I’m gonna ask the question that no one wants to. If harbaugh is a “QB guru” how come our quarterbacks continually suck? And why does our OL consistently blow when that is supposed to be an area of emphasis?
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:04 PM ^
The OL is the biggest red flag imo. Drevno was supposed to be making this a team’s strength yet it continues to be a weakness year after year.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
Yeah, third straight year it's the obvious weakest link. This year the WR/QB play haven't helped to disguise it either.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
Shiner Bock - this is the drinking thread right?
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
Our play calling is making Purdue's defense look amazing. The runs on first down is getting old. Change it up bro
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
On the plus side, I think O'korn has done a decent job so far.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
It was nice to see our QB drop back and deliver without bouncing around like a moron.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:04 PM ^
Evans seems to be somewhere else...where is his speed?
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
Hamilton maybe doesn't know how to coordinate a college offense? Maybe Drevno doesn't either?
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:22 PM ^
Agreed...they seem to want to force our guys into pro style plays but they can't do it....just make it easy on these guys and enough with the fucking crossing routes!
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
Outside of WR, Harbaugh has not been able to recruit/coach up RBs, QBs or an Oline.
This is 100% on him.
Changes have to be made starting with Drevno.
Idk what the hell Hamilton is doing either. Wheatley and Fisch are sorely missed.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
Surprise surprise. Cleveland Browns OC gets you Cleveland Browns production. Please come back Jedd!
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
The panic
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
than that is shit, The baseline should still be 9-3/10-2 not just making a fucking bowl.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:04 PM ^
for 29 yards. Presented without further comment.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
Dang. Just dang
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:24 PM ^
his window for patience.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
Look at those OSU highlights...JT Barrett is throwing quick passes and their athletes are going to work for TDs.
THEN when they start moving everyone up? HIT THE DEEP BALL.
But get the ball to McDoom, DPJ, Perry in space and keep the ball moving. RUN THE BALL OUT OF THE SHOTGUN!
Throw a screen pass for ONCE.
Swear to god, we have a ton of formations, but our plays are like a Tecmo Bowl playbook.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
I mean it's pretty obvious... Urban Meyer is best or second best coach in the country and it shows in his adjustments on a week to week basis.
Michigan for some reason loves to historically bang its head into a wall.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:27 PM ^
a glorified high school offense but he uses it to leverage his athletes. He just keeps it simple and relies on superior talent.
We are in year 3 with Harbaugh and no ability to simply beat the socks off an opposing defense with a pulse.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
We have a long tradition of NOT taking the easy yards even when the opposing D begs us too....still remember the bubble screen fiasco with Gorgeous Al Borges.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
A young team will feed off a coaches body and facial expressions and there head coach isnt a ball of confidence on the sidelines.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
Kick the f'ing ball already. I'm sick of hearing an upset is brewing. Shove the ball down their throat!
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
Are you serious?? We shoved the ball 21 times for like 30 yards total. We can’t run it.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
Throw to the backs more? I know we need more help blocking, but a quick pass to a back in space negates the fact that our blocking is equal to a pile of sandbags that they can just avoid?
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
I don't get it. The OL has been awful, and I mean AWFUL for the better part of a decade. We recruit almost as well as anyone. I don't understand how we can't put at least a serviceable line on the field.
This line is almost as bad as it was under Hoke. Meanwhile Brohm comes in year 1 and turns a fucking disaster into a decent product. He needed less than a year and three years in the offense has gotten worse and worse.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:08 PM ^
Purdue is 2-1... relax bro.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:07 PM ^
Harbaugh has the first 10-win seasons to start his era since Fielding Yost. Let's give him some time. This year could still be good. This game isn't even over.
If not, the team will have gained valuable experience for next year.
We are playing with house money. I would like to see a complete team performance in the last part of the season.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
Offense has to get a lot better fast if we can reasonably expect to contend for a title next year like you'd think we should with our talent.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
He is the first to start his tenure with consecutive ten win seasons since Yost. In fairness they play more games now.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
That is not unacceptable. Harbaugh absolutely get's credit for those seasons but he also has to shoulder the blame for this offense looking like a shitshow against a defense that is still bad to mediocre at best.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
Shut Purdue out in the second half, force a turnover or two, etc.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:08 PM ^
I don't understand how the o-line can be this bad and make so many boneheaded mistakes
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
I want to blame Ulizio but Cole... barf
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
I think Harbaugh should try a chair throw...seems to have worked for Purdue
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:14 PM ^
The only option left
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
Crawford should be removed from that job.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
Start the half losing 10 yards. What the fuck.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:09 PM ^
Michigan is the winningest college football program in the country. That matters in this day and age, doesn't it?
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
Why take that out. You're five yards deep.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
And moving backwards, and hesitated.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
Really?? Crawford with a dumb play
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
I'm going to take a dump during this drive. I imagine I'll make more progress than the offense...
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
that we rip off.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
I seriously don't get it
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
What the fuck is Crawford doing? He has no speed!
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:12 PM ^
Dammit, you missed the coaches meeting on Wednesday -again.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
crawford is the return man? ughhhhhh
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
coming up!!
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
Crawford needs to stop returning
