitz?

Whole half flipped on that holding call. Killed our momentum , gave ohio the ball at the end.

Is the kiss of death. Always rush at least 4...fuck.

In the last two minutes if halves in abominable. Almost seems like dropping 8 and generating no pass rush is a bad idea. But maybe it will finally work next time

right before the half of every MFing game in the Hoke era?

Let the record reflect that if we didn't give them an extra 18 second by snapping early on the punt . . .

This is why Hoke goes. There is no desire to do the little things to push every angle. You take all the time off the clock before punting because it is to your advantage. Instead, you don't properly instruct the players and you get scored on. He missed because he doesn't look for things like that. Difference between mediocre and great.

I would love to ask a d coordinator someday if they've ever, in the entire history of the game, EVER seen a prevent defense prevent ANYTHING.  And yet, like dumb-ass lemmings marching to their death, they ALL FUCKING CALL IT.  I swear to fucking God d coordinators must take an oath or something that pledges them to the prevent defense when under two mintues to play.  

 

Three Man Rush NEVER works

Hate that 3 man rush!

But abysmal end. OSU scoring there was huge for them.

Is something wrong with Gardner's arm? 

3 years ago, throwing deep bombs with tight spirals. Today, even outs and slants are limp loops. Guys wide open deep, but everything has come up WAY short.

Shocker, Mattison's defense allows another end-of-half score. 

Illini leading NW 26-7

Games where UM did not give up a score in the final 2:00: 5-0

Games where UM did give up a score in the final 2:00: 0-6

Just like last year. We have the ball with 4 minutes left, and all we have to do is not give them the ball back AND let them score a touchdown. This team has flashes of brilliance, but under Brady's leadership, will continue to fail to do many of the things you need to do to win.

Purdue leads Indiana 6-0

Is there a record for most TD drives given up as the half ends? I think we are contenders.
