Michigan vs. Northwestern - Game Thread - 12:00 PM - Fox
Friend of the blog Jeff Niemann and his graphic designer brother Brian developed this interactive graphic/app so you can track in-game stats. The press has had something like this for years that we use to pump out interesting data during and after games. I figured you folk might want to play with it. I think if you’re on a desktop you have to use that popout icon on the bottom-right.
Unfortunately they weren’t able to make this say “M 0 0 N” like we asked, but the request is in. Go Blue!

Yikes.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
Cade looks not good.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
Terrible footwork on that throw
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
Do not have McNamara throw. Bring JJ in to throw.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
Maybe that’s why we don’t pass downfield very often.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
Deep ball accuracy still on vacation. Lost it somewhere in Nebraska. We need to find it.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
Cade not very accurate with the long ball today.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
At some point they have to realize Cades ceiling is holding this team back.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
Jump balls to double coverage short receivers nice!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Cornelius Johnson is 6' 3". What are you talking about?
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
The play before
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:35 PM ^
He said "jump balls" and "receivers," as in referencing both plays.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Yes. Plus 1 for you. Be careful stating facts. Some people get very emotional and you will offend them.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
2 deep passes in a row? Wow. The receivers weren’t too open on either of them though.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
2 wasted passes in a row
There, I fify
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:34 PM ^
And the throws were bad. Cade really can't throw very well downfield. But he throws nice short short passes.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:35 PM ^
I think Sainristil mia-judged the first one.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
I don't know what the wind is like in Ann Arbor today, but that's just not a good enough throw. Johnson wasn't wide open, but he was open enough to catch the ball with a good throw.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:36 PM ^
The coaches would have to change QBS in order to get catchable passes downfield.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
Rough ball placement on those downfield throws.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
Waiting for passing game to improve
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
Can't believe Klatt put that first deep ball on Sanristil.
These throws aren't close.
Jim could go out there and do it better.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
5 yard pass on 3rd and 10... I've seen this somewhere before
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
Shit! Bring in JJ.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
No reason M shouldn't have at least 1 touchdown already
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
I hate to say it, but run the ball already.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
UM seems content in relying on the Run next week at MSU. Good luck. MSU will make it a long game if Cade can’t hit deep balls.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
I like the deep shots, but not twice in a row. killed the drive.
A bit frustrating so far
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Offense looks putrid so far and Cade is the culprit
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Michigan is starting the wrong qb.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
How do people still argue for Cade? He will win the games he’s supposed to win but do you honestly see him beating Ohio state or Penn state?
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:34 PM ^
Oregon showed how to beat Ohio State. It is not the way Michigan plays with Cade at QB.
Something has to get much better . . . or different.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Those two long throws are called the ceiling!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Much as I want to see JJ get some reps, Cade needs them more.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
WTF, with these short passes?
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Damn. Back and forth crap. Let us shake off the cobwebs and put some points on the board boys
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Horrible. What's the net on that punt? Might as well go. Or at least pooch.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Can we bench Cade yet?
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:34 PM ^
He's older than JJ, so no. The relevant metric here is age.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Had a chance to turn the field. First touchback Robbins has given up on a punt this year though.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Nice sequence there, 6 yards on 3rd and 10 then a net 20 yard punt. Looks like we’ve improved a lot over the bye week.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Going for that N00M game this time! Woot. Quick change it to the Big N00M game!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Yeah, fuck it, just run the ball!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Illini fumble into the end zone and PSU covers it up for TD
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Didn't expect another M00N game. Better crack open the bottles boys.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:35 PM ^
I'll need some heavy drugs for this.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:36 PM ^
I’ve been trying to avoid, drunk by 2 Saturdays. This may be tough to stick to today.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Cade is not very good.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Cade is mediocre. Go for the ceiling and play JJ. Deal with the freshman mistakes, but play for greatness.
