Offensively, I think we can be even better!
I definitely think when we are clicking on all cylinders, this Michigan Offense is really good! But, with all that said there is certain things we can do to make this offense even more explosive. We all have wanted this spread for so long, but this is not the same spread that teams like Florida and Oregon run. Am I the only one who notices that Michigan's first drive is always successful?? Then we take a dump in the second drive and become stagnant. D coordinators are making adjustments and I dont think Rich Rod and Mcgee do enough to counter that adjustment. There needs to be more creativity in this offense, that is what it lacks right now. We never motion a slot or run a jet sweep or even fake a jet sweep. From my experience coaching and watching teams like Florida, Oregon and now even Auburn so much more will open up for an offense if you make the Defense think about other things a little more. We lack that right now. The Defense never needs to adjust right before the snap, because we dont move anybody around. It is kind of frusterating, because I believe this can make us even more explosive. I just hope this can be added to the playbook over the bye week. Also, we haven't seen a running back screen pass since Uconn! We scored on that play! Need to stop thinking Denard will break one all the time with a quarterback sweep and do more creative things.
P.S. Not bashing this offense, obviously we are putting up points and yards enough to win, but we can be even better, This isn't even close to the ceiling for this team and eventually coaching needs to take you to that point. Just my thoughts, would love to hear people's opinion about this.

Yeah, 3 turnovers, penalties, missed field goals, I should hope we can play better?! I thought our performance was okay but sloppy at times.

Our offense has two senior starters, a ton of underclassmen (including at QB), and just put up 28 points and over 500 fucking yards against one of the best defense's in the country. Did I mention we lost our starting QB to injury and the anchor of the o-line? I'm sorry they can't be awesome like that Florida offense that is kicking the shit out of Mississippi State right now.

I was not referring to this year's Florida Offense dumbass, I am talking about the Florida team that won two national championships! Funny how you dont mention Oregon or Auburn in that response.

Don't call people names if you aren't smart enough to figure out how to hit the reply button and don't realize that today's performance doesn't happen if the coaches "aren't making the adjustments."

Your avatar is the single most repulsive thing I've seen since Andre Smith at the NFL combine, running the forty yard dash in an entirely too tight shirt. Please change it before I lose my breakfast, lunch and dinner. From the past three days.

Actually our offense is quite similar to Oregon's because Oregon's is based on ours.

because the defense is giving up close to 35.6 pts per game in the Big 10 and the offense is avg only 29. If this continues, it will not be good for anyone.
Did anyone notice that when Obi Ezeh came in, Iowa started moving the ball. Demens should play 85% of the defensive plays and Obi should stay on the side lines and take notes.
