If you had told me in August that we would finish 8-5 w/o Denard as QB, no Fitz, JT or Haggerup, I wouldn't have believed it.
Thank you Team 133.

I have disagreed with every comment that you have made tonight - literlly, every one - other than this. Our secondary stats do not tell the whole story. Our DBs consistently got beaten downfield. Lack of speed is killing us.

Yeah
Yeah
Stats don't mean shit, especially when you accumulate them against Purdue, Illinois, UMass, Iowa, I mean terrible teams. Even ND was a horrible passing tram when we played them and Alabama didn't need to throw. When it counted, this secondary was not good.

Which school has great second stringers?
We lost our best and second best corners in Countess and Floyd. So please tell me which schools out there have their 3rd and 4th best corners not getting burned.
It takes time for recruiting to catch up. We have Dymonte Thomas, Channing Stribling, and Jourdan Lewis coming in, and the coaches continue to recruit hard for the secondary. It is coming, but depth doesn't happen overnight.
Again, the color commentators were trying to be delicate, but reading through the lines, they clearly indicated that Mattison has done a masterful job with subpar talent. The talent is coming.

Dissapointing game obviously,
Dissapointing game obviously, but I was really impressed with what I saw out of the offense. We were able to routinely open up holes for our RBs from under center against a great run defense. We haven't really been able to do that to this point, even against terrible run defenses. Add a guy like Derrick Green to that equation and that's a damn good rushing attack. Borges also had a pretty good game, though Gardner let him down a bit. At the end of the day, if we had either of our starting CBs available we probably win. All you can really do is look forward to next year.

Question regarding Clowney's forced fumble play
Question regarding Clowney's forced fumble play
I believe Vincent Smith's helmet came off before the "exchange" from Gardner.
Shouldn't the play be called dead at that instant?
(I'm actually OK w/ the review official overlooking that as a makeup call. I think Spurrier would have gone Brian Kelly-purple had they reversed the call, and he's too old for that.)

Fine. Sorry for the ad hominem attack. But, read through his posts, they are almost all whiney complaints. Nothing is ever good enough for him, and it's annoying as hell. I'll try to ignore him, but he contributes to nearly every thread with his snarky little jabs at players, coaches, and the program as a whole. It's a disgrace that he uses F.H. Yost's name as his handle in here. Yost was a great man, and contributed to building the greatest college football program in the nation. This jack wagon whines and complains about everything and has contributed FUCK ALL!
I really dislike people that claim to be fans, claim to love something, then do nothing but belittle it and those that are trying their hardest to again make it great. He's obviously entitled to his opinion, but I just don't suffer negative snarky people who just sit and shit on everyone as if they're the fucking bomb. I'd rather he go root for MSU, or ND, or his neighbor's softball team -- anything but the
Michigan Wolverines.

Defensive Line
Defensive Line
Our defensive line was not solid today. They missed so many sacks with arm tackles and there was almost no pass rush amongst them. Any pressure on the qb was created by blitzes which then left our weak secondary on single coverage that South Carolina continually exposed.

Thinking ahead to spring ball
We need to work on a different technique for punt coverage, when the gunners dont get there against an elite returner (ace sanders) we are done for. I know im echoing Brian here but this game obviously made it apparent.
Also I am very excited to see the progression of Devin in the spring. He has all the tools to be a great QB but he needs as many reps as possible to iron out his inconsistencies.

Freshman receivers
Freshman receivers
We kept hearing the hype about the freshmen in bowl practices, but I don't seem to recall them being in the game at all. Any thoughts on this? Are the coaches hesitant to play younger players on offense for fear of the mental breakdown? I thought Funchess was under-utilized I'm this game as well. Gardner doesn't overthrow him as easily as he does Gallon. Also, freshmen seemed to see a good bit of the field on defense, so maybe it's a Borges thing against freshmen?

Darboh and Chesson. They are 2 of the biggest receivers we have. I am pretty confident they haven't accumulated any stats this year, but I thought they have been in games. So does are their redshirts still in place? Borges seemed to pull out all the stop for the whole game, and those were 2 weapons that weren't used in this game.

The only reason he's at Michigan is because his HS coach is related to Fred Jackson.
This is what I saw. I saw USC scoring on a big play within 2 minutes to go out by 7 and then devin throwing an arm punt to get intercepted. THis team could of packed its bags and quit making the result look like alabama but they didnt. Michigan fought this whole game. Was it perfect? Not one bit but MIchigan continued to fight and almost won the game against a top 10 team, a team if two years ago you said we had a chance against i would roll my eyes. Maybe i am too into moral victories but I am damn proud of this team.
