First road game, so 110.000 more of us in front of our tvs and computers. People who never found any tv coverage can probably head to the Liveblog for quick updates. Bounce back day. Go Blue!

Sad thing is I don't know what we can do to win. Offense can't even complete a pass or get more than one yard running, defense is getting gashed left and right, special teams is a disaster etc. etc.

 

We just don't have the ability to do anything right. Uconn looks like the more talented team.

football the first two games. To simply say he sucks now is sophomoric. This is all about the confidence, and his is lacking. Will be very interested to see how he responds in the second half.

I noticed that he was tentative even before the INTs. His first completion to Fitz was late...then he had another completion to Funchess that was late. He hasn't been in the game all night. Go to Morris and see if his head is there...because that's where it is with Devin. It's 100% mental.

Morris Rawls/Hayes Gallon Chesson/Reynolds Dileo Williams Lewan Bryant/Braden Glasgow Kalis Schofield ...and if Kalis doesn't get better...move Schofield to RG and put Magnuson at RT.

We seem to play up (or in this case down) to the level of our opponent. This team is young and maybe hasn't been pushed to their talent level yet. The lines need much more experience against upper level talent to see how they should be playing.

I have officially lost my shit with this team. I knew this was gonna be a roller coaster ride this year, but this team doesn't get it. Not yet at least. The special teams and offense are absolutely terrible and inconsistent.

Devin better get his head out if his ass, and Al, I love you, but you suck ass right now. Fing run power and bowl these pansies off the field. No more zone stretch plays!!!!!!!!!!!'nnn

who didn't see this coming. you can't talk your way into being something you're not. we can't get pressure against 2 very bad teams with 5+, we can't run the ball aside from Devin, etc. At this rate, I'm not being hysterical because even if we come out in the 2nd half and play well, this team looks like a 6 win team right now and we're not getting better. As I said in the prediction thread, players can't talk themselves into being something they aren't. Miller isn't going to be Molk out of anger over barely it beating Akron. How many times have we heard "we won't pay like that again" and the like. Well, we are. This may be our team this year, sadly.

Lewan probably is regretting coming back to Michigan. Akron and now the first half of this game, he is looking bad. The whole line looks bad. Hopefully something snaps them back, but dang they suck...

I haven't been this pissed off in a long time. How the fuck does the leadership on this team let this happen?

I don't think they're not passionate.  Too many over reactions regarding they're urgency.  Someone needs to get fired though, and that's probably Mr. Funk.  Get rid of the Funk.

Our entire team, to a man, is in a shell right now. I can't remember ever seeing a whole team seize up so badly. At least under RR is was a talent deficit. We have no composure--even compared to a high school team.
