Rewatch Snowflakes
I'll start: the OL was uneven, but some of the issues are things that I think they will fix. But the biggest blocking problem that Michigan had was Jake Butt, who got blown out several times. They're not going to be able to run behind him.

Speaking of that, there's a full game post on the board right now. There's also someone who posts torrents usually on Monday or Tuesday, if I am not mistaken, to pick up the stragglers, of which there are always a few typically, or for those who watch the game 3-4 times at least, because this MGoBlog and we have those people too.
Never a problem finding full games.....going back quite a ways, in fact.

Also a tip for YouTube: you can filter results for stuff uploaded in the past day, week, etc. and also for long videos (>20 minutes) if you're looking for a full game.

Speight looked better the longer he went although o'korns drive was impressive. You could see as the game went on Wilton making his reads and progressions quicker and not taking that extra half second to make sure like he did on first two drives post-INT. Okorn looks like he has more zip but obviously Harbaugh questions his decision making in practice and I. Harbaugh I trust.
MCDOOM and Evans is just an injection of speed into the offense that we've been missing for a while. From a schematic point, MCDOOM is fascinating and I can't wait to see what Harbaugh does to play off other teams jumping on the assumption that those fly sweeps are coming.

MCDOOM and Evans were fun to watch and so unexpected. I remember watching Jalen Marshall two years ago tear everyone up and ask myself......why can't we get one of those? Really cool to see a lot of really good athletes on this team.

The hype so rarely comes to fruition that it was still unexpected for me to see Evans look so good. I expected him to not look lost but not anything like what he ended up showing.

The defense only scored 12.
September 4th, 2016 at 6:25 PM ^
it's even worse than you think
Just rewatched, it wasn't even the defense that scored, it was just two individual players playing defense.
Rest of Defense = 0 points

Wait - are you the same guy I suggested photoshop Ahmir out of this pic and add a corn cob pipe?
Or did you see that and jump on it?
Either way - thanks!

Football is a numbers game. When you go empty and send five guys out on a pattern, the blocking and rushing patterns change, don't they? How many teams Michigan will face are planning to commit five guys blocking against Michigan's front without any help with five guys out on a pattern? Not even OSU does that.
I mean making this about a beauty contest instead of winning and losing is pretty ridiculous. It's like saying we were OK, but not perfect. Why can't we be perfect? Because the other team has guys who have talent, can play and are willing competitors. Things went well because the guys played well, not perfect.

I'm rewatching now...
My takeaways are Patrick and Cunningham are still painfully bad at their jobs. Michigan is very good. Hawaii is not very good.

I was thinking Ed Cunningham is terrible early in the 1st Qtr and then he makes this fully uninformed comment - what a dick comment to make. That really pissed me off. Especially after all the great things we hear all year about JD's character.
September 4th, 2016 at 6:26 PM ^
I literally put it on mute once Evans scored diving to the pylon and they spend the entire review looking at his wrist and never once mentioned where the ball was when his write hit the ground. Who gives a shit if his hand is out of bounds if the ball is across the end line....dumbass.
Cunningham also speculated a questionable catch without seeing a reply twice in the first half and neither of them were even close to being incomplete.
Patrick calls Speight "Wilson" before he ever throws a pass in the game.
The Lewis speculation was terrible. I had NO idea Mone got hurt, but I knew Harbaugh's thoughts on Chris Evans because they said it 4 times in 4 carries.
They were bad in the Citrus Bowl...this was even worse.
...Why can't they not find anyone who can talk good for the games?
September 4th, 2016 at 5:04 PM ^
Did anyone else catch them saying that they remembered Bret Musbergers call of Charles Woodsons punt return? Ah, i think that was Keith Jackson you guys. The greatest college football voice ever. Ed Cunningham is a long, long ways from that.
September 4th, 2016 at 5:39 PM ^
Yes there was that and then there was him criticizing Speight for getting the slant to Chesson out too late when it was clear that Speight took the snap and got that ball out as fast as he possibly could. Then there was Grant Newsome, who "played TE last year". Cunningham was terrible.

I also thought it was pretty crappy to tell viewers to change the channel because there was a more interesting game going on.
September 4th, 2016 at 4:22 PM ^
September 4th, 2016 at 4:52 PM ^
Right!?
As to the OP's point, how about we let Jake Butt do what he's so great at and run behind someone else?
That's what I'd do
