...is as much of a "tight end" as Funchess was. Dude's a giant WR.
October 17th, 2017 at 11:31 AM ^
White Funchess

The guy blocks worse than almost all michigan wr lol. But he is a match up problem for most teams. I think Hudson will be on him most the time.
Also, he lefy the indy gamewith an injury and went to the locker room. I did not see him come back. Anyone know the status there.
October 17th, 2017 at 10:34 AM ^
was also an inch away from being deflected by the LB
October 17th, 2017 at 2:36 PM ^
Given a clean pocket the guy can sling it.
October 18th, 2017 at 12:38 AM ^
Most QB look way better in a clean pocket.
October 17th, 2017 at 10:21 AM ^
Would love that Purdue QBR to return. Please John, find it within yourself.
I can't imagine where this team would be with a QB that could be in the 50-65 QBR range.

October 17th, 2017 at 10:55 AM ^
This input is appropriate. Well done!
October 17th, 2017 at 10:26 AM ^
I'm not too moved one way or the other by that table. While Michigan has not played the toughest schedule, Florida, IU and Purdue all have decent to good defenses.
Penn State has Akron and the hot doo-doo that is Georgia State pumping up McSorley's numbers. But the also have played Iowa, who is not hot doo-doo. What I'm driving at is that this is not an apples-to-apples comparison.*
*The table unfortunately cuts off last weekend's stats, which at least would show us the comparables on IU. But even that is a single data point.

This has certainly been the week for QB comparisons. So far I've seen the following (and it's only Tuesday).
Speight vs O'Korn (all)
Healthy Speight (pre-Iowa) vs O'Korn
Healthy Speight vs Injured Speight
O'Korn (Purdue version) vs O'Korn (all others)
O'Korn vs Speight vs Peters
O'Korn vs Peters
Peters vs coaching staff
O'Korn vs McSorely (all opponents)
O'Korn vs McSorely (common opponents)
O'Korn vs down and distance
O'Korn vs pressure
There's probably more (probably a LOT more) but those are the ones that come immediately to mind. I'd say we're probably done now but I definitely know better than that. More comparison's on the way boys!
October 17th, 2017 at 10:43 AM ^
Has there been an O'Korn vs bad weather? Feels like there has.
October 17th, 2017 at 10:48 AM ^
O'Korn versus Penn State (2016).
0/1. 0 yards. 0TDs. 0 INTs.
October 17th, 2017 at 11:25 AM ^
October 17th, 2017 at 11:59 AM ^
It was a joke, good lord man.
Yea, I'm a troll, I've been on this site for almost 5 years just to break out for 2017 Penn State week
Gotcha!!
October 17th, 2017 at 7:48 PM ^
Diabolical!
October 17th, 2017 at 11:46 AM ^
James Franklin versus Michigan (2014-2016)
Outscored 95-39. 0-3
October 17th, 2017 at 1:58 PM ^
I like this statistic and will now choose to irrationally ignore every other one I see or hear between now and Saturday night (looking at you, McSorley completion percentage).
October 17th, 2017 at 4:44 PM ^
James Franklin also 0-3 against timeouts.
It's probably much worse but I don't watch enough Penn State to know how lopsided this rivalry really is.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
O'Korn vs Everybody
October 17th, 2017 at 10:41 AM ^
McSorely a bitch.
October 17th, 2017 at 10:51 AM ^
McSorley has looked way more human against competent defenses (Iowa and IU) than I expected. If Barkley is held reasonably in check (I'm thinking around 150-175 yards of total offense, give or take a reception), then it falls on McSorley to drive the offense and that's a win for the defense.

Some other data (from NCAA Statistics):
Trace McSorely overall -
6 games, 130 / 194 for 1,597 yards, 4 INTs, 13 passing TDs, collegiate rating of 154.1
John O'Korn overall -
5 games, 42 / 85 for 563 yards, 4 INTs, 1 passing TD, collegiate rating of 106.8
According to their rankings for passing efficiency, that's the difference between #20 and #102 overall.

Your stats suck. Take your stats and go home...

Happy Valley will become sad valley once the Wolverines decide to bathe in the valley's postgame tears.
Please... this blog is holding me up on doing something very, very, very, important. Let me go and fulfill my primal destiny.
October 17th, 2017 at 11:09 AM ^
They good, we no.
October 17th, 2017 at 11:10 AM ^
Above average but not great? But I thought McSorely was a Heisman candidate?
October 17th, 2017 at 11:16 AM ^

October 17th, 2017 at 11:53 AM ^
There really is no comparison, McSorely is an All Big Ten QB. If he were on Michigan they'd be the conference champs.
October 17th, 2017 at 12:02 PM ^
October 17th, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
We'd take Mcsorely in a heart beat. When did we have even Mcsorely level QB play? Stop with Mcsorely is not good. Arm punt or no, he gets the ball to his playmakers and that is a good college QB.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:49 PM ^
We would take a few big ten qbs in a heartbeat. He is not one of them. He is not a drop back passer and is horrible under duress. He would have a simular or worst QBR as the two Michigan qbs with how the line was not picking up any pass rush stunts to begin the year.

Don't hijack, post that shit! Mgoblog is nothing if not for baseless speculation, rumor, innuendo, and anecdotes light on facts!

have you seen some of the threads here lately?
October 17th, 2017 at 12:43 PM ^
October 17th, 2017 at 2:50 PM ^
Well your friend is right.
That is all.
October 17th, 2017 at 12:25 PM ^
... I agree PSU is overrated, but there is no way we win this game if O'korn plays in the same range as he's played in 3 of 4 of his meaningful minute games. Our run game isn't good enough, we'll lose field position battles, and our defense will break a couple times.
I'm going with 20-13, in a game that doesn't feel as close as the score.
October 17th, 2017 at 12:32 PM ^
They have a better QB than us. HOPEFULLY!!!
GO BLUE!!
October 17th, 2017 at 12:34 PM ^
NOOOO!!!...
We all know we have a crappy QB fergodsakes!!

Both OL's suck big time. This game is going to be brutal:
