It wasn't an all out blitz. Only one came and almost had him.

Yeah but their kicker was clutch. This one would have been a head case if the game came down to his foot. He shanked one, had one blocked, and if (IF) we held, he would have had to kick from a considerable distance.

Great effort guys. That was a damn good team and they should have won. I hate to say it, but the secondary blew this game time and time again. Seeing Kovacs stand there and let Ellington run right by him for the clinching TD really hurt. Really tough game for Kovacs.

Gardner was a little off today, but over all the games he's started this seems to be the exception, not the rule. Shane will be redshirted.

If we dont hire an actual QB coach who only does one thing, and DG's accuracy is still 50/50, shane could win the job. All comes down to footwork and who can make the hard throws. Devin did not do that today.

Just wow unbelieveable.
I wish everybody on the team and all of us fans the best.
Thank you to the seniors and the whole team you played hard.
For those on the team remember this feeling and make it so that you never feel it again next season.
Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.

Shame on every single one of you
Shame on every single one of you
Kovacs has been one of the best players for Michigan these last few years. One bad play does not negate all he has done. Show some god damned class.
That blitz...if it had gotten there a half second earlier...or if Black can finish his sack....if if if. They were that close, but sometimes it just is not your day.
I for one am proud of the entire team and coaches. What a great effort against one of the best SEC teams this year. Thank you seniors, you will be missed.
I'm not a lunatic. Seriously, i'm not.
Ok, maybe just a little bit.
January 1st, 2013 at 6:04 PM |
Totally agree

With you here. Great game overall. We should have won, but we didn't. Kovacs was one if the guys that helped reshape our defense. And he's played his heart out every game for THE TEAM!!! And he should go down as an all time fan favorite player.

Please please tell me he will never play again. A sub 6 foot free safety who is SLOW?!?!?!? What the hell were you thinking in recruiting this guy RR??

Calm down and stay away from
Calm down and stay away from
Calm down and stay away from the Internet for awhile Gordon is a heady player who's not a great deep safety. We've known this for years, it not is today but that is what Wilson, Clark, and Thomas are for. Also who knows maybe LM3 just saw a chance for Hugh quality immediate playing time.

The hardest part of watching
The hardest part of watching
The hardest part of watching the game was listening to the announcers. It was all about South Carolina. Clowney got shut down today other than two plays and the announcers continued to praise him like he was dominating the game. Then they give him the player of the game with 4 tackles?! Lewan won the matchup in my opinion

When Michigan got the first
When Michigan got the first
When Michigan got the first down on the 4th and 1 it was apparent that they were homers when in the next play they exclaim they got at the position they should have got it after the TO. So much for unbias play calling.

Well, in a game that was
Well, in a game that was
Well, in a game that was decided by a punt return TD and multiple blown coverages, I think it might have been the loss of Hagerup & Floyd that burned us. Wile had a deep punt, but against good returners the hang time is more important. Also, Raymon had a rough game and probably had no replacement to get a breather (with everyone bumping up to replace Floyd). I think Mattison called good defenses, but the D-line couldn't take down the QB, and the DB's couldn't cover ANYONE. Realistically, they should have had even more passing yards than they even did. Every receiver out there didn't have a defender within 5 yards or more. Props to Borges for calling a couple nice drives and keeping Clowney quiet (relatively speaking). Also, props to Hoke for realizing he had nothing to lose and running multiple successful fakes in the special teams game (with some ref help). Overall, good game and I think we would do no worse than 5-5 in a 10 game series against SC (a top 10 team).

As much as a love Michigan football...
...I f'in hate Michigan football. I'd be a much happier person if it wasn't for the stressfull bullshit like what I just wasted the past few hours watching. For once, Borges (who I still despise) doesn't call a game like he's up in the booth watching cooking shows the entire time, and in return the defense decides to take a shit in the middle of the field and let's Ace and the rest of the f'in Cocks catch them with their pants around their ankles. I can't take this shit anymore.
Now on to Michigan basketball where the players are all competent (except for McLimans) and all the coaches consistently call a good game.

Honestly don't know who you the hell you are and why you act as if you've never seen an over emotionally attached U of M fan over exaggerate their frustrations in an attempt to try to come to terms with a loss/sub-par season.
I've clearly been around a lot longer than you and have contributed more to the forums than you have and someone likes me because I've managed to maintain a +2 karma, so stop trying to fight my temporary douchebaggery with yours. Thanks.

Would rather go down being aggressive than playing a soft ass zone and getting picked apart. Plus they had the backup QB in there and the secondary blew the coverage.
