Michigan vs UCONN 2nd half head asplode thread!

Submitted by KAYSHIN15 on
Does Devin complete another pass this game? Do we drop Chris Wormley in coverage again? Do we make any halftime personnel changes with the O-line? Is it time to lower expectations? Am I on this ledge for no reason? (figuratively of course)

I feel like last year when Devin took over we had so much success with short 8 yard curls to gallon. It was an automatic first down. Where has that gone? Maybe I'm missing it but I haven't noticed that in awhe

Lewan hobbling; most of the effective stuff is going right.

I think that's part of the problem right there. He's the one absolutely irreplaceable component of this team and I don't think that boot this week was any laughing matter.

Are you fucking kidding me. We get a TD and immediately kick it out of bounds. WTF is up with WIle??? Time to take him out, he's clearly not playing well the entire season thus far.

The under-center plays, much like dinosaur punt coverage (did anyone see that constant line shifting to confuse blocking assignments on UCONN's punt, which hasn't ever worked, only to have all but two of those shifting guys starting getting back to block for the returner? They were blocking air. Absolutely pathetic) simply don't work.

It's like Borges just doesn't get it. Nothing's changed. We've averaged about two yards a play from under-center.

UConn's QB is miles better than Gardner.  This is sad.  Heads need to ROLL this week.  What an embarassment.  Lewan especially.  "We won't let this happen again."  Liar.  Who wants to pay these guys this week?  They don't deserve paychecks.

Michigan is prey. They did not come out to take it to UConn. They came out and UConn is taking it to them. This team was not mentally prepared to be the predators. That's on Hoke.

It's not about emotion but preparation and the focus to execute. Everything else is noise. Your emotional state wears off 3 plays in but your focus carries you to execute preparation.

FWIW, I never bought the never played the game argument (though I have played) but I'm sure neither of us at B1G. Coach/Player cop out when they don't have a better explanation.
