OSU Snowflakes - The Offense
November 24th, 2018 at 4:12 PM ^
Ohio's biggest weakness was their pass D. We have 3 4 star or better wide receivers.
We come out and run an offense from the 60's.
I was tight end in high school and we ran the full house t and threw 4 times a game. One of the plays we ran was the tight end boot leg almost as a joke if we were ever 3rd and long or as a surprise.
Harbaugh incorporates my high school offense from the mid 2000's and has his 5 star athletes run it.
Incredible
November 24th, 2018 at 4:12 PM ^
I can’t be the only one who thinks McCaffery may end up starting regardless if Patterson stays. He’s a good QB no doubt but his constant underthrows are mind boggling.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:21 PM ^
McCaffery will make it a serious competition in the offseason.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:21 PM ^
He was number three out of camp with a gap. He played after a peters injury against second stringers in games against teams we were clearly better than in every area, where our second stringers could beat their first team by 3 scores.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:39 PM ^
Patently false.
Family member on the team and this couldn’t be any further from the truth in regards to the conclusion of fall camp.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:50 PM ^
Are you saying McCaffery was a close 2nd team coming out of camp?
November 24th, 2018 at 5:54 PM ^
McCaffrey WAS the 2nd team qb. He was first off the bench and looked great.
November 24th, 2018 at 11:35 PM ^
I think he sees the field (reads the defense) better than Patterson
and does a better job getting the ball to the open man.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:12 PM ^
In-fucking-ept
Play calling was just mind bogglingly bad. What happened to the read option?
November 24th, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^
Maybe 3 zone reads all day and not one RPO? Am I wrong?
November 24th, 2018 at 4:41 PM ^
The dropped pass by Gentry in the endzone was an RPO.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:56 PM ^
And it was a beautifully designed play. Maybe the only one of the day.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^

November 24th, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^
OP of the fire the entire offensive staff thread that got deleted is okay that we just gave up the second most points in program history and says it’s still all the offenses fault we lost
November 24th, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
This is a troll who wants this staff removed. Regardless of this game, this team is way better than last year. No one is getting fired but Don Brown's defensive game plan better be one that people take a serious look at. He gets defensive in his interviews and says he'll walk but when has his press man coverage stopped a good spread offense. He needs to learn a zone and learn how to install it.
November 25th, 2018 at 4:21 AM ^
Absolutely true. They better learn some zone and zone man and master it. Going man all day long is not going to work unless your d line can get some pressure and it never did. We looked like amateurs out there and at least could have put more speed on the field. Devin Gil got burned multiple times. Thought we should have had another safety on the field rather than an LB.
November 25th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
Totally agree. Middle of the osu game is not a good time to try playing zone for the first time. Brown acts like not playing man is an affront to his manhood.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:30 PM ^
Shut the fuck up
November 24th, 2018 at 4:33 PM ^
Seeya in Bolivia glowingblue
November 24th, 2018 at 4:15 PM ^
The offense did what it could. It’s not elite but it put some points on the board. Couldn’t hang in a shootout and lacks big play ability which seems to be necessary in this day and age.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:32 PM ^
Disagree. Offense turtled until is was way too late
November 24th, 2018 at 4:34 PM ^
I disagree, I believe we have players with big play ability, however, our offensive scheme limits there chances to show that ability.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:16 PM ^
Is this thread going to get deleted too with all the rest?
November 24th, 2018 at 4:16 PM ^
Say what you want about play calling, which I have some doubts about, but Nico, DPJ, Higdon, and Patterson are ballers. Shea did not have a great day and took too many hits. We got beat on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:23 PM ^
Yes they are, but what we're running doesnt play to their strengths AT ALL. The routes they're running they get no separation at all. They're just going to be wasted here.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:47 PM ^
Agree, would have like to see more plays to DPJ and Nico. Not sure Shea had enough time for them though.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
Shea was under center way too much
November 24th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
Peters should have been starter day one of last year. Aaron Rodgers couldn’t have done better with last year’s offense. He has by far the highest ceiling on the team and easily the best arm overall. Milton can throw it a mile, but couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat. Shea didn’t have the arm strength nor the calmness needed to play with this line. The line and scheme were better than last year, and that wasn’t saying much. Peters would have given us a deep threat because he wouldn’t underthrow every single open receiver and he didn’t get happy feet in the pocket like Shea and JOK did. He was always calm and threw to the open guy. Shea would just completely miss open targets and either scramble for a sack or force a throw that was almost always incomplete. Harbaugh f***** up with Brandon. If by some miracle he stays, we’ll be much better next year. But he most likely leaves and hopefully harbaugh didn’t mess with his head so badly that he never plays up to his potential.
People predictably negging it. I was right about lewerke and mcsorely. Was right about Shea being a guy who had happy feet and not a strong arm and that he wasn’t gonna be an upgrade at qb, even with better line play, playcalling, and receiver separation than last year, which isn’t saying anything.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
The offense deserves a lot of criticism. Should have done a lot more in the first half against a bad OSU defense. Coaching changes are needed. With that said, 30+ points should be more than enough when you supposedly have the best defense in football. The offense wasn't the reason why Michigan lost.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
We only put up points when OSU went soft coverage up by two plus scores like the Lions...the game plan was trash.

November 24th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
Everyone on offense, coaching staff, players, everyone, should walk into the locker room, stare into the mirror, and ask, "what the fuck is your problem?"
Dropped passes, lousy throws, piss-poor blocking, and most of all, a gameplan comprised of maybe three different plays. I am not a hair-trigger fire-someone kind of fan, but Pep could be shown the door tonight and it wouldn't bother me one bit.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:18 PM ^
"Special plays just for OSU" my fucking ass. Douchebags
November 24th, 2018 at 4:18 PM ^
Well, that was a three-plus hour punch to the soul dong.
I did, however, thoroughly enjoy Joe "Unleash the Dragon" Milton doing his best Rex Grossman impersonation during the fourth quarter.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:18 PM ^
Offense couldn't do shit when it mattered.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
Lots of negative things, but give credit to DPJ and Collins, especially. Those two showed up. No one else on offense showed up at all. Oline, TE, QB, and RBs all sucked
November 24th, 2018 at 4:43 PM ^
Troll much ? Get a life loser.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:28 PM ^
Lololololololol lololololololol
November 24th, 2018 at 4:35 PM ^
I'm sorry, did you say something?
November 24th, 2018 at 4:25 PM ^
DPJ and Nico Collins are dudes. It's great to have them back next year.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
Pretty sure we can all agree its time to bring our offense into the 21st century
We will never ever win anything meaningful when we struggle to move the ball so much.
Under Harbaugh its considered a good game when our QB passes for over 200 yards which shows how much of a joke our offensive scheme is
And of course fire Pep Hamiltons worthless ass. Im not seeing a single thing he's brought to the table other than horrible playcalling
November 24th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
Ahhhhhhhahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaah!
November 24th, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
Run, run, pass. Repeat.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
Nothing on first down and didn't eat clock. Field position was horrible. Too many easy points for OSU based on field position. Several people thought that Gentry would have a big day and that didn't happend. I love the Michigan wide receivers. All of them. I wish Shea put the ball deep for them more often and let the WR either catch it or knock it down. I don't know enough of play calling with respect to the offensive line but it seems that we did nothing to try to get their defense out of position. I don't know, I don't know, I don't recall. I cannot explain. Haskins has amazing understanding of the pocket and Shea does not have that knowledge. Do we have any designed quick throws or does our stacking the line with TEs prevent the slant? Where was the triple WR diamond thing? Or any other thing?
November 24th, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
If RPO was the plan and never got anywhere, how about true Bo with I formation. 2-3 yards a run would at least wear the D down.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
We scored 39 points people, made some mistakes and could have scored over 50
The offense was NOT the problem, even with wasting too many plays on runs up the gut.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:43 PM ^
You're just looking at the 39 points and not really focusing on the overall performance of the offense.
Some of our points came after the game was pretty much decided.
November 24th, 2018 at 4:37 PM ^
Jim Harbaugh is overrated
November 24th, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
What is Harbaugh's rating and who rated him?
November 24th, 2018 at 4:40 PM ^
My last snowflake: The OL was not good this year. Steuber was getting worked regularly; the interior could not hold up. People gripe about a lot of runs but one of the reasons they were bad is that Michigan's OL was not giving the RBs space (RPS had something to do with that too).
Disappointing outing from the OL. Trenches were a disaster in this game.
