Michigan vs. Utah [OPEN THREAD]

I posted earlier on this, DG should get first series, if we don't move the ball, Morris goes in on the next. Throws Utah a curve and sends entire offense a message to pick it up.

In fairness to Gardner, none of our receivers make tough catches. they may have been short but Gallon and Dileo had better hands than any of these guys,

Is going to make our offense esplode

Can't wait for basketball season. At least Michigan has one coach who has a clue.

I am ok with Hoke and GMat going at it.....I want to see someone fired up on the sideline. Can we try a hurry up offense to try to get some rhythm? Worst case scenario at least we get to watch more D!

Jesus people we're down THREE FUCKING POINTS.  You guys act like we're in some sort of insurmountable hole that no team has ever recovered from.

Refuckinglax guys.  We've got this.

This is the most deflated and demoralized I have ever seen the michigan fan base... not even losing to app state or Toledo has brought the program down to the level it is now. There's going to come a time when we won't be able to get talent anymore if shit keeps going this way, especially with the entire big ten looking like absolute garbage (minus wisconsin... I don't care what anyone says.... they had LSU beat and had a really unlucky series of injuries that was easy for Les to exploit) 

Liveblog?

For the first time in 22 years I am contemplating leaving a game at halftime.

I'm ready to start hoping that this team goes winless the rest of the season. The only way we will get a new coach.

That was brutal but you can see the potential.  The D is better than last year and we run the ball way better than last year.  Gardner has tunnel vision right now.  I know it is a new offense but it is tough watching him.  We could be a 10 win team easy.

Mattison looks like he's tired of this crap as well.

thats on the coaches as well.

i want to hear from Hokes supporters..now what?? you still believe in this guy

Has everyone forgotten there's still an entire half of football left to play?

That's when salaries are earned.

Who does DG have to throw to that is really decent besides funchess? 

 

Which Devin has taken the most mount of brutal hits that most players at this level never have to go through? 

 

Why does ABC keep showing that replay of the Utah qb looking like he's getting his neck broken? 

 

 

There is a lot of bitching going on. We're going to win this game. Have faith. 

It seems as if I'm in a Bill Murray "Groundhog Day" loop every time Michigan plays a team with a pulse.  Game after game M makes just enough mistakes to be in trouble.  This time it's offensive execution (to me eye) and a line drive punt with negligible cover time.  That ultimately has to come down to preparation.

"The best things these guys have going for them are the legitimately disruptive Nate Orchard (who's from the same high school Sione Houma and Bryan Mone are) and their nose tackle's spectacular name: Viliseni Faounuku.

You never know about mostly new football defenses but the overall picture here is encouraging."

 

The most frustrating thing about this team is that I can see the talent is there. That's where I feel there has to be some sort of coaching disconnect. I think we're a legitimate 10-win team talent-wise. I just keep seeing us shoot ourselves in the foot over and over.

Trivia question for the board.  Has any football team, in the history of the game, EVER come back from a halftime deficit as large as the one we face right now?

I just want to know if it's been done before.  If it has - i still have hope.  If it hasnt then I agree - fold the tents, fire the coach and burn the stadium to the ground.

And yes, Gardner 2 years ago > Gardner today 

 

Why? Watch him take more hard hits than muhammad ali's rattled brain. 

In the unemployment line!
