Michigan-Oregon State highlights (WH style)

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

It's back. 

Had a blast doing this one. I couldn't wait to dive into it. I actually finished it last night and had ready for upload this morning which is different from what I've done in the past.

All scoring drives are included as usual. 

Enjoy!

could easily have beeen 42-45-7.

Quite a bit more impressed with Smith after watching again. He's shiftier than we're giving him credit for. And Rudock is completely okay. One early long throw made clear he can get it downfield; we will need him to connect, but at least the threat is real.

of 3 football games the 4 oldest sons were playing (in 3 cities, at 3 different times) so we all just watched your excellent highlight reel.  thank you very much for posting it.

Been so long since I've seen Michigan do some power running. Been so long since I've seen second and third efforts by RBs & receivers. BTW, when was the last time Michigan won a college football game? That's part of it too.

"Had a blast doing this one."

I know what you mean. It actually felt like Michigan football again for the first time since probably 2006. Personally I'd rather watch a bunch of moderately-talented players be well-coached and eek out 8 or 9 wins than watch a bunch of super-talented players underachieve and end up with 2 losses.

Just finished watching this...there is alot of value in re-watching this in compressed form.

Takeaways

-Lots of second effort by many players

-Jabril Peppers is everything he was billed at...smart, fast, strong & getting better

-Playing OSU & UNLV will give these kids a chance to SEE what they are capable of and really appreciate the sheer brutality the JH system is on opposing teams...beating down these 2 teams will make them believe it's possible for BYU & the B1G teams they face

-This doesn't even look like the 2014 team

-Offensive line seems to feed off the running game and they are definitely having their "vision" of how to create holes instilled

-Michigan defense seems to adjust well after the first drive or two with a small learning curve.  Coaching staff has really done a great job here

-Kicking looks good (early in the season I know)

-Special teams looks VERY aggressive.  Opposing punters have alot to fear....Michigan's speed in getting to the punter is faster than I recall seeing in forever

-Rudock seems to be getting more confident & is very multi dimensional.  Does smart things when he has to make snap decisions most of the time

The biggest thing I was struck with though was how much OSU's defense was just beat down by the end of the game.  Their defensive front seemed like it was lining up with real reluctance in the fourth quarter.

Been a long time since I wanted to re-watch MIchigan highlights!  Oh and can we blacklist the officiating refs?  They were HORRIBLE

I forgot had bad the refs were. We coulda hung around fifty on this Oregon St. team. Credit to Harbaugh for the obvious improvements.
