Stop turning the ball over.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
Exactly. MTSU has scored on 2 short drives. Otherwise they are being blown out.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:18 PM ^
Not being snarky....but how is our offense different other than no fullback?
August 31st, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
I think it's all shotgun and seems like more downfield throws. IDK? Just what I see.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
I guess I was expecting tempo. Still feels like I could read two pages of a dictionary in between plays. There is no huddle, but waiting for them to just pressure with tempo.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
Agreed. Doesn't seem like we are in any hurry does it? What advantage does not huddling have if you aren't going to push the tempo? Honest question.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
I agree about tempo.
We don't huddle but it takes just as long as before to signal the play in.
Plus, there's the stupid RR hand clap.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:21 PM ^
Well we’re using our WRs for one.
We would have probably thrown the ball a total of 5 times if this was HarbPep
August 31st, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
LOL. That is true! How quickly I forgot "Run, Run, Pass" for 90% of the game.
August 31st, 2019 at 10:01 PM ^
Also we’re using motion more effectively, have thrown a slant, screen, and downfield routes. Execution is mediocre and I wish we had real TE.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
197 passing yards in one half, for starters.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:19 PM ^
Couldn’t wait to rinse that shit show outta my mouth.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:19 PM ^
That was.....interesting
August 31st, 2019 at 9:19 PM ^
I can safely say that I’ve seen some of the best offense Michigan has ever played simultaneously mixed with some of the DUMBEST SHIT I’ve ever seen any football team do (Caff as WR ala Tommy Stevens at PSU, spiking the ball instead of a t/o, Lavert fielding punts when you have Giles Jackson and Mike Sainristil)
what the fuck indeed.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
Please add spiking the ball while pocketing 2 timeouts to your list.
Sorry - it was on your list. I’m so F’ing confused and perturbed that now I can’t read good.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
That D-Caf play was so horribly telegraphed. It was like slow motion. Ridiculously stupid.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
PSA - don't be afraid to let the fucking expletives fly so LSA has something to do with his thread analysis this week
August 31st, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck shit shit
And fuck Staee and OSU. And hahahahaha Tennessee
August 31st, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
The offense is new and still in process of hitting its stride.
Tru Wilson ha d a cool blitz pick up on the TD.
Great TD catch by Nico Collins.
Cornelius Johnson doesn't look like a freshman at all.
The revelation of Ambry Thomas!
Defense needs more of a consistent surge in the middle of the line.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
DTs are Kemp and Mason. That’s it.
Dwumfour apparently hurt. Jeter I’m street clothes. No Hinton or Mazi at all.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Again... what the fuck is Michigan doing in practice?
Why are all our players ALWAYS DINGED UP????
August 31st, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
We should probably start using the same supplements as Bama and Clemson.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:21 PM ^
Need quick hitters. MTSU blitzes fucking with UM.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
Glen Mason thinks we look quick. Game over.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
Let's hope the defensive front four can do something and I'm sorry the more ben Mason plays at defensive tackle the more I question what the coaching staff is doing. Put the big freshman in and let them learn
August 31st, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
I’m lifting myself from the BPONE and took Michigan -14.5 for 2nd half! Leggggo
August 31st, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
Can I be negative about just one thing? It makes ZERO sense to run Dylan out there as a WR. He's the second best QB we have and a good weapon and the worst WR we have by a mile. It is simply dumb to have him in
August 31st, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Counterargument:
They're trying to put something on film as if he could take that quick pitch and throw the ball.
Also, he played WR in HS until starting at QB so he's used to it. And he was the #2 in HS when he started at WR.
That said, my guess is the first point is the reason he's in. Just putting things on film. He can take that pop pass and throw it as long as he's behind the LOS.
August 31st, 2019 at 10:21 PM ^
Counter-Counter argument:
Playing your top two QBs at WR is really dumb and produces no results. When has this alignment ever worked or produced a big play for any team in the history of football?
August 31st, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
Also, very nice to have 197 passing yards in one half from Shea Patterson. Feels good to see a real passing game forming.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
I think Giles Jackson has the most potential for making plays.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
He feels like he is about to break one.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Here’s to hoping Matt Millen doesn’t return to the booth for the second half. On that ambry Thomas fumble recovery, he literally said “well if his knee is down it’s not a fumble” no fucking shit dude
August 31st, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
Tread lightly, I made a joke about him and I got a posse with pitchforks after me
August 31st, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Blue has got to pick it up
August 31st, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Why are people panicking?
We've had some 1st game fluke/bonehead plays that we have to clean up. But we're playing well.
The offense looks GREAT finally getting some easy yards. HUGE mistake by Harbaugh not using timeouts on that last drive that is on him. Should've used it after the 1st down with 40-something seconds and instead of spiking the ball. Awful clock management.
Defensively, Don Brown clearly hasn't adjusted and his defense still gets gashed against mobile QBs and crossing routes. He has to run more zone.
Let's have a CLEAN second half and get better.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Truth.
Take away our fumbles and Mid Tenn has zero.
Yes, we don't look elite but 1.) this is the first game with the new offense and 2.) boneheadedness has magnified what should be the exception and not the rule to our play.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
I’ll direct you to your own paragraph on the defense to help answer your question.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
Time to move on from Dawn Brown
August 31st, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
Lol who are you getting that is going to consistently have a top 3 defense?
August 31st, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
I’ll find someone who can defend crossing routes. I don’t care if he can call a defense that pads his stats against Buttgers
August 31st, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
I think as a fanbase we may be overreacting a tad bit
Offense is performing well. Defense while not playing great has been given a short field often. Special teams are performing well other than the muffed punt. Things will stabilize in the second half.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Not going to be easy. We have no run game. The offense so far f-ING sucks.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
You're fucking dumb.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
"Well, Mongo ain't exactly a 'who'. He's more of a 'what'."
August 31st, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
Patterson is about to have 300 yards for the first time in his career at Michigan. The fuck you talking about?
August 31st, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
I'm sorry man, I'm going to have to disagree with your no run game statement. There was some nice runs. There was a couple nice holes. This is a new OC. This offense already feels better then what the other OC had going in the last 2 years. I see real promise!
The turnover really hurt in how the score looks. The score is making the game look closer than it really is.
August 31st, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
Someone send clips of Braylon Edwards vs. MSU 2004 - these fades to short guys needs to stop
August 31st, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
Wondered the same. Fade? Cool. Wait, where's Black or Collins.
