Michigan vs. Northwestern (Open) Thread

Why the hell is he out there?
November 16th, 2013 at 3:56 PM ^
Borges' problem has never been that he's incapable of drawing up successful plays. It's that his judgment on when to call what has been highly questionable, and he stubbornly sticks to certain things that virtually never work. Oh, and he doesn't change his calls based on what the defense is showing.
That's why you'll occasionally see a quick pass, screen, draw play, etc that hits big. And you'll wonder for a moment or two whether you've been too hard on ol' Al, right up until he starts sabotaging his own success again.
November 16th, 2013 at 3:56 PM ^
Again, why are we playing like 10 yards off the receivers. This happens every game
November 16th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
has the fastest future docs and lawyers in the universe
November 16th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
the strongest linemen
November 16th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
Under Armour > Adidas. Their uniforms just look more sleek and athletic. When is the Adidas K up?
November 16th, 2013 at 3:57 PM ^
Borges
November 16th, 2013 at 4:03 PM ^
To put in Morris, right now.
November 16th, 2013 at 3:57 PM ^
Are northwesterns uniforms supposed to look like that or are they falling apart already?
November 16th, 2013 at 4:01 PM ^
They mentioned that they were designed to look like an old tattered flag that has been flying for yrs.
November 16th, 2013 at 3:57 PM ^
paper cuts. paper cuts everywhere...
November 16th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
are inviting the screen and slants. Get close to the LOS!!!!
November 16th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
It's disappointing to see that all of our opponents now realize that if you blitz our offense and if you run hurry up on our defense, you will have success. Why haven't our coaches made any adjustments to prevent this?
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
Do a quick search for the word "fire" on the board and read any of the 4000 fire everybody threads.
November 16th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
There was a blatant hold on Countess
November 16th, 2013 at 4:08 PM ^
Blatantly jumping on Gordon's back...
November 16th, 2013 at 3:59 PM ^
How about no bend, no break, all PAIN.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:01 PM ^
I have not seen that type of defense from Michigan since 1997.
November 16th, 2013 at 3:59 PM ^
Really gotta watch out for Courage and Service. Those guys are pretty good
November 16th, 2013 at 3:59 PM ^
I hate this crap coverage
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
Bubble Screen??? They got 6 yards. Fuck that shit
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
The turf makes an excellent stop on that one!
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
Thank you grass
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
Yes, like that.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
smart call on TO
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
Very good/odd pass from NW there
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
Good read Bolden!!!
November 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
They were lined up five yards off on 4th and 2...
November 16th, 2013 at 4:01 PM ^
the field corner waa playing way too close to the LOS
November 16th, 2013 at 4:01 PM ^
Why do we always have a timeout in the first quarter before a 3rd down or 4th down.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:02 PM ^
And then give up the first down anyway.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:03 PM ^
Drives me nuts.. save the damn timeout.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
Called TO cause our CB's were 6 yards off on 4th and 2
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
TO was the right call
November 16th, 2013 at 4:03 PM ^
Third down and twenty
What will I possibly call?
Power to the left.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
It's like we've never seen an option play before ever. Have we ever defended it sucessfully?
November 16th, 2013 at 4:05 PM ^
That's a good question.
Yes, sometime pre 2007
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
Wow, hope that first down was worth it... that's gonna be sore tomorrow.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
First guy goes FOR THE BALL. ALWAYS GO FOR THE BALL CARRIER
November 16th, 2013 at 4:05 PM ^
Not quite. You don't defend the option that way
November 16th, 2013 at 4:08 PM ^
One guy always has the pitch man.. Someone else has the qb
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
Mattison true to his word. Saw 4th and short and his CBs were playing too far back. Timeout and then Michigan CBs came up and played press coverage. Mattison is a man of his word, I like that. Good to see the adjustments made.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:06 PM ^
The question is why in the hell would they be lined up like that in the first place???
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
I'm pretty sure the announcer in the State/Nebraska game just called Sparty "The Wolverines". Did I hear that right?
November 16th, 2013 at 4:09 PM ^
I see Sparty pulled out the uniformz today
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
At least it looked like a cool hit
November 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
Throw god.. also run god
November 16th, 2013 at 4:05 PM ^
Mattison is a disaster this year. This defense is always late to set. Continues to get man handled up front. Plays 10 yards off WR.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:09 PM ^
Getting manhandled is not on Mattison. He's not the strength coach.
November 16th, 2013 at 4:05 PM ^
How could we have so many guys in coverage and have a guy that open???
