I too noticed that.
And yes, they do that here.

It's happened a couple of times - how could that have been missed?

early part of the century.
Then again, maybe you should calm the hell down.
I'd take top 15 offenses.

Would it not be better to have the outside linebacker just go straight to the outside and have the safety fill the whole to take on the quarterback? Seems like it would be more effective to me.

It's a traaaaaaap!
I.E. they'll kill you with inside runs all day if you commit to the alley. You don't want to do that against the option. Each individual play has a really obvious defensive counter. The only problem is you don't know which one is coming, so you have to play really vanilla.
September 8th, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
You have 2 timeouts use them!!!!
September 8th, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
That Devin Gardner's pretty good.

Hoke went to the Les Miles' school of time management I see.

that our horrible performance against Alabama wasn't solely because Alabama is so awesome.

True that. I expected 6-6 last year and was pleasantly wrong. Never dreamed of 10-2 and a BCS win. My fear was and is unrealistic expectations for this year, I saw us 7-5 but now I don't think 6-6 is or even a osing season is out of the question.
That said, still no question in my mind Hoke is the right guy and we will in time be Michigan again. But it will be 2014 before his guys will really be making a major impact.

Sadly, we're pretty much were I expected we would be at the half - struggling on D and inconsistent on offense. I do expect that we'll pick it up in the second half.

Having 1 week to prepare for the Option of the USAF, Smith tipping a sure 1st down, and Borges calling a bunch of Denard runs and Funchess passes. Coaching staff impressed me so far.
3rd Q will be telling for sure.

Michigan's crowd has historically been very vocal about how coaches should handle clock management decisions, particularly at the end of a half.
There was no booing there. There was no anxious buzz while it was happening. They are all still in "Brady is God" mode. Sad.

So does the right side of the OL.

Well at least Purdue just scored on ND.

That's all that there is to say. Gonna be a long season. OLine gettin pushed around by inferior competition. Don't even get me started in the defense, holy hell. Don't know how much more I can take of this. Is this even football?!

This is way too reminiscent of 2010. The only thing that made the defensive bleeding bearable was the thought of the offense getting the ball back. And then the offense inexplicably stalls out. Kills the spirit.
There's no excuse for the poor play from both our lines right now. We could be in for a much longer year than we anticipated. I'm afraid we've taken a step back on both sides of the ball.

Wandered over during the MSU game - there is quite a contrast between M-fans and the uniformed servicemen at M stadium. So I s'pose I agree with you.
Of course, there is that same contrast - to varying extents - wherever these guys go, EL included.
