For anyone interested, the Marine Semper Fidelis Bowl just started on the NFL Network.
Michigan has DT Maurice Hurst Jr. and CB Ross Douglas playing for the East (Blue) team, and there are a ton of future B1G and ND players in the game.
So far, Maurice Hurst has looked extremely quick, especially on his 3rd down -10 yard sack against future Northwestern QB, Matt Alviti.
Hurst looks quick and strong, dominating his lineman. Exactly what we hope to see at Michigan
Douglass looks a little small, but is starting and has made a few plays
Former Michigan target Devon Allen just dropped a ball in the endzone on very good coverage by Ross Douglas.....
...... and it was called a touchdown....
100% not a catch
If there was instant replay that call would not stand.
How on earth was the ruled a catch. Very nice coverage by Ross
Says he made the catch, and held onto it, that's a touchdown. Really, Solomon?
...would be a nice replacement for Gallon!
Malik Zaire for the East (blue) is ND's QB recruit for the class. Lefty, dual threat
this game looks about 100x's much more organized than the UA game did...amazing when you get HS coaches to actually coach instead of former NFL guys their for TV and the espn presentation.
Also have zero doubt the Army game will look light years better than the UA game.
Night and Day. There's actually execution and real game play in this one. Much better game to watch
I wonder if they actually practiced plays rather than doing 1 vs 1 drills and skills competitions?
The Quarterbacks have looked a lot better in this game....
Maybe because Nkemdiche isn't on the DL, but still...
it looks like there was at least a little team practice...all i got from the UA game was nothing but 1 on1 drills all week and Herm Edwards yelling really loud for some reason.
that's just the way he talks,like a douche bag.
Herm is the man! Easily one of my favorite analyst on ESPN. Nothing douchey about that guy, those type of sentiments are saved for one Skip Bayless.
Honestly, I didnt think Nkemdiche was all that impressive. Sure, he had a couple QB hurries, but def nothing earth shattering.
and nearly got the sack as the qb somehow managed to escape his grasp.
seems to have a great motor.
Just turned it on. What number is Hurst and Douglas?
Both on East (blue)
Douglas #6
Hurst #50
Thanks!
in our hearts.
Douglas blue #6 and Hurst is #50
Hear Lemming mention that Tosh Lupoi (who is a coach at Washington) was talking to him about Elijah Qualls possibly being a RB as well. Isn't it a violation fir a coach to talk about a specific player when talking to the media?
Kiffin replied no.
Didn't Kiffin get in trouble his first year at Tennessee for this?
My cousin is the kicker for the east team, already has a 41yard FG and extra point. He's good and its going to kill me to see him kicking for MSU. He grew up a die-hard UofM fan, but no scholly offer.....booo
who is he? I ask only because the roster has the East kicker going to BC
Michael Geiger 3 star on scout out of Toledo.
Maybe he can miss a few on purpose?
That is just awful. Sounds like we need another MGoKickstarter for the kid's tuition.
But no real die-hard fan of M would go to M State. At least not where I'm from.
Um, if they get a full ride football scholarship to MSU and not to UM, they probably would. I'm just saying, I would understand if it were someone in my family.
Unless you want to be a veternarian........... Try to get that degree at UM.
Michael Geiger, he was committed to BC, until MSU offered in early December. He's from Toledo, so family can make it to a lot more games....hopefully when he's kicking for MSU it never comes down to him kicking the winning field goal.
.....winning field goal, against US, that is.
His Dad works for UofM Hospital and went to UofM undergrad too........UofM not coming up with a scholarship for him could destroy our family. Thanks Hoke.
I think the solution here is obvious: go back to the BC commit. Better school, better location, less Axe body spray. Family problem solved
When you think about it, Gibbons is coming back right? Wile has 2 more years, we can't have 3 schollies taken by kickers in this 85 max era, they need to increase the max to 90.
Too bad Wile hasn't really had a chance to be an all time kicker at U-M, that guy can kick FG's well, he's unlucky that Hoke was able to handle Gibbons better than RR, He has earned his way to an NFL chance IMO with last 2 years, remember how he kicked in 2010, what a difference.
That right there is just one example of why I'm so confident about our staff and future
Your family really should not blame UM or Hoke for this one. At no point has the team considered taking a kicker, and even if they had, they're not going to take your cousin just because he's a Michigan fan. As a Michigan fan, I'd be furious if they did that.
If it really means all that much to him, why doesn't he walk on at Michigan? I understand a full-ride is tough to pass up.
I'm a Michigan fan. I'm pretty pissed I didn't get an offer. Apparently they didn't want a 6'2" 215 pound tight end that runs a 5.3 forty :/
Malik Zaire, ND QB recruit, looks meh so far. He fumbles but it's negated by a penalty. Sacked twice on other plays. Athletic, good speed and has escapeability, but hasn't looked great throwing
So that makes zero quarterbacks I've seen look good in these HS games tonight
The only QBs I've ever seen look good in any of these games I've ever watched are dual threats that just take off for big gains. Barkley looked pretty good in his game. Otherwise whichever QB looks good usually has some big bomb that a WR makes a play on; high variance type stuff. Can't say I've seen one drive the entire field. But small sample and all; a team only practicing for three days with kids they've played with before against defenders that can actually defend?
I think if Treadwell comes down with ball last night and scores a TD, Morris is the talk of the game last night in terms of QBs. Even with the pick later
Shane would've went to the Army AA Game instead of that coreagraphed BS on espn, what a joke
According to the "experts" at ESPN, the UA game breaks down like this: defense see ball, get ball offense learn a new offensive scheme in 4 days. Offenses are at a big disadvantage in the game
Wasn't it 49-16 last year? Seem like we are just trying to compensate for Shane playing badly.
NFL Network just reported that Chip Kelly was nearing a deal to become next head coach of the Browns
That is a dumb choice for him. Why leave a great program at Oregon to just fail like all of the other coaches in Browns history.
I thought the Eagles would have been a great fit, assuming they wanted him. Cleveland is a black hole where all coaches go to die.
is coming knocking for him at Oregon. I'd be pretty surprised if he wasn't fired before the 2013 season if he were to stay in Eugene. Better to go the Pete Carroll route than the Jim Tressel route.
And tossing. New Olympic sport!!!! Gotta admit this is darned impressive.
