We lost the game on our Dline.  How many tackles did those guys, as group, have all game?  Like 5?  That's not going to get it done.  And talk about tackling.. just bad tackling by everyone.  We didn't seem to tackle anyone on the first opportunity.  Always the 2nd or 3rd try.  LOTS OF YARDS AFTER CONTACT.  No mention of ANY of the linebackers.  Jake Ryan after that first series?  Demens was 100% absent.  Desmond Morgan?  Was he in the ballgame?

Gardner's instincts are NOT at receiver despite the hype.  On that jump ball early that he could have caught, you could see him putting his arm out in preparation to protect himself from the fall...that's not going to get it done.

Not only did we get routed in bad fashion we got Denard dinged pretty good, who knows about losing Countess for how long (ACL?), and then Lewan to ice the cake.  Very costly game for us to play.

I did notice on pass protection we consistently kept Denard clean, but running the ball stunk.  Too much east-west running.

made me want to punch the TV.  I've come to expect ridiculous commentary out of Musberger, since he appears to be in the early stages of Dementia, however Herbstreit was taking every opportunity to take shots at Michigan, and seemed to enjoy twisting the knife every chance he got.  I expected his usual ball-washing of the SEC, but he took so many pot shots at Michigan, it was making me sick!  Some of the insults were deserved, but Herby seemed to enjoy pouring salt on the wound.

This thread was made for me.

1) David Brandon / The Coaching Staff... if you're going to schedule this game, you best bring all your guns to the fight.  Not saying Toussaint should have played, but you had to use Denard as a runner if we were going to win.  Instead you "shelved" him to avoid injury, and we got blown out.  Also - what happened to all those interesting stunts on the first series?  Did Saban render them useless, or did we give up trying?

2) Some of the worst fucking reffing I have seen in a game of ours... ever.  The Rawls facemask as a holding call on Lewan?  Knee Grow Please.  That shit was AWFUL.  Also I don't know if it was the camera angle, but it seemed as if every "first down by the length of the football" became 3rd and 1 for us.
