Indiana Snowflakes: The Offense

So what happens to Nordin going forward?
November 17th, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
transfers to California Penal League
November 18th, 2018 at 1:36 PM ^
So all Nordin needs is glasses with a little skull on them? #wildthing #hesstillshitty

In my opinion, he’s out of a job. Kid has got a hell of a leg and will always have the distance, but nearly every kick of his this season has been an adventure.
Moody was money tonight. Barring injury or a total meltdown in Columbus next week, this is his job now.
November 17th, 2018 at 11:13 PM ^
What do you think Moody can hit from as far as distance?
November 18th, 2018 at 8:02 AM ^
Announcers were saying he holds (or is tied for) the longest kick in Michigan HS history, which I think was about 57. Factoring in different conditions and rules, seems like he should be able to go to at least mid-40's, but that is basically a total guess.
November 17th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
Do we know why JBB was out?
November 17th, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
Got the win today and that’s what matters, but if we have to settle for FGs again next week, we will lose.
Next week is Judgment Day for Shea. He’s been very good this year. Next week, he’s going to have to be great. This is why he was brought here. He’s managed games very well for Michigan. Now, he’s likely going to have to lead Michigan to victory.

Evans is not a big ten rb and should not be used as such. My goodness its almost as if the coaches don't know that they can use evans in space. Runs up the middle are so stupid. Give Tru those snaps FFS
November 18th, 2018 at 1:32 AM ^
I agree Tru has looked really good lately (possibly seeing holes better than any back right now).
November 18th, 2018 at 9:45 AM ^
I watched a bunch of 2016 game highlights recently and Evans just isn't the back he started as. He's become a tweener with his mass gains and it appears to stalled his production a bit. I feel like 90% of the time he carries he's tried to juke a guy open field and cost himself yards because he's just not as quick as he used to be. He looks slow and does it way too early to be able to accelerate past a guy who has time to adjust.

I wouldn’t read much into today’s game. Watch the game again (bless PS Vue). Every time we got in RZ, we reverted to run, sneak, or short passes on shoot-outs. Or, everything we’ve already shown OSU staff this year. My gut sense is they have a ton of plays ready to roll-out but don’t want to give Urban anything to prepare for. The important part—getting the ball down the field—we did. And we won a trap game. Things are ok. Just praying for Winovich and Berk.
November 17th, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
AS a fan base don’t we use the “wait to roll it out for OSU” overused? I think by now we are what we are. I feel we say that all the time acting like Harbaugh isn’t pretty vanilla. End of day no secret. Establish the run to setup play action pass.
November 18th, 2018 at 12:23 AM ^
I don’t think so. Look at 2017 OSU game. I think offense actually schemed out a pretty good (and new) plan. JOK just wasn’t really good enough. We will see. But given how bland the red zone calling was today, and the willingness to run on 3rd & 5ish, I think they didn’t want to give away much. We’ll know in seven days!
November 18th, 2018 at 8:04 AM ^
The fact that last year's game was even close with JOK gives a decent insight into that they did throw out quite a few wrinkles. Seems like every other teams saves up special stuff for us, so makes sense that we would do the same to them.
November 17th, 2018 at 11:50 PM ^
We are going to get horse-whipped next Saturday if we play anything like we did tonight.
Spoiler: OSU is a lot better than Indiana at what Indiana does.
Oh by the way, we're potentially missing our best D-Lineman and our left tackle now.
November 18th, 2018 at 8:55 AM ^
Left tackle?
November 18th, 2018 at 2:51 PM ^
Both teams will be jacked up. There won’t be a letdown. Both teams will “want it”, and both will show up. OSU will certainly be energized by playing at home, and Michigan will be energized to prove they’re a great team.
I think our defense will be the difference-maker, ultimately, because the old saw that defense wins championships is a proven thing.
And their defense is less scary than it’s been in a very long time.
I also think we missed JBB in the red zone and on other running plays. I hope he and Winovich can play next week.
November 18th, 2018 at 1:29 AM ^
My hope is Tarik plays a bigger role against OSU. I just have this feeling our WRs are gonna get theirs in a big way next Saturday.
November 18th, 2018 at 1:33 AM ^
Official shout out to Mike Hart, RBs coach for IU. I wish he was on Michigan's staff. I don't think their freshman RB is a fluke. Felt like Hart was on his revenge tour vs Michigan for not hiring him. Dude was fired up.
November 18th, 2018 at 1:46 AM ^
Job one from Penn State, get to Ohio State healthy, with 3 more wins and put relatively little of anything new on film.
Job done.
November 18th, 2018 at 1:54 AM ^
I'm looking forward to a healthy dose of M running back vs OSU corner at the edge. Let WR's crash in, leave either OSU corner unblocked and bounce their way.
November 18th, 2018 at 2:23 AM ^
The offense move fairly well between the 20s...but we need to score more TDs in the redzone; especially on the road against OSU who may end up scoring some points on our D.
November 18th, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
So, is Red Zone Offense still not real?
November 18th, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
I don’t necessarily believe it is, I just think a team that Slowly grinds down the field with 10 play drives is more likely to make a mistake than an explosive team that scores quickly
November 18th, 2018 at 1:34 PM ^
Even though the 2 minute drill at the end of the first half ended poorly, I was encouraged that there actually seemed to be a plan. The team got to the line quickly and had plays ready, unlike the Notre Dame game
November 18th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
The offense was pretty vanilla. Wondering if Harbaugh was holding back a bit for next week.
I’m glad to see Black back but for all the hype about his hands, he let one slip right thru his hands. I suppose he’s rusty.
I’m just happy to get the W. Indiana seems to always play us so tough.
I was somewhat surprised at Indiana’s dirty play. It was MSU like. Never knew them to play like that before. Lots of nasty late hits.
On to Columbus. With 2017 as a backdrop, I’m thrilled with the way this season has gone. It’s been so much fun. We beat MSU and have a chance to beat OSU. GO BLUE!
