Michigan vs. Utah [OPEN THREAD]

TOTAL FUCKING FAILURE

C'mon take a shot

Pisses me off

Hagerup have a new number?

Jumping or running during the throw.

Chesson!!!

That was the most impressive Hagerup punt in a long while

Conservative play calling.

Why not try to at least get the first down? I know it's crazy and all, but it can only help.

Chesson is a special teams stud.

They decided to punt on 3rd down. What the actual fuck?!

Hagurup didn't bang it into the EZ?  Wow.

Green is running like a vagina now

Yes.  A punt inside the 5. Come on D.

That's how you pin a team deep, men. 

OK defense... I know you haven't been forcing many turnovers, but right here would be a great spot for one.

But smart to pooch punt and rely on Chesson to go get it.

Hate the call, love the result

Nice punt  - need a stop and good field position

So you need about 8 yards to get into FG range, and you call a draw play on 3rd and 16?  Sometimes it's like we're not even trying to win.

jeebus

Zook Lives!

Come on Nuss!

tippy toeing from the backs...thought this issue was figured out last week

I hate to be a downer but define play is why we won't win 10 games. Maybe it's how he coaches are trying to use him, he ISNT a pocket qb, teams that pressure him are going to kill us

Lets see what the D can do with them pinned back. I smell a pick 6, we are due.

Fergodsakes! Come on coaches you promised to coach better.

That punt was on 4th down.

cant win football games with just Devin throwing it to Funches..spread the field lets get the rest of the guys in the rhythem

But when it works and leaves the opponent on the three man up and say it worked. Otherwise you look like a chump. 

Oline looks like shit. I think Nuss knows that Devin might go hero ball on that 3rd down so he went conservative. Hard to make a gutsy call when your QB has a history of gaffes on 3rd and long and your Oline is playing like shit.

to vote for Monkey Rodeo?

Special teams ace.

I mean it turned out OKAY, but why not take a shot?

Why do I get the feeling that penalties will be the blame but not the two wasted downs?

Wasted two long catches by Funchess.

Michigan Funchesses 3, Utah 0. Too bad we only keep one receiver on the roster.

Gardner owes funchess a sandwich after this game. He's gonna get him killed. stop going all Air Threet and let some passes rip

Devin (Gardner) go back to your 2012 form!

safety time.

Our run D is awesome.

a g-d special teams ninja.

I didn't know Jameis was suspending the whole game!  Hadn't heard that before

YES WE DO?

lol good lord

What the actual fuck.

Thank God for Jourdan!

to counter our blitz. shitttt

That was almost a shit sandwich. 

not a single dlineman peels back?

wtf!

-3

Beyer get your hands up! Damn

For the love of all that's good and holy is there a reason why we calls plays designed specifcally NOT to get a 1st down?  Is this just the game where we are are going to rely on D to give us the win?  3 points is enough right?

Great fucking hussle

Great save by Lewis. Fucking bs.

Is there such a thing as an RPS -4?

Lewis saves day

Piss poor defense

Shit. but Great tackle Lewis.

Wow, great play by Lewis.  WTF happened to everyone else though?

wow, come on D. Damn

last year. Except they caught him.

Perfect playcall for our blitz. Nothing on the execution

great didn't need to give them some life

nice. left tackle blocks a corner 5 yards downfield on a pass play to spring that big gain. expect brian to bitch

Here's your carbine.

it's not like we'll need points today.

from last year, Utes

Good play by Ross

Good play Ross

Need a turnover

And hell's bells on third down. You will all become one with the Borg. >_<

Lets go D, keep it to 3.

Jourdan Lewis is good.

Can't get a bounce.  At some point a fumble has to go our way.

and good job of minimiing the damage.

Ok. Time to exhale.

player of that series

Joudran came to play. Nice hand placement. 

Great hustle saved 4pts there...

Keeping 4 points off the board. Excellent work JD!!

Better synchronicity on the You Suck, students. Listen to your performing arts majors please and thank you.

Lewis really has the wheels and really lock up. Now please offense do something! For the love of God do something.

Well, give up a 70+ yard pass and still only surrender a FG. Okay, I guess. 

Don't like the scoreline but the pace of the game is in our favor.

Lewis saved our asses on that drive

D has only given up one big play. Playing pretty well. Come on Gardner. Let's get the offense moving.

Thank you Jourdan

This is why it's not good to waste trips to the other team's 35 by running on 3rd and long...

explanation for chicken littles and headline-parrots: That's one play that cost us, no we don't need to fire anyone.

Seems like in all of our press coverage, we always give up the middle...why not force sideline?

Held it off for a quarter, but I can't watch this without getting drunk

Lewis saved 4 points. Great hustle on a busted play. Strong recovery by the D on that drive.

Thanks for the hustle homie...

Thank goodness that Lewis if faster than everyone on Utah's offense or it would be 7-3 right now. 

Problem is that Utah stopped themselves on the last set of downs.

Offense needs to pull their heads out of their asses and score with authority on this drive.

need to score here to reassert our dominance in all but one play of this quarter

Let Norfleet get one

Stuck listening to the game online - not on TV here (friggin' tAMu-SMU game is on ABC and UNC-ECU on ESPN.

beautiful play by Lewis.

Our running game is such a goddamn joke.

WE cannot run the fucking ball

Can't run a lick.

Every time Canteen catches the ball it's a negative play and not any of his fault... poor kid

Throw the ball on 1st down.

Is having a bad game. Can't block or catch.

Funchess dimensional

Turn it up, son!

give us the trig function to show how much faster JD is than the Ute WR.

blech

This is pathetic

Throw the fucking ball away.

here goes another draw play.

Throw the ball Devin!!!

Nobody open I guess.....

Gardner playing like shit

Have to get rid of the ball!!!!!!!

plz throw ball away

Gosh I miss the 3 yards and a cloud of dust years. 

Why is ah Williams running routes and not butt

Throw the ball away gardner

Didn't Idaho State run for like 200+ yds on this shit defense? 

Very Borges-esque feel to the offense so far

Smith missed block.



We need to gain some yards on 1 at down or its gonna be hard to move the ball

Offense is frustrating

so we can only run the ball against inferior opponents? 

Man I hope Shane Morris is much better

Pisses me off when I have to agree w Speilman!

3rd and long, better take a knee and punt. Can't be too careful....

At some point giving Peppers some snaps at WR needs to be an option.

UNC has some jackass in a Cowboys jersey on the sideline - "Supervisor of Morale"  WTF is that

Chesson (?) needs more reps in scramble drill, turn it up and get behind the safeties/1

We have not been able to run a fucking offense since 2007. Line up 3 step drop and throw the fucking ball. When will Michigan be back, it is really getting old.

It's 3rd and long, should we HB dive?

If their corners are playing 10 yards off our receivers...why not take the easy 4 to 6 yard quick pass?

Fuck....time for beer 2!!!

This is like watching Minnesota play Minnesota. Two meh teams.

fuck these abc tv shows

The line needs to give DG some time but Morris can't be that bad.

Neither team can run.  It will come down to which QB can make plays without making mistakes.

*Gulp*

Not play clock slow...slow slow. Utes look faster and more decisive. Come on guys, get your shit together!

It's 1:45 am in Bangalore and I stayed up to watch this shit on my laptop in my hotel room? I am about to crash the mini bar so I can pass out.
