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.

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

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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  . . .

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  . . .

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.
