Outisde of Joe Kerrige? Shit, like always.
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
Based on the statistics for today, they should have given Joe Kerridge a lot more carries this season.
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:13 PM ^
Best catch of the day

What god damn snowflakes? You have a running back that's averaging almost 7 yards a carry and pretty much unstoppable all game and you only run him 14 times or whatever.
Jesus Christ this staff is so damn stupid, and Funchess? If I was the coach I would have benched his ass like 5 games ago.
November 23rd, 2014 at 12:12 AM ^
most of those carries were on one series too..
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:49 PM ^
I miss sludgefart. It was a higher brand of whatever.
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:51 PM ^
What offense?
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:52 PM ^
the Special teams snowflakes thread?
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:53 PM ^
Thank God we fired Borges! That was a brilliant decision- saved the season right there. With our dynamic passing game we are sure to kill OSU
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:53 PM ^
Funchess has to be one of the most overrated players ever. I honestly don't see how anyone would even consider him a first round pick. So what if he's a physically gifted athlete, he couldn't catch Ebola in Africa.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
Agree. Someone needs to light a fire under this guy's ass. For his own good, frankly.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:32 PM ^
though I know it would never happen, I wish one of the truly great #1's would go to Schembechler Hall and demand that he relinquish that jersey.
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:14 PM ^
Yet ANOTHER FAIL by hoke, giving a jersey to those who hadn't earned it. Gardner 98, funchess 1. who else? Ryan at MLB

he checked out after Utah/Minnesota game and is looking towards NFL draft. He's pretty much as good as gone. There is a good chance that NFL team will take him at 1st round since some considered him a 1st round prospect.
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:21 PM ^
if I had a QB who could not throw accurate passes to me. It probably surprised him that a pass was actually catchable.
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:42 PM ^
He may very well go undrafted. His questionable hands and lack of production are huge negatives. His attitude is also going to be frowned upon.
November 23rd, 2014 at 11:32 AM ^
there are some who are high on Funchess based on potential. They're comparing him to Kelvin Benjamin who had the same issue as Funchess. He won't go undrafted, that' s a guarantee. As of now, I'm hearing still firmly in 1st and 2nd round discussion.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
Wouldn't waste a first round pick on him?? I wold be surprised if he was a 5th round pick.
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:54 PM ^
How about just one more boot leg? Just one more, it'll work next time, i swear
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:56 PM ^
Sadly, that was the best they have looked against a competent defense in 2 years. Then they self-destruct in the red zone with terrible play calling and "execution".
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
You'll be pleased to know that we in fact outgained Maryland - 398 yards to 312 yards. There is that, if you want a glimmer of....something. As for the rest of it, 292 yars of those were rushing but on 45 attempts, so 6.5 yards per carry overall. We managed only 106 yards passing - Gardner was 13-24, which is good for 4.42 yards per attempt and 8.15 yards per completion.
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:59 PM ^
I can't really say because I was mostly watching FSU - BC. This is easily the lowest point of my Michigan football fandom. Besides being a "real fan", there's no reason to watch this miserable team play miserable games with no hope for the future.
Actually, the biggest thing I feel bad about is the all the dumb stuff I missed to laugh at Hoke.
November 22nd, 2014 at 6:59 PM ^
bench funchess till he pulls his head out of his ass
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
I am sick and tired of fourth-and-shorts and third-and-shorts being the same damn play: drop back, quick out to Funchess, who habitually drops them. Can't wait to watch this whole sorry coaching staff sent their various ways.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:04 PM ^
Godspeed, Devin Gardner. I hear Noah Spence is coming back next week.
If you come out of that game fully intact, consider that a victory.

"Catches and drops are just a statistic"--Devin Funchess
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
Funchess has had the look of a guy trying to protect himself for the NFL.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:27 PM ^
Does anybody else throw something at the tv when he comes in? He needs a huge hole or it is at best a one yard gain. There is no bounce, no speed, no lateral quickness. He is game over.
Honestly, Kid works hard and is tough as nails. But he is President of the "win prevention department"
Run Drake until he can't go anymore, then go change of pace with J. hayes. Defenses don't have to defend the edge with D. Smith.
Why the fuck do we need to give them equal touches? Win the damn game.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:15 PM ^
Gald we stopped giving him the ball. He got too many yeard each carry. it didn't allow us enough plays to properly execute.
Funchess needs to look himself in the mirror and ask if he really wants to play football or not. He doesn't seem to be there mentally at all.
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:10 PM ^
Yeah no shit. I noticed this last year. This is what hapoens when everyone says how great he is, without a Bo to keep the ego in check.

it was a good idea I think, looking back on it-- but it does show that you never really know The Reality v-the PR . . .
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
keeping Funk was just part of the problem. Staying on as HC was the other part of the problem.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:01 PM ^
The most athletic play I saw all day was made by AJ Williams...that about sums up the ability of this offense.
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:44 PM ^
at first I thought 'is Hill back from injury', but then I saw it was Williams.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:02 PM ^
so that was a nice change.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:27 PM ^
Ive opined that its been time to To Think of NY for QB-Morris and the Nuss-O.
Morris does NOT run like DG-- Morris will need Nicely Sequenced O-calls from Nuss. And so-- The Problem is Self-Evident.
MAYBE Morris will be More Accurate than DG-- MAYBE Nuss will find better Ocall sequencing.
BUT-- Hoke-Nuss will Not Be Here for NY . . .
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
Do you get the feeling we wouldn't score even if a defense was not on the field?
November 22nd, 2014 at 10:15 PM ^
Drake Johnson should have gotten more carries and Smith should have had less.
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:21 PM ^
I never played sports at any serious level so I'm a complete armchair athlete when it comes to football.
BUT it is palpably different how much quicker and faster Drake Johnson hits the hole or tries to make a cut (he slipped a few times on the wet turf) then De'Veon Smith. Smith may be bigger and a load when he gets up to speed but he rarely "hits" the hole.
Well, we'll always have next year.
