Indiana Snowflakes: The Offense
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:26 PM ^
I bet Shea’s DSR is much better this game
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
I dont know....he missed several passes pretty badly. Many of the passes were due to WR and/or RPS is my gut feeling. DR 75% tops.
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
I have no confidence in Josh Gattis, sorry but this IU game plan was horrible.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:22 PM ^
Hey dude. If you don’t like something, you can just say it once. You don’t need to post about it a dozen times in a single thread.
We get it. You don’t like the offense and the run game, and you are a fucking moron. No need to spam the board.
November 24th, 2019 at 10:26 AM ^
I know that you tend to be critical of the offense, but the fact that you dislike an offense that put up 39 on a decent to good big ten team - in pouring rain and on the road - through 3 quarters is revealing you as nothing but a troll.
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:35 PM ^
9 TD passes in 2 games - wow!
That is a dangerous offense. It took Shea awhile, but now he really seems to be finding the open guys, and is putting the ball in the right place.
All hail Collins! He is unstoppable!
Great to see so many weapons - Collins, DPJ, Black, Bell, Sainristil, Eubanks, Jackson - didn't even throw to McKean (did he?). RB's didn't break anything today, but I feel like we have 3 reliable runners who all pass block effectively.
Pass blocking once again really strong. When Shea has time, he's deadly.
Michigan has become a fun team to watch - Go Blue! Beat aOSU!!!
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:29 PM ^
I missed a lot of the game, but McKeon got a screen pass early on a blitz, but it went for a loss
November 24th, 2019 at 5:34 AM ^
McKeon also got a play in the end zone on the field goal drive, but he was covered and the throw was high.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:14 PM ^
Running game was good with Haskins and Charbonnet, although the carries were limited. Charbonnet had 23 yard run. Tru was not great.
November 24th, 2019 at 12:38 AM ^
Charbonnet sure has been getting limited reps for how awesome he looked early this year. I wonder if coaches like Haskins more for the plays they are running, or if Charbonnet is having lingering injury issues.
November 24th, 2019 at 7:29 AM ^
He is a true freshman with lingering injuries. Haskins is more than capable. With Chris Evans back next year, I am very excited to see what we do.
November 24th, 2019 at 6:12 AM ^
Running game did what it needed to do. Both of the Collins-only drives were punctuated by four-yard runs that kept the defense honest.
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
Shea will have to run the ball more next week.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:15 PM ^
I hope so. No point in holding back in The Game.
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
At what point do we check back in on the Locksley/Gattis feud?
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:42 PM ^
No shit. Play calling not a problem in AA. Locksley on the other hand.......
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:42 PM ^
Shea last 2 weeks. 750 yds, 9td passes. QED.
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
Patterson will need 500 yards passing next week to keep it within 3 scores with 86 yards rushing against Indiana!
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
The guys played great. Made some big catches, pass protected, threw some big balls, and executed well.
Gattis (or Harbaugh) didn’t always leverage the mismatches.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
Shea is still missing open receivers and refusing to pull.
But, he’s finally taking shots downfield
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:55 PM ^
He will pull next week.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:13 AM ^
He pulled once, I believe. And honestly that's all I wanted to see. The passing game was pretty much perfection so why risk injury? We covered the spread x3 and I am totally good with today's victory.
November 24th, 2019 at 5:40 AM ^
+1
You don't need to risk your QB running him around when you are doing fine without that.
Just see what happened to Fields in the PSU game.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
OSU gave up passing yards to Psu with drops by the receivers. They will pressure Shea but he has some good plays that will be dialed up. Its going to be an epic game. Our turn baby.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:29 PM ^
What a shit game plan. Shea's 203.8 QBR bailed out the coaches who craped the bed.
November 24th, 2019 at 10:19 AM ^
WTF? Why so negative? It was all Michigan after IU went up 14-7. Did you take the over or something?
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
8 days ago Shae had 12 TD passes…
He now has 21. That is wild!
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:30 PM ^
Who would have guessed chucking it up to the WRs would have worked...
Another great game by the Offense... peaking at the right time for OSU
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:31 PM ^
Wouldve been awesome if Shea didn't wait until 10 games into the season to start throwing good and spreading the ball around to the rest of our WRs not named Bell
Offense looks great but fuckkkkkk if we only could've played like this all season long
November 24th, 2019 at 5:44 AM ^
Nah. Would have messed up the destiny of 1968/1969 vs. 2018/2019.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
For the love of God do not one-on-one block Chase Young.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:20 PM ^
Offense was good.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:39 PM ^
Very nice
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
Offense has consistently gotten better and is hitting on all its cylinders. Even if we lose a DPJ and Collins, the younger guys seem really impressive as well. Excited for the future and how Gattis and co. can continue to develop this offense.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:49 PM ^
No QB keepers today and the offense still worked. Great sign. Next week every aspect of the offense will be on display.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:53 PM ^
The dart from Patterson to Collins for the 76 yard (ish) catch, run and score was a beauty. Been waiting all season to see that. If that's speed in space then gimme more.
November 24th, 2019 at 12:13 AM ^
Beautiful to watch the downfield passing, including even a few of the passes that didn't connect but could have. So much of the last 20, maybe even 25 years going back to Fred Jackson as OC in 95 has seen us compress the field even against middling teams due to an aversion for vertical passing. Often this was when our WRs had the ability to destroy those secondaries and the pass pro was sufficient to execute. Anyway, the past is the past, but given that history it was even more enjoyable to see the clean pockets, watch the WRs shred their defense, and Shea lock on that we've all wanted to see.
November 24th, 2019 at 12:22 AM ^
What really struck me watching the offense today was that it looked easy a lot of the time. Michigan of days past (since the Denard-led offenses and a couple games with Rudock) have had a habit of making things look hard against any defense with a pulse.
This looked like the play design and personnel match ups took away the paralysis by analysis and just let our guys go out and execute. This is what we wanted from Gattis, and it's very exciting for The Game, the bowl, and next year.
If we look like this for an entire year don't be surprised if lesser programs come calling for their head coaching gigs.
The staff is doing a bang-up job. Wish it had happened sooner, but damn am I glad it's happening. :D
November 24th, 2019 at 12:29 AM ^
Totally agree. Earlier in the year it seemed we had zero margin for error. If we didnt get 3 yards per run, our passing game couldnt get the 1st down. Any penalty was a drive killer.
But today we had numerous incomplete passes or small gains or penalties that were overcome on the ensuing play. It was really nice to not feel BPONE after ANY little snafu.
November 24th, 2019 at 7:27 AM ^
Exciting. Do it against the truckers of Ohio.
November 24th, 2019 at 11:21 AM ^
Offense did what it should and more, better. They've actually given us very little negative to discuss for once, which is magnificent. This team can beat osu. Osu had a perfect storm season with the scheduling, staff changes and acquisitions. Never has nor will happen like this for UoM. We've always had to fight claw and tooth to get anything/anywhere. My biggest question going into next week is this. Will urban meyer get on the phone and assist day if osu is falling behind? UoM could blow them out. It'd suck dicks if urban bails them out with a scheme he's silently worked on all season.
