1) Borges play calling
2) Both Guards and Center are bad, just really bad at blocking. I mean they missed blocks on the last screen pass. Awful.
3) Gardner (might be time to see what Morris has)

Well, this is the point where being stuck in Columbus year-round gets painful. NW has lost 5 straight and we're trying to make them look like Bama.

That play was on Al. He's ran same play on several 3rd downs this year. NW was prepared but you guys are right it was Devin who threw it.

Do all of our plays have one and only one receiver?

Al Borges has turned the Michigan offense into Sharknado. It's something terrible you watch for a few laughs.

We laughed it up at MSU's expense early on for their awful offense (while having a great defense) and now we're an even worse version of that unit. Turrible offense and a mediocre defense. Serves us right I guess

Nice to see we're mixing in some blitzes today.... D has at least been a little more willing to do that these past couple games.

A blitz and sack on the same play. This mythical combination exists!

faster than Gardner. Not on that sack but still. Gardner has to be injured.

If Hoke and Borges coached NW they might have an argument for poor execution.

Did anyone else see the receiver drop the ball on 3rd and 4? I can't believe even the commentators missed it.

The defense is finally playing the way I had hoped all year, tight coverage and plenty of pressure.

Now Play this Way the Whole Game!

Delay of game. Northwestern pulls a Michigan. Edit. My bad. They settled for a delay after trying to draw us off sides. When we do delays of game, our guys have no idea how many seconds are on the clock.

Should we not have the ball on the 12 or wherever it was first touched?

NW stopping themselves, got to have some offense. Our D will not hold all game. NW too quick and versatile

Devin's going to throw a pick. And I'm strangely OK with that. Just let Devin be Devin.
