He must be sharing it with Pitbull who is featured on MGOBLOG instead of any living or historic coach or player during the biggest rivalry week of the year...
Not classy, funny or explainable...............
November 25th, 2019 at 10:55 AM ^
Obviously, I can't edit the post, but it is the case that JK Dobbins at OSU is the other co-offensive player, and Chase Young OSU is the defensive player of the week.
I'd be curious to know when the last time anyone, and the last time a Michigan player in particular, won the award two weeks in a row.
However, what I'd like even more is for Patterson to win the offensive player of the week three weeks in a row (with the concomitant win over OSU.)
November 25th, 2019 at 10:58 AM ^
I'd say its a really strong bet that Denard did it in 2010, back before the MSU game that year and he was garnering all the Heisman hype.
Wouldn't be surprised if he got it for the UConn and ND games. Heck, any of those games prior to the MSU game, I wouldn't be surprised if he won it.
November 25th, 2019 at 1:07 PM ^
If the Super Guide was published, I would look it up.
November 25th, 2019 at 10:55 AM ^
Is it too much to ask for three consecutive offensive B1G player of the week awards for Shea?
November 25th, 2019 at 10:58 AM ^
Can you redeem two co- offensive player of the weeks for one full one?
November 25th, 2019 at 10:59 AM ^
Well deserved! He and this offense, as a whole, are really hitting their stride and it couldn't come at a better time!
November 25th, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^
A real credit to the staff. When was the last time the team was peaking at this time of the year rather than walking at least partially wounded into the game?
November 25th, 2019 at 11:24 AM ^
I hope the run game can come back to life like it did against ND. I think we will need a good balance to beat OSU. Shea will not have much time to throw and will have to use shorter passes to our big speedy WR.
November 25th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
I'm not sure the run game went anywhere that it needs to come back from. The lack of carries (and hence, yards) the last two games is due primarily to avoiding the strength of MSU's defense and taking the free yards Indiana decided to give us.
As mentioned in the podcast, attacking where the defense is weak is something Michigan offenses have historically not done. I like this new trend! If it keeps up (and I bet it will), there will be some choices the OSU defense will have to make. The hope is that Shea makes them as wrong as he made MSU's and IU's choices...
November 25th, 2019 at 12:59 PM ^
We only need balance if teams are playing a balanced defense against us. If teams are going to continue to beg us to throw the ball, we should happily oblige them.
November 25th, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
People that are smarter than me in football can probably offer more input, but the decline in rushing performance might be because the passing game has exploded.
November 25th, 2019 at 11:07 AM ^
Shea is now 3rd in the conference in yards and 4th in TDs. His passing yards and passer rating are now almost exactly equal to his totals from last year. Stock is up, up, up.
November 25th, 2019 at 11:09 AM ^
Playin good football in November....seems.....nice? Still wish we'd been able to minimize the offensive system transition costs earlier in the season, but it seems like the combination of a new system, injuries at some key spots, and dumb turnovers doomed the season before it even got going.
That said, let it fly again OSU, Shea. I don't like our chances, I'm sure as shit not confident we're going to win, but this team is playing it's best ball of the year at the right time, is generally healthy, has nothing to lose but pride in the game, and seems fully weaponized to give the Buckeyes a fight. If ever there was a team that could screw up their season, this one seems as good as any. GO BLUE!!!!
November 25th, 2019 at 11:16 AM ^
If Shea can play the game of his life against OSU (like Gardner in 2013)... we'll remember him for a long long time
November 25th, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
That we lost that game proves there is no just and benevolent god
November 25th, 2019 at 5:55 PM ^
Gardner played the game of his life. If Shea plays that way, regardless of W/L, he will be remembered for it in some capacity
November 25th, 2019 at 11:16 AM ^
Don’t want. Can’t make reads. Can’t do anything. Over hyped. Harbaugh sucks all his QB’s get worse.
DMC IS the best QB ever. How the staff doesn’t know this idk.
/s
November 25th, 2019 at 11:24 AM ^
Afraid to acknowledge things this week. I feel your pain.
November 25th, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
WE Can’t have nice things !
November 25th, 2019 at 2:38 PM ^
Seems like a good place to say this...
If you posted something like this — no “/s” — a month or more ago please take a break with the dissing next time around. I totally get the frustration with watching the team lose and look befuddled. It fucking sucks. We feel the need to blame someone. But man...these kids, QB’s especially, are out there getting their asses kicked by 275lb dudes for your entertainment. So, please, the next time we look awful and it seems like a player’s fault just sit on your hands instead of dissing him in a public forum. I’m sure you can find a friend in real life who will agree with you and you can work yourselves into a pissed off frenzy in a way that has no chance of making it back to the players.
November 25th, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
Check out my posting history the only thing I’ve ever had a complaint was Beilein. And boy was I flat out wrong. Thanks for being internet PC police. But you could have taken the time to view what I actually post. I’ve been a Shea fan and I am and always will be a Harbaugh fan. He’ll figure it out he’s too competitive not to. If anything I’ve been critical of the WR’s having some cases of the dropsies.
I think the people who cry and moan after installing yet another offense about why it’s not working need to take a step away.
Those who stay will be Champions. I just hope we don’t run Harbaugh out of town because his replacement can do much worse.
November 25th, 2019 at 4:01 PM ^
Sorry I didn’t mean you! That was the more general “you.” I thought about that after I said it. Apologies. But I still do hope others choose a more generous path next time around.
November 25th, 2019 at 11:23 AM ^
Hoping that the 300+ yard performances will continue.
I think airing it out is the only way UM hangs with or even has a shot at beating OSU.
November 25th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
Absolutely. This is not the time to turtle.
Hopefully Harbaugh has seen enough from Gattis and the offense in the recent weeks to trust him to let it rip.
November 25th, 2019 at 11:50 AM ^
Memory lane. Glad we didn't switch to Milton, as some posters said we had nothing to lose.

Nico & Shea should share it.
November 25th, 2019 at 12:12 PM ^
Shea Patterson has every reason to go into Saturday confident, believing he can lead the team to a win.
I hope he knows that and plays like he has these last few weeks! That team is beatable.
Let's Go Blue!
November 25th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
BUT HE CAN'T HIT RECEIVERS IN STRIDE!
November 25th, 2019 at 1:03 PM ^
Let's make it one more game with 300+ passing yards.
November 25th, 2019 at 1:19 PM ^
Weather forecast is looking bad ... wintery mix and brisk winds. Typical THE Game conditions. Shea has proven to be good in bad conditions. Fields has never played in Michigan in late November in bad conditions. Let's make him miss his hometown Georgia weather.
BTW - any injury reports on Fields ? That left hand looked a bit mangled and he left the game limping after his ankle was rolled on.
November 25th, 2019 at 3:53 PM ^
He deserved it...
Even between last week and this week, his release seems much quicker, more confident and better accuracy. The ball floated on him a couple times, and that's ok... I'd rather see a missed long ball than an interception; also on the receivers to kick in the after-burners and go get it.
Also, his technique seems better, tight-ass spirals this past weekend... loved seeing that for the first time in a long time!
November 25th, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
Well deserved too, I would say.
Hopefully, he can tack one more such honor on this coming Saturday, although looking at the forecast, it might not be a great passing day.
November 25th, 2019 at 6:47 PM ^
Weather didn't sound too nice on Saturday, Shea didn't have a problem.
Maybe it will affect Fields more.
