Michigan Vs. Wisconsin - Game Thread - 12:00 PM, FOX

Here's the game thread. 

Here's to hoping for a win.

Either way, it will interesting to see a game where both fanbases will likely be far more upset with their own teams than with one another's teams.

Everyone says you shouldn't pull your starting QB because it breaks their self-confidence ..... but we overlook that if your QB already is broken .... its time to try someone else.  We lose this game unless we get at least an average Rutger QB performance.

Going for it was definitely the right move, but Wisconsin is brutal against the run.  Cade doesn’t look good (surprise).  Yeah the wr could help but they weren’t accurate throws.  They are also mostly within 10 yards.

I just can't guys....

4th and 1 against wisconsin, and you line up your power running back 8 yards behind the LOS only to run it up the gut....

I just cant.

Honestly don't mind the 4 and 1 call.

Really seems like a page out of the Ravens analytics whether people like it or not is another question.

But if your identity is a smash mouth run team, you go for that, especially since its early enough in the game not to really hurt you.

Love the aggressive attitude to go for it on 4th but need to test the edge or just go qb sneak under center.

Cade may not be the answer.  Looks to have happy feet.

Liked the playcalling and aggressiveness but the WRs and TEs blew it bad. Two drops. Two routes short of the sticks and looks like All blew that block on the 4th down.

Don't like the decision to got for it on 4th and 1 on our side of the field. Michigan has to show a consistent passing threat to be able to pick up easy 4th and 1 conversions against their run defense. Meanwhile the scouting report says their offense is their own worst enemy; great time to play the field position game.

Fully convinced now that our QBs do not have the option to keep the ball on RPOs.  On that second 4 and 1, left side was wide open and Cade had a blocker.  Easy conversion if he kept it

I don’t mind going for it, we wanted Harbaugh to be aggressive and he’s doing it. But boy you are playing with fire by running right into the teeth of Wisconsin’s strongest point. 

Going for it twice did seem a bit greedy though.
