"The Terminator" Pac 12 offensive Player of the Week

Really glad he’s having success. UCLA looks pretty good on Offense and Defense. I like their “sissy” blue uniform. I’ve always thought it look sharp used to play them in NCAA. 
 

Also really like our backfield. 

Blake Corum had 212 All-Purpose Yards.

I'll take that and more, please.

hasta la vista, baby

No doubt about it:

Jay Harbaugh can recruit a RB.

Hope he wins it every week, happy he’s getting it done while closer to his hometown. 

Hey did you know that I am happy for Zac C., but honestly I only care about the guys who play for Michigan. 

I knew who had posted this as soon as I saw what it was about.

Happy that Zach is finding success at UCLA. 

Zach will likely continue to find success at UCLA as the season progresses, barring injury. 

UCLA might end up having a good season for the first time in years. 

Perhaps consider celebrating this on a UCLA message board going forward. 

Here ya go, Zeke:

How many more Zach Charbonnet posts are we going to have to endure?

Because the subtext of each one is a criticism of Jim Harbaugh and/or the rest of the coaching staff.

Players transfer.  It happens...for a variety of reasons.  And while Michigan has had maybe a larger-than-average number of transfers over the past five years, the fact is that the vast majority transfer because of the lack of playing time...and end up at smaller schools and/or less successful programs.  

We have a stacked RB room.  Let it go.  Let it go.  Let it goooooo.  

He looks like a completely different player this year. Injuries must have hobbled him during his time here more than we knew.

I'm happy he's doing well and happy with our RBs, but it frustrating how uneven Michigan recruiting has been at times where we have a log jam of talent at one position but a five alarm fire at others. 

He'll put up good numbers there, but ucla will lose to a few under dogs like always. 

I'm happy for Charbonnet but it's pretty clear he'd be fighting for carries at UM so it was a smart move to head out.

I would also add that LSU's defense looked...rough in this game.  There may not be a ton of tough defenses in the Pac-12 so it may not matter but LSU definitely feels like a team under Orgeron that is going to be mediocre on defense despite having great talent.  Like, they were 124th last year in total defense and while they'll be better this year because they were absurdly inexperienced last year (almost as inexperienced as UM), they looked like the same poor-tackling team I saw last year.

Ezekiel's Creatures??? More like Charbonnet's Fluffer.

I'm happy he's found an uncrowded RB room and seems to have a stranglehold on the September Heisman. But do we need an update every week?

Several years ago, I met a lady at my college roommate's wedding who I was really sweet on, but it didn't work out largely because of loving in different states.  However she met someone a few years ago and married him and I'm really happy for her and I am gonna make an MGoThread about it if it's not too OT

Personally I'm a fan of hearing how the transfers are doing, so long as Michigan is winning. So long as the QBs and RBs we retained are kicking butt, it's nice to hear those who transfered out are doing well, unless they've bad mouthed Michigan. 

I’m glad he’s having success. I’d also prefer the combination of Haskins/Corum/Edwards to having those 3 plus Charbonnet. This is one of those win/win situations. 

The Pac Ten must really suck if 117 yards rushing and 1 TD is the top offensive performer.

"The Terminator"? So we are not only making weekly threads about ZC, but giving him nicknames now as well? 

Charbonnet projected to be a very good collegiate running back.  Unfortunately things didn't materialize for him at Michigan.  I am not surprised that he appears to be taking his game to the next level now at UCLA.

Jesus Christ, man. Enough is enough. 

I'm sure he will eventually have a bad game and all the folks who don't wanna hear about Charbonnet will be sure to let us know about it. ;)

Honestly, transfers happen all the time and it's pointless to obsess about it. But I think with Charbonnet (and with McCaffrey too), it's a simple trust issue. If you trust your coaching staff, you figure there must have been good reasons for why things happened the way they did, and you move on. If you don't trust them, well that becomes a little harder, so these transfers have to some extent become symbolic for the staff's judgment.

As with everything else, success will be the ultimate indicator though. If Michigan wins 10 games then all that will be forgotten including Charbonnet. But if we go 7-6 or something, and Charbonnet has a good season at UCLA then, fairly or unfairly, it will be seen as another nail in the coffin of the current coaching regime.

Good Lord, man.  Give it a rest.  

Michigan vs UCLA in the Rose Bowl.  Book it.

Let's pretend Charbonnet doesn't leave. Who do you want him taking carries away from on our current team?

Good for him.  RB Room was over-crowded here.  He clearly made the best decision for himself.
