I don't think JOK is smart enough to play college football. A fifth year senior has to be remarkably, uh, slow, to be so bad at making reads and RUNNING DOWN THE GODDAMN CLOCK WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL TIME WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING SNAPPING IT WITH SIX ON THE CLOCK YOU MANAGED TO FUCK DOING NOTHING....Ok, I feel better. Anyway, he is bad.

Think of all the shitty Ohio State wins we've seen over the years where they fed their star RB 55 times a game and won. We can do that too.

It's boring and stupid and it works.

the power play was working really well, I'm glad to see we found something that worked.

we need something as a counter and I'm not sure what can be done.  Play action? likely a wasted down - incomplete pass, dropped pass by the offense or defense, or an interception.  Not much good can come from what SHOULD be there.

It is long past time to give this offense to Peters. Anyone denying that is not living in reality. Speight was the right choice but he is hurt. JOK is horrible and always has been. I am sick of hearing the argument that Peters must not be ready or he must be so bad because coaches know best. Not only did they recruit him but also what about the fact that some peoplle shine in actual game play versus just practice reps? Anyway, I'm sure all of the apologists will still be out in full force but I don't care. They have no leg to stand on now and have no credibility. It was easy to make excuses last week. Now what?

Jim need to make plays for Peters and start getting him involved. The way JOK is playing we will not win anything meaningfull. Get in Peters now and see what he is made off. Some guys behave better in game situations then practice. So it doesnt hurt to get him a few snaps during game time.

Peters is not the answer. The biggest issue with O'Korn is that he's not progressing through reads to the open man. That's the biggest challenge for young QBs, even the hotshots don't generally do that very well. What makes anyone think that Peters, whose command of the offense is in question, will somehow do that better than O'Korn? O'Korn's not getting it done. But its unlikely that the other guys are going to get it done either. Work with O'Korn and get well soon, Wilton.

Start Peters against Rutgers. Maybe have O'Korn in against PSU, since a RS Frosh in his first start at night in Happy Valley is not a good combination.

Prediction: We lose to PSU 17-6.

If Crawford never played for Michigan again, I’d be OK with that. Dude is capital W, worthless.

I mean, I was watching on my phone for the onside kick and said to myself “I bet that went through Crawford’s hands” and sure as shit, it was Crawford. He’s one of the worst WRs I can ever remember to play for Michigan.

Yes but what does he bring to the table besides blocking ? Not enough speed to burn, can't high point it and most of all can't catch 50/50 balls ala Hemingway. So he is an average to below average WR. As #1? On a post route ? Yea send dpj on a post not Crawford pleased

JOK was 10-20 for only 58 yards. Of Michigan’s final 8 possessions in regulation, seven were a three-and-out. I don’t understand how they can possibly be this inept. Right back to where we were with Hoke.

for mistakes. I think at one point Harbaugh clearly lost his patience with him and went over to have a talk. You know, if he's this 'raw', they should have red-shirted him rather than give him the #1 jersey.

JOK can not start next week against Penn State, nor the week after against Piscataway High and so on. The coaching staff has no trust in him and the playcalling is predictable, more so than normal with him in. You have to go with Brandon Peters, unless Wilton Speight gets healthy, it has to be Brandon Peters for the rest of the season.

Are they really that good? I realize that Barkley and McSorley are good, but I don’t know that I’m all that afraid of their defense. I don’t necessarily think we will win, but I don’t really think they out up that many points against us, and I would imagine it’ll be somewhat close.
