Looks like our run game has become undeniably elite
October 8th, 2016 at 10:17 PM ^
Maybe my sense of empathy is a little strong but with this score to take it to 70 I am really feeling sad for Rutgers players.

I never said they shouldn't keep playing hard. The back ups were in the whole second half and totally destroying Rutgers, which was good to see. I still felt bad for them.
October 9th, 2016 at 2:29 PM ^
All Michigan was doing in the second half was running the ball up the middle. That is a coach's way of saying "here is the ball, come tackle it" and Rutgers couldn't stop the most basic play in football. I thought Harbaugh was tring to make it easy on them., Their players clearly quit in the second half and that is on their team and their coaches.

I really like Higdon and Evans. We will be tough at RB next season. Isaac looks good as well.
October 8th, 2016 at 10:30 PM ^
I'm really looking forward to Evans getting a little stronger in the legs. Breaking a couple more tackles here and there.

As of now, Bobby Henderson does have more yards than all of Rutgers

Hard to complain after this beating, but Speight has to play better. This is a 2 loss team unless he improves.

Yeah, I'm really not. He's consistenly missing intermediate throws, and his pocket presence is getting worse. Several throws tonight were just awful, and with zero pressure.

At the beginning of the game the weather was much worse than it was at the end. Speight started poorly, but much of that was weather. I agree that Wilton must get better (much better) if we hope to compete in Columbus. The bye week was huge for Rudock last year, hoping the same holds true for Speight this year. Also keep in mind tonight was Speights 6th start in his career.

Let's hope your right about Speight. That game is looming larger and larger by the week and it was pretty large before it started looming. Looming, that's an odd word...

weather for a QB's.did anyone really think he would be lights out as a first year starter? one of speights biggest problem is holding on to the ball too long. coaches pick starters for many reasons, leadership, knowledge of the play book, etc etc. its possible the other QB's make worse catastrophic mistakes like TO's in practice and maybe Harbaugh's thinking is speight is less likely to lose a game than he is capable of wiining games for you? i was impressed with speight last year against minnesota, and still think he's your best option. he has a strong arm, big and is almost a look alike of a young harbaugh, back in the day.
i think the um coaching staff's strategy is to play solid defense and not turning the ball over. osu is probably still more talented but anything can happen game to game in football. i still think um is a better match up for osu than say a indiana, msu or wisconsin. next week @ madison i think will be close till the 2nd half, then i think osu pulls away. i just don't think their offense will do very well against our D. especially if they run on every 1st & 2nd down like they did against you guys in aa. being at home they may decide to go for broke and open up the offense. i think even the most ardent um fan can agree that they were over the top conservative in their playcalling which doesn't help an overmatched QB vs um's D. good luck the rest of the way and here's hoping both TOSU and um are both undefeated coming into the "Game", which we may just have another #1 vs #2 again in cbus. all i can say is i'm glad this years game is in cbus.

Agreed. This is not the Speight we're looking for.And we're not going to run like we did today for the rest of the season, and certainly not in The Game.
That said, at this time last year we were routinely referencing "Sad Ghost" Jake Rudock, so there's hope.
October 9th, 2016 at 12:05 PM ^
of wildcat with Peppers at the helm.

Wow, we haven't had nine (9!) rushing TDs in a game since, what, 1939?

I don't think he played much after he fumbled. I saw him back in there but I saw more of Evans and Issac, and I mean in the first half.
October 9th, 2016 at 3:03 AM ^
last year after fumbling the ball. But Smith is a great blocker, so I'm sure he will be get his share of carries. I forgot how tall Issac is, he even looked a lot taller tonight.
October 8th, 2016 at 11:03 PM ^
Like, for real.
October 9th, 2016 at 12:47 AM ^
As a runner doesn't he seem like the most complete back? IMHO, dude runs with aggression, low and has enough speed to make defenses pay.

Harbaugh will be working with him through the next couple of weeks. In two more season we will have a significant upgrade in our QBs.

once we play better competition, WS needs to step up
Iowa
MSU
OSU
all 3 will be tough games despite records etc
Much improvement is needed from WS and at LT

Peppers really deserved that highlight reel TD.
October 9th, 2016 at 7:45 AM ^
I wish the ref had called a number for that infraction. It looked like a blown call--there really was no block in the back, but it's hard to be sure since we don't know who it was called on.
October 9th, 2016 at 9:01 AM ^
J. Lewis was running behind a Rutgers player who fell. If that was the call, it was a bad call.
October 9th, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
It was Hill (#44) and he did have a hand on the back.
October 9th, 2016 at 12:38 AM ^
throws a nice deep ball, wont do anything flashy, manages the game, and generally makes good decisions. with this defense we can win with him.
