Michigan vs. BYU [open thread]
Devin Gardner spotting on sideline
Did he have a Rose Bowl hat on?
He's come to take all of the INTs from Ruddddock
Go Blue!
Now we find out just how good our secondary is...

Huge game. Let's get it!

Happy to do the honors...let's go get this win!
I'm going to mute the stream now and avoid the rush.
Go Blue! Beat BYU!
Anyone have a link to a reliable live stream for the game? I'm not familiar enough with the different sites to know which of them are legit and which are just phishing.
So question: which RB do you guys think starts the game?
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Smith. That's an easy one.
Isaac by the end of the year.
It's not even a question.
Well the positive due to the pope in Philly is that I get to watch Leonard Fournette run people over on my TV until 1 and I can watch the Michigan game.
espn3. That's what im watching on.
wow, those purple jerseys really look good in the sun today!
ABC thinks it better to listen to Mcshay than hear the band play as Michigan runs out.
Along with the GENERIC THEME MUSIC!!! Nothing fires up everyone like GENERIC THEME MUSIC!!
More swirling winds!
Did Rudock just miss a wide open WR?
Sure did look like it.
These 12 o clock games need to become 330 games... ugh.
A 3-yard pass at the kneecaps. Come on, Rudock.
Winds are in our favor
Good to see
Rudock missed a TD
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
What the fuck? The corner tried to bump, fell down, Chesson was ALL ALONE 20 yards down the field, and Johnny Dumpoff can't see it! Jesus H Christ!
Turnovers and running game is going to determine the game. More pounding today.
Students are crowding so much closer to the field than everyone else. They're packed down further in the section. Everyone goes to their seats and then moves forward (or doesn't even go to their seats in the first place). Love it. go blue!
Poggi looked unathletic on that first pass
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Rudock is the worst
Rough start. Ugly ugly
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Rudock looking like Rudddock early.
A shame, what should have been an easy first play TD is a three and out instead
Rudock ... really
pathetic first series. keep your feet Poggi
He should never be an option.
Ruddock is our best QB and it's not even close per Harbaugh.. Oh shit
Rudock looking like shit again. This is gonna be great.
Well, put it on a loop- Rudock stinks
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Well that was dull
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
He'll force a short pass that's not open rather than hit the wide open guy deep
Wondering about designed rollouts when your QB is struggling with accuracy.
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Unless you put more guys at the LOS
Would love to see some third and shorts for OUR offense
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Well that was quite the awful first read for Rudock. Not sure how you don't at least peak at that route.
He is a terrible qb
Gotta keep em.
Hm. So, I guess they're not calling holding this year.
DEs...get off your fucking blocks.
We need a stop
This is the best pass rush we've had for several years
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
at least our defense is on point.
On fleek
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Great defense.
Did someone bleach the jerseys?
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
They're purple...clearly someone didn't read the label.
BYU's receiver knocked Lewis over and then complained there was no flag.
Lewis is such a beast
Matthews pushes off and Lewis stays right with him.
I was hoping Poggi would have advanced that a few more yards at least - watching BYU attmept to bring him down if he keeps his balance would have been interesting.
It's only been a few plays, but the secondary seems to incrementally improve each week when it comes to just simply being there....actually, being all over when they need to be too.
Poggi would have gained 5-7 yards on that play
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Defense. Offense, not so much
That receiver should have been looking ot get his hands on the ball and not on Lewis' facemask
Ok, come on offense let's knock it down their throats
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
leaves so many points on the field. He just doesn't make plays.
DL is getting pretty good pressure
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Rudock - Get on track man. What are you doing? No turnovers and 200 plus yards passing. Come one
They might get a play or two on us but our secondary is excellent.
d line doesn't give qb time either
True and that's an excellent combo for pass D.
This could be a classic today
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
picks. Mangum winging the ball wildly.
We've been loading up in the middle on offense, looking for gains on the outside soon. Looking for passes over 2 yards, too.
We need to get on top by a couple of TDs. Put pressure on them to sling it.
So not all rugby style kickers are amazing...
Y 0 0 M
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Not for long. M going to score
We're good now.
As per usual. Thank god they're up to the task.
Harbaugh slapping Rudock around to get him hyped up was phenomenal.
And that's what we like to seeeeeee
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Denarius would have scored. I miss denard
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
So Smiths good...again
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
The slowest 31 yard gain in history...and I love it.
Running
Much, much better, Mr. Smith.
Wow... the blocking ate them alive there
Poggi awesome block
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Yeahh buddy!
And blocking
That's exactly what we needed. We need to run all over them and keep the pressure off of Rudock.
There we go deveon
Smith getting the yards! Maybe I spoke too soon.
GO BLUE!!!
Bad rudock

Jeez drake is fast

Rudock. Complete a pass man.
I just don't think Rudock is a very good quarterback, unfortunately.
Block that guy isn't on rudoxk
I see you
Was that 4 offensive linemen and a fullback on the WR screen?
Looked like he was drawn into that guys chest with a magnet
What a goddamn catch.
Nice catch !!!
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
He fucking stinks. At some point we almost have to do something else. MSU and OSU will eat him alive
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Well let's not try that formation again.
WOW AMARA
Holy shit Darboh!!!
That catch was dirty!!!
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Ball skillz!
That is all
Stop throwing the ball on 1st down until they stop the run.
Well holy shit. ESPN top 10 right there.
Murica!
Yep that catch is quality
He gave us a chance
What a grab! Odell Beckham is that you?
That's ODB like right there...

And hello there, Mr. Darboh.
That was Avant-esque.
Darboh! Merica!
ODB DARBOH!!!
AMERICA!!!!!!
Just run the ball down their throats today.
What?!
<-- Even I'm impressed.
Catch. But terrible read. There were a couple wide open dudes right in front of him
Terrible run by drake there
Jesus, what a catch
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
What is Drake looking at!?!?!!! Up the field dude.
Amara!!!!
That was an adjustment on the Isaac TD run play I think
Amazing catch by Darboh, but we needed 5 yards and Rudock could've easily scampered for the yards.
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
What a catch!
Okay, I hate to be this guy, but anyone else notice that our jerseys have like a purplish tint to them??
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
If you're being that guy, you're joining like 8 other "that guys" today.
Welcome to the thread. Next time scan comments before you post.
I figured this would happen. But I'm busy watching the game and seeing as how there are about 5 new comments per 30 seconds at least, I'm bound to miss some
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Who the hell reads all of the comments on a game thread? Watch the game.
Come on Drake. You are better than that.
Our run blocking is poor so far.
Great catch. That was awesome.
BYU knows Rudock isn't very good.
Everyone knows this. 4.4 QBR on passes 15+ yards. Yikes.

Block someone...anyone. Pick a white shirt and hit it in the chest.
Dat catch tho!

We got the Maize right on the uniforms. I didn't realize that we fucked up the Blue in the process.
Amazing play

HARBAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great play

Wow that was some mad scientist shit
That was a brilliant play call
That was straight outta the RichRod playbook.
That was amazing.
What a play design! Harbaugh!
Oh so rudock can identify wide open people
...sometimes. See: 1st play of the game.
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Might only be when that guy is the first option though.
Come on you guys
Nice!!!

Great fucking play
Wow... a positive play with Khalid Hill lol.
Welcome back
Hooooo!!!
Play design!
Fuck them with Harbaugh
Some great play calling on this drive

ole playbook
Great play call. Hoke's mind blown with creativity
So that's not something that Hokian manball has in the playbook.
That was SWEET. If it looks stupid and works, it's not stupid.
What a play call! And good job Rudock. Looking better than last week.
Nice play call
Really would give this team a boost to get an early lead. Better punch this in
QB BALL SKILLZ
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
How about that fake? Decided schematic advantage ;)
Figures we get the Maize right and now the fucking Blue looks slightly Purple.
Why do the Uniformz gods hate us?
It's just the filter on that camera mate.
Look at the Under Armor Rudock is wearing compared to the jersey... they are deff purplish.
actually idc fck it TOUCH DOWN!!
Punch it in
Time to finish a great drive!

That play design and call was awesome getting Hill WIDE open down the middle!
I think I just.... Jizzed in my pants.
Where a rubber next time

Or wear one.

Loving the creativity on offense! WHOOO HARBAUGH!
How can Jake make that throw and miss wide open guys when he has time?
I just cackled with knowing glee
At this point I can't believe Rudddock made that pass.
Byu's scissors just got obliterated by michigan's asteroid
FINISH THEM.
Ugh
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
I gotta believe the Darboh catch and that nice 3rd down conversion are going to be very good for Jake Rudock's confidence going forward.
Goddam
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
That completion to K. Hill was the best play of both the Harbaugh era and Rudock's Michigan career!
Well drawn up, perfectly executed - looking for lots more like it! F*ing great catch by Darboh too!
Come on. Do it.
What the fuck.
How does our center get so many of these?
Dang that is the third one this year from Glasgow
Please still get a td
He has like 5 of those already this year
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Literally the only way to not get a TD on first and goal from the one.
ALSO HOW DOES GLASGOW KEEP FALSE STARTING? HE IS THE GODDAMN CENTER.
Glasgow!!!! Come on man!!!
Sigh
Well that's extremely frustrating. Sure thing to nervous to get a TD here.
Deveon is a beast, let's go
Let us hit them in the mouth.
2nd game with false start by the center. My advice: watch the ball. ?
Rudooooooock
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Lol, Green tried to get into the game
Can't believe he saw that and took the easy TD.
There you go Rudock, first smart decision he's made today
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
That's gotta feel like a slap in the face if you're Green. Go in, nope, come out...Ty, you're in.
Clutch! Nice decision Jake
This is going to be a good game folks!!! Buckle up!
Yeahhhh buddy! You go, son
Competent offense
Nice Play Rudock!!

Best drive from rudock all year

Harbaugh never tries to fool ya?
Exactly
Rudock!
1st...if he didn't run the ball I was going to throw my TV out the window
2nd...I thought he was going to trip over Mags backing up so he didn't get the downfield penalty
I'm literally shaking.
Folks--our coaching staff is simply the best.
Rudock settling in?! Too soon?
Never too soon. Send those good vibes!
Forgot what that's like. Damn this is nice.
Let's go boys!!!
*excellent fake pass* commentator: "Harbaugh never tried to fool ya." Whatever haha. TOUCHDOWN BLUE.
Cheerleader face .gif
TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well if he can't throw the ball, might as well run it in. I'll take it!
His first at Michigan

Defense rested. Ready to go. Come on D. Get a turnover and score.
Harbaugh's pulling out the stops. This pleases me.
just what rudock hopefully needed to settle down the rest of the game
Anyone just see the LSU play? Say whaatttt
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
dang great coverage on the kick off
WAY to stay in your lane...he doesn't make the tackle but HE made that play by staying in his lane and forcing a cutback that wasn't there. GREAT job.
I'm going to be watching the .gif of that Darboh one-handed catch all week
I can haz pick 6?
Lol at the BYU cheerleaders on the darboh replay. Jaws on the floor. Mine was too, to be fair.
A return that dies go 40 yards? I'm confused
...I mean
We can haz nice things?
Stupid.
Bolden -9
That was close
What the heck happened there
Pass d muy Bueno, linebackers muy malos
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Ah well
Please put in Ross. Get Bolden out
Just a good block by someone bigger than both of them.
Needed a safety to clean up the edge.
That was obvious
On Darboh's catch, the BYU cheerleader couldn't believe the catch. lol.
Does it occur to anyone that some of those offensive plays were held in reserve last week? Maybe a little evidence to support that conspiracy theory on that last drive.
It's showing that how far they go depends on QB play.
even from my tablet on espn3 watching you can tell the energy from the crowd is just thrilled to see real football finally
Best sounds of the game - when ABC screwed up their sideline reporter bit and nobody talked for fifteen seconds.
Needs to be giffed
"Jim Harbaugh is not looking to fool you with this offense. He wants to just line up and overpower you."
I guess it's cool that some people are fooled, but these are supposed to be experts.
Unnecessary flag there
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Terrible, terrible call. That was in no way catchable.
Between ref and harbaugh reminded me of Chris Kattan and will ferrel in Roxbury
Oh, Jesus God. That's an awful PI call.
Fuck that flag
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Weak
BOOOOOOOOOOOO
Terrible flag from THAT ref... that's the side judge's call. Bullshit.
Thats a late flag
Wait...PI? Was that ball even catchable?
