It wouldn't be Michigan football unless the other team inexplicably played out of their minds. 2 1/2 quarters of offensive incompetence is......troubling.

We can't almost lose to one of the worst teams in football for 3 weeks in a row!

Oh, I don't know. Have you seen the Bye Week's stats? They're basically all zeros. You could not suck more than that.
And yet, the Bye Week will play out of it's mind and we'll sleepwalk like there is not even a game scheduled.
I think it will come down to the last play again.

Minnesota is going to roll into town with bad QBs and a pro-style running attack. Should be just the tune up we need, we do not do well against these passing spreads.
However, "just the tune up we need" is also what I said before Akron and before UConn so what the hell do I know. PANIC

Too soon?
I kid to avoid throwing things.
September 22nd, 2013 at 12:28 AM ^
I'm sure there will be 4 or 5 turnovers in practice. It's good to be consistent right?
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:05 AM ^
twice this year, so I'm going with an average of 2. I hear BYE is terrible. Worse than Akron.

Would not be shocked to see Minnesota pegged as a slight favorite in two weeks.

but it wouldn't remotely surprise me if Berkley Edwards plays and runs for 200 yards. That's just how this season seems to be going—regardless of how crappy our opponent appears to be based on their record, they play out of their minds against us, and it doesn't appear as though there's much of a differential in physical talent between us and them.
September 22nd, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
If every opponent is playing out of their minds against us, maybe we're the ones out of our minds.
September 22nd, 2013 at 3:38 PM ^
We used this excuse during the Rod era too. And isn't everyone playing their minds out against 'Bama, or Boise State even? It's not an excuse - good teams put bad teams away. We aren't doing that. As of right now, this team is not a good team. But they've shown promise so let's hope they mature fast.

2 - get Bryant some reps
3 - reinstate pos/negs

Defense was relatively good, offense was the side of the ball doing the melting down.

We're supposed to get the moderation system back during the bye week...so there's that.
September 22nd, 2013 at 4:09 AM ^
Not sure if it's shock or what, but I'm not even panicked... I'm actually surprised we've survived unscathed, and I do think there's actual talent on the offensive line that simply needs time to gel.
Derrick Green needs to get his ass in shape so we have another backfield option.
Also, it's really feeling more and more like Devin's just pressing. He's getting so impatient with the lack of success that it's just throwing the offense just enough off to make it feel like a collossal disaster.
I honestly think this is a situation where we're not as bad as we've played the last 2 weeks, and we're not as good as the team that steamrolled Central and knocked off ND.
September 22nd, 2013 at 8:45 AM ^
I'm sick of Hoke being so non-chalant about everything. This is a big deal. Gardner is playing worse than denard. The only thing we can do is run the qb option. Our O-line got pushed around it 3.5 quarters against Uconn and all game against Akron! What is happening? What happened to all those mean, physical O-linemen Hoke was recruiting?! Where's the physicality with our fronts?! I guess we all need to take a step back and analyze what's really going on. Perhaps we are just a 7 win team? Perhaps we will get crushed by MSU and OSU? Perhaps this is not reality and everything we saw is in the matrix? Who knows... I'm freaking out. That's all I know.

how we beat Notre Dame? They must be terrible. Also, I feel Central could have made a better showing against us.
September 22nd, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
I swear half of it is Notre Dame freaking out from previous losses and not realizing that they actually can beat us.
If ND was the 4th game on this year's schedule and not the 2nd, they'd have crushed us.
Just observing how to properly defend DG on the Waggle would have been worth 14 points for them alone.
September 22nd, 2013 at 11:46 AM ^
We are 112th in TO margin and the offense has given up a TD in 3 straight games. Gardner still has not completed a game without an int. Hopefully that gets fixed.
