No time to exploit it.

Until we get the O line fixed, we have a ceiling on how well we can do this year. Hint: It ain't 11-1.

The offensive play calling on that series was actually pretty decent. We need to execute.

You have options not named Gallon. Like Jackson, who was wide open there.

but you can't tell me that we can't score 20 points on them after a bye week to prep for them? That's an indictment on Borges plain and simple. Borges apologists please go away.

As long as Borges is OC it will be better for my health to stop caring as much. I haven't watched the game for but 5 minutes and I know I'd be infuriated if I watched from the start. He just doesn't have it. I don't have to be a chef to know if food is badly cooked.

Michigan team 134 needs a lot of improvement. Like o line, rb and qb. We have these 5 stars for a reason put them in.

of concern than RB or QB. You can't ask your QB to be Mr. Everything every game, which is going to be the case as long as the o-line play stays horrible.

If we want to win this game, we're going to need to find a pick six or some other big plays somewhere. We just can't move the ball methodically at all against that defense.

Michigan will not win a big ten championship with Hoke as the coach. I tried to buy in, but seeing only regression this season while other teams improve leaves me with no faith in any member of this coaching staff.

you've seen nothing because you don't know what you're looking at. You think you know, but you don't. What you're seeing is a very young inexperienced OL & DL, nothing more. Hard to win games when you have cannot control the LOS.

But, I suppose we should just fire everyone, watch all those stud recruits bail, and start over cuz a bunch of knownothings think they're right.

After 3 years is this REALLY what Hoke and company is all about? Is this the best they can do? The Michigan "brand" is really taking a hit

I recall an inteview where Mattison said it wasn't important for DB's to look back at the ball but rather to play the receiver. I think he was wrong. Michigan DB's have gotten destroyed all year by not looking back to make a play on the ball.

That's what I've been saying. Hoke is turning into Charlie Weis - all recruit no coach. I had a sinking feeling when we didn't get Harbaugh. Hoke delayed it that first year but 8-4 is going to be what we do under Hoke.

Really? Because all I recall about that RichRod offense was that it beat up on crappy teams and got completely shut down by teams that had a pulse on defense.
