This is not normal.
I have no words, I have never seen a collapse like this before. I don't even know where to begin. Is it the coaches? Players? Inexperience? I don't know. But this did not feel normal today, something is wrong in the program. Maybe I am overreacting after losing 19 starters, maybe it is just lack of execution. I just don't know and I am just sad.

I don't care what Brian or Seth or any of them say, and I'm sure they'll be bitching and moaning about how bad *the fan base* is, but that was a horrible performance, especially on offense, and lots of it looked like scheme, coaching, player development, play calling.

No heart either, skip. I think South Carolina wanted it and played harder. They were out of sorts in the first but Michigan couldn't put them away. Then when they made their run Michigan never counter-punched. I'm disappointed with how in this game and the State game (and to a lesser extent Ohio St but that was kind of out of reach) Michigan couldn't even get somewhat close at the end of the game. I think that shows really how pathetic the offense is.
Something's up with this team - they seem tight as a team should and they play for each other. And they show flashes of brilliance on the field (esp the defense). But its so rare that they get tough and play with emotion and play their tails off in these big, close games.

Is taking about O'Korn. So he's got to be feeling better.

I would have been okay with JOK finishing that series he came in on. Peters' audition was not going well, and the change of pace could have worked for us at that point.

the turnover gifts from SC.
Then we gave back even more than we had received.
This should have been an ugly win in spite ot the inability to run or throw.

Here is hoping for a 4 quarter team in 2018! Go Blue!
January 1st, 2018 at 3:53 PM ^
made no sense to me. Even the decison to go for it on 4th and 10 with 3:36 to go and admittedly one time out was a bit desperate but we had the game 19-3, first and goal in the third quarter and 4 turnovers later the gcocks won a game we had no business losing. God Bless Mo Hurst a champion in life and a great football player.

to do
Harbaugh is out of slogans, no more steel in the spine, no trips to Rome will fix this mess
Issues are (IMO) and I could be wrong, some of the coaches on the staff need to be shown the door
Go Blue and Happy New Year to all

how young they still are, and they have a lot of left-handed players, and an inordinate amount of Capricorns. so . . .

I would find it surprising if he's even the back-up next year. Awful instincts.

this is not on him
these coaches get paid $$$$$ to prepare the kids for success
that did not show today
Long offseason - get some air!
Go Blue!

.....the scheme is overly complex. I put it on Drevno and Hamilton.
We have watched Ruddock, Speight, OKorn and Peters struggle with this offense.
It ain't the kids, it is the expectation that they can go from high school schemes to pro schemes with nothing in between. Instead of confusing opposing defenses, we are confusing our own players. You can see dozens of examples of this.
BTW--did you know that Shane Morris went to CMU and had a banner year? The same Shane Morris we gave up on.

Watching your quarterback slide 1 yard short of getting a first down when there's less than 2 minutes left and you have no timeouts and then watching him throw it 30 yards down the field on a fourth and 1 is as enraging as it can get. Oh yea, after he threw an interception in the end zone on a drive that would have given us the lead.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:03 PM ^
Peters looked totally clueless out there late in the game. It is inexplicable that he slid short of the first, which would have stopped the clock. Then he got up and had no urgrency. He looks like he was on another planet.
Need a short throw and he is out there throwing bombs. Need a long conversion and he is dumping it off.
I just don't it.

(and this is where Perters is a 180 from Speight) have you noticed how often he backs up
and backs up
and backs up
only to throw it away, or to throw it 20 yrd, right at the feet of his intended target AND STILL BE 5 YARDS SHORT!!!!

with a 19-3 lead heading into the endzone fold up and quit after a fumble. Don't know what I think right now. Soft? Disorganized? Youth? I have no words.. Fuck this, I'm going to the movies...

this was embarrassing on a RichRod Mississippi State level and, arguably, less entertaining.

Sounds like a champ squd to me.

That is a valid excuse for having a mediocre offense. But it is not an excuse for what we saw today and really all year.
Sure the offense is young. But there have to be some serious issues with coaching (game plans, situational play calling, prep, everything) to get an offense this bad.
It is more of a coaching and staff problem than a youth problem.
