I really have been giving Al so slack, GOOD NIGHT POUND THE BALL DOWN THEIR THROATSS
October 5th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
Michigan needs to be balanced, that has been lacking so far in this game and all season really.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
OH hell yeah!
October 5th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
Every time Minny commits a defensive penalty...we get a good enough play to decline it. Me likey.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
Moar Positives: Devin didnt panic and toss ball into the air instead of taking sack & lives to play another down, then throws TD pass. Take THAT pessimists!
October 5th, 2013 at 4:55 PM ^
And seemed disinclined to hold the ball like a loaf of bread (in contrast to Minny's QB on their first drive)
October 5th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
Funchess is a walking mismatch.... good to see we're looking for him more downfield in this game
October 5th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
I wonder if Funchess can play basketball....
October 5th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
And why haven't we been targeting Funchess more?!
October 5th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
Devin has been money through the air today, admit it.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:51 PM ^
Well, he's only thrown the ball downfield a couple times, and one was way behind Funchess who bailed him out.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:47 PM ^
It only took a year and a half to use him like that
October 5th, 2013 at 4:47 PM ^
Geesh only 14-7 over Minni. We are in another close one but maybe we are not way better than
the Gophers?
October 5th, 2013 at 4:47 PM ^
Just shut up.

'shopped.
October 5th, 2013 at 5:01 PM ^
Legit
October 5th, 2013 at 4:47 PM ^
Have been A bit off today. He needs to clean up that accuracy
October 5th, 2013 at 4:47 PM ^
Also he lined up at receiver, which quite frankly is where he belongs. Most corners are going to be so outsized that the speed isn't gonna be an issue, plus so many opposing DBs in this conference aren't blazers anyway
October 5th, 2013 at 4:47 PM ^
touchdown, lead at half (hopefully) and the ball back at the half? all this with minny controlling time of possession? I will take it
October 5th, 2013 at 5:08 PM ^
Right on
October 5th, 2013 at 4:47 PM ^
Alright D ... Hold.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:52 PM ^
No holding! No penalties at all!
October 5th, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
Just looking forward, DG still needs to stop putting the ball behind guys. That feels like his biggest area needed for improvement. Decent enough half. We are up. I won't freak out yet.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:52 PM ^
On at least one of those throws (the Funchess catch in Michigan territory), it looked like he was trying to avoid an underneath linebacker. I suppose that is excusable.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
Did we wake up? Should I stop drinking?
October 5th, 2013 at 4:51 PM ^
Yes.. But continue drinking
October 5th, 2013 at 4:51 PM ^
Don't do that. We are winning. Keep doing what you're doing.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
Two more stops and we get the ball to start the 2nd half.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
I'm sorry to be so pissy today but I so want a blowout.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:50 PM ^
Well, we scored on a short field the first possession, so that already put us behind in TOP.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:53 PM ^
We've had 4 drives. And scored TDs on two. Minn has had 5 and scored once. It's a weird game, but UM isn't playing terrible. Just need to tackle.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:58 PM ^
20 minutes for Minny and only 115 yards.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:51 PM ^
Solid end to the half. Get the ball back to start the second half, and it looks like we're starting to figure them out a little bit on defense.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:51 PM ^
Honestly, by far the biggest issue is yards after contact. Just need to tackle when they make contact, and Minn is shut down.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:55 PM ^
We scored 2 touchdowns on 4 possessions, one of which we were driving from the 1 yard line towards midfield and it was halted by the refs incompetency. Besides the one long drive given up by the defense, this game has NOT been all bad.
If this blog is for Michigan fans, we sure as hell need to start acting like it. Not that we have to pretend a bad team is good just because we're fans but cant we at least get to the second half before we walk out onto the ledge?
October 5th, 2013 at 4:58 PM ^
All the way
October 5th, 2013 at 5:01 PM ^
I think most of us are just sad that we don't have a good team this year after a whole offseason of anticipation.
October 5th, 2013 at 5:03 PM ^
Of course, we're all disappointed that we aren't bulldozing through opponents like Ohio is doing. But c'mon. You have to admit the negativity gets a little extreme
October 5th, 2013 at 5:07 PM ^
I think this is the real factor here. However, it's been a lot longer than an offseason that we've been a looking forward to having a good team, again.
October 5th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
We won 11 games and a BCS bowl two years ago. Are you incapable of enjoying anything?
October 5th, 2013 at 5:02 PM ^
2 of 4 on O, with 1 start on our 1 isn't bad at all.
October 5th, 2013 at 5:03 PM ^
First time here?
October 5th, 2013 at 5:05 PM ^
This is one of the few reasonable thoughts here. This team isn't really playing that poorly. Some good to build on definitely

Sorry couldn't start a separate post
October 5th, 2013 at 4:54 PM ^
No one is that happy right now, but if the defense can tighten up a bit and we can score a couple more times, win 28-7, 31-7, something like that... after the last two games, it's not that bad. Trying to talk myself into a more positive attitude I guess. Minny has nothing else to throw at us offensively, so the potential is there to do something along those lines I think.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:55 PM ^
This team is terrible. They shouldn't win 5 games. It's Minnesota for Christ sake. I'm tired if the wow factor with Blurred lines playing 3 times in a row mixes with a team that can't get a first down.
October 5th, 2013 at 4:57 PM ^
Dude. Take a step back and breathe. It'll be alright. Maybe you need to just sign off MGo, turn the TV off and take a walk.
