Shane Morris looked good in MACtion last night
I was suprised no one commented in the MACtion open thread, but Sugar Shane completed 14/22 passes for 297 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran the ball 8 times for 50 yards. He looked confident, poised, and all grown up leading CMU over KSU 42 -23. Wish his time at UM was more successful, but glad to see him doing well elsewhere. Can't help but wonder what could have been....

he could've thrown 6 interceptions vs MSU
November 15th, 2017 at 6:26 PM ^
Brady could have thrown 9 INTS vs MSU
The Golden State Warriors will lose all the rest of their games this year
Red Wings will win out and win the Stanley Cup
Rutgers will flip every top 50 recruit this class and become the greatest football team in history

albeit unknown to any man of any kind. well done.
November 15th, 2017 at 7:13 PM ^
You might be on to something.
Are you well respected in Vegas?
November 15th, 2017 at 6:22 PM ^
I'm glad to read he's having some success, and appreciate the OP's post here. Let's remember, though, that we're talking about a game against 2-9 Kent State. That does little to answer the question about "what could have been" had he stayed.
The main thing, though, is that he's having some success and ending his college football career on a good note. I hope he has a great finish to his season and stays healthy.

He is at the right place, and improving with game experience. Good for him.

playing well and putting together a very nice season. The other day it did leave me thinking I wonder if he would be playing right now for us if he was still here and how he would be doing? Would he had been playing in front of JOK this year.
Shane showed some flashes at times, just could never put it all together, but maybe if he had played against Rutgers and Maryland and had good success he might have gained some confidence and been playing well also.
But, I'm excited about the future with Peters and glad he's playing well and getting valuble experience which will help next year.

and wish him the best. But, let’s not make this anymore than what it is. His stats this season aren’t other worldly. He’s just a guy, he’s not a dude. If he leads them to a MAC title, which is not likely given their two losses, I will show myself out.
November 15th, 2017 at 7:25 PM ^
He may not be a Dude, but last night he was sporting a pretty good mustache game.
November 15th, 2017 at 8:29 PM ^
But the passes were not amazing if that makes any sense. I did watch most of it
November 15th, 2017 at 6:57 PM ^
We’d be undefeated and ranked #1 if we still had SugarShane & RichRod!!!
November 15th, 2017 at 7:30 PM ^
you're half-right
November 15th, 2017 at 7:03 PM ^
Does this mean that a Borges-recruited QB will finally end his college career as the starter?? Or does Shane not count?
November 15th, 2017 at 7:06 PM ^
Shane is what he is, a decent by not great QB. People should have taken into account his pretty much all MAC offers other than us and not anointed him the savior. That being said, good to see him have success, and he's definitely forever a Michigan Man.
November 15th, 2017 at 7:14 PM ^
He was highly regarded out of high school that was also locked in to Michigan, and he wasn't wavering. His lock to Michigan had more to do with his lack of offers from other big name programs than his skill level.
November 15th, 2017 at 8:08 PM ^
It’s well noted [by TomVH] that Shane did not report all his offers. It came out later in the process that Alabama, Auburn, and Tennessee has offered him. TVH was on record in saying that Shane had more committable offers than reported by the recruiting sites.
November 15th, 2017 at 7:44 PM ^
He did have a couple of bad turnovers. The first was a fumble as CMU was driving for the put away score (he and a back had a miscommunication). He also forced one on a third down from deep within CMU territory and had it picked.
But he has improved his throwing mechanics a lot from his Michigan days. He can take something off his throws. Against Western he was terrific in the second half.
I bet he gets drafted.
November 15th, 2017 at 8:29 PM ^
before he's done. Shane went down to Texas to compete to get an elite 11 bid. I think he's still chasing the bigger dream and doing the work.
November 15th, 2017 at 8:09 PM ^
season with more bad games than good ones. He has had one fantastic game against Kansas. Last night was very good and a couple of decent games, the others have not been good. I'd be shocked if he were drafted but then I've been wrong before.
November 15th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
He seems to be having a better year than any of our quarterbacks.
November 15th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^
He's had a few horrendous games this year
November 15th, 2017 at 9:43 PM ^
Toledo and BC. I didn't see those games. Those games killed his efficiency numbers. But he has thrown for 2660 yards and 23 touchdowns.
November 16th, 2017 at 12:21 AM ^
so have our quarterbacks lol. I wish Shane the best but I am not suggesting he sould be here starting.
November 16th, 2017 at 2:41 AM ^
I'm not bothered by the fact that Morris isn't at UM any more, but our three QBs together have thrown for just 1652 yds—over a thousand yards less than Morris—and have thrown all of 8 TDs.
Morris is 207/370 for 2660 yds, 55.9%, 7.19 yds per attempt, 23 TDs/12 INTs
Our QBs are at 56% completion, 6.8 yds per attempt, with a much worse 8 TDS/7 INTs
Morris has faced defenses in most of his games that are inferior to what our QBs face, but our guys ain't exactly lighting it up.
November 15th, 2017 at 8:43 PM ^
Nice to see Shane getting some quality playing time. I wish Shane well, he loves Michigan and is a Michigan man.
November 15th, 2017 at 9:54 PM ^
Never going to fault the kid, he did everything he was asked of at Michigan and still speaks well of his time here. Just didn't have the right skillset for this program but seems to be finding his feet at CMU. Would love to see him get a bit of run in the NFL, doubt he sticks long but if Ryan Mallet can stick to a roster than Shane sure as hell can.
November 15th, 2017 at 11:24 PM ^
Michigan Man forever !!
Go Blue !!!
November 16th, 2017 at 7:52 AM ^
And I hope he gets a shot at having a cup of coffee in the NFL.
