We needed 2.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:41 PM ^
We need everything we can get today lol
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
I was planning to start this one because I started the BYU thread last week and figured I still may have the magic touch.
We ever had a 4th quarter thread?!
/joking.
I really couldn't care less...and I'm half asleep watching this snoozefest.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:53 PM ^
Hmmm...UM didn't score in the 2nd half last week. Just relax till the 4th pal.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:55 PM ^
And got RIPPED for it last week. Never start a 2nd half thread when the team is playing that great.
Offense couldn't score again and Smith also got hurt.
My joke stands, pal.
October 3rd, 2015 at 2:43 PM ^
You're welcome ;)

you think Haurbaugh has been reading The Art of War?
October 3rd, 2015 at 2:18 PM ^
Jim Harbaugh? Yeah... at least twice.
October 3rd, 2015 at 2:22 PM ^
I think he wrote the Art of War. In a previous life.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:45 PM ^
Rudock needs a boost of confidence at half.

when he's thrown and rolled out. It's that run up the middle all day that is killing us
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:46 PM ^
What's especially impressive for the defense is that they have done this without Stribling, and with Hill getting injured.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:46 PM ^
I've got a bad feeling that if we don't get a TD next half, we're going to see some Will Likely punt return miracle with 2 mins left in the 4Q to see a miserable 7-6 finish to this game.

Please keep your bad feelings to yourself.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:56 PM ^
That's Home era ball. I believe this staff can make the necessary adjustments on offense.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:59 PM ^
Shut your damn pie hole sir!
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
Jake Rudock needs to play the second half.
Also, I'm now slightly worried about playing Northwestern.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:49 PM ^
& Ball State? NW sucks, and we get them at home.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
UM's offense is a work-in-progress as we are seeing today.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:59 PM ^
Am slightly concerned. The NW defense is good and we can't get a TD to save our lives today. I still think we win both games, but NW could be close.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:52 PM ^
Maryland got blown out by WV last week....I wouldn't count on that Ball State game as an indicator
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:57 PM ^
NW is also shutting out Minnesota 13-0 in the third quarter. Minn may not play much offense, but this is still an impressive outing for NW.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
Has there been a change to the fair catch rule? I thought you had to wave your hand over your head but they called the Peppers thing a fair catch and they just did the same thing in the Wisconsin game.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:53 PM ^
The ref said he made an illegal fair catch signal (by extending his arms outward in front and pointing at the ball) which is stupid. No one could have possibly mistaken that for a fair catch signal.

Matt Millen could.

Has to be due to that guy a year or two ago that only waved his arm once instead of twice, stopped, then ran after the defense turned away
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Thank god actual coaches are in the locker room making adjustments
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Anyone know why NW dressed up like the Washington Huskies today? What's the significance of the gold in the uni's?
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:54 PM ^
The same reason Mich st has gold in their alternates

Would love for Iowa to beat Wisconsin. Sick of seeing Wisconsin in the BTCG. Not that any other team from that division will fair better...
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:49 PM ^
Maryland: 68 total yards
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
this whole "we're gonna run it down your throat and you know it and you won't be able to stop it" stuff still is enough to run an offense in this day and age. This half was a wake-up call.
Not that I think Jim Harbaugh really thinks that, but some here apparently thought Michigan could just tank its way through defenses on a magical run to the playoffs. We can't run it on Maryland. Maryland.
It's a work in progress.
October 3rd, 2015 at 2:02 PM ^
What Harbaugh did at Stanford. Not immediately, but it happened. Just as it will here.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
Might be a bit over confident, but with our defense we may not have to score again. Maryland is not getting anything today!
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
I have confidence in this Staff's ability to adjust
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:51 PM ^
Liked the fake kick cause I was saying to myself just kick it out of bounds. So, paid 4 for the chance to get the ball back. That's not a bad tradeoff.
This game has been lethargic.
Man, there are a lot of good defenses/bad offenses in the B1G. Iowa and Wisky is 10-3 in the 3rd. It looks like NW is going to score again Minny.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:52 PM ^
Texas LOL down 37-0 at the half.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:55 PM ^
My neighbor is a big Texas fan. I'll have to do a welfare check later on.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:52 PM ^
Defense is as advertised.
Offensively I think they're a little conservative and today they've been very sloppy. They really miss De'Veon Smith in a lot of subtle ways.
Blitz pickup has been bad and numerous other things have also been pooty tang.
O-Line has really smelled badly today. Not a good 1st half for that group.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:55 PM ^
subtle ways" Was thinking similarly. Not sure, but it seems like our O sputtered this way in the 2ND half of BYU after his injury.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:52 PM ^
Can't figure out why we can't run the ball.
October 3rd, 2015 at 2:03 PM ^
a competent D will stop any standard running game if they sell out on it unless you have a really really elite back.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:52 PM ^
The defense is horrid. But when our defense is great, our offense is horrid. We can't win.
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:56 PM ^
Did you sleep through the BYU game?
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:53 PM ^
the bus the offense was riding in makes it to the stadium in time for the 2nd half. :(
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:55 PM ^
the ball to start Q3, right?
October 3rd, 2015 at 1:56 PM ^
Yes

I'd love an explanation from the mggocerebellum what the staff saw that they'd think it would be sucessful and why it's not.
