Michigan vs. Northwestern (Open) Thread

No, he started the game with two plays to stop the blitz. That was not done much the past two games. The one time Borges did it against Nebraska the drive went for a TD, then he stopped.

Well, you can't expect them to sustain good play calling for an entire drive, can you?

Borges finally decided that watching freshmen make mistakes is preferable to watching Fitz get blown up trying to pass protect.

We got points on the opening drive and ate up some clock. Everything's all fine.

What if most of our running problems were due to Fitz's running style? Wouldn't that still make the coaches look like idiots for waiting so long to make the switch?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. People will always find a cop out for the problems the team, as a WHOLE, has been having. It's easier to scream FIRE BORGES than actually look for the problem.

The second down playaction fooled absolutely no one, even after we'd had some running success. Obvious tendency is obvious.

He should've ran the play action on first down considering they just had 5 successful runs. Should've been 7 Al.

This should have happened long ago. Northwestern is one of the worst teams in the B1G. Still want a change.

Gardner has ZERO vision and ZERO feel for the pocket. And announcer: he is hardly a dangerous runner, except for once or twice a game.

Okay now were back to negative rushing plays and seven step drops. Borges is not a fan of success.

to screw up a drive that he started of well. That drive was our entire season. Started of hot and then blew up at the end.

We were seriously one check down away from an opening drive TD.

Too bad we don't have any check downs. :-/

Ready for our wonderful bend but don't break defense? Worst kind of D to run against an offense like this.

I hope Greg pressures a little more.

This thread is going to be a blast today. I am already laughing. Everything is more hilarious when you are apathetic about your team I guess.

Got predictable inside the goal line.....shocking!!!!! This game in general is going to irritate the hell out of everyone. Start spreading it out and attack and everyone says where the hell has this been? Borges then gets back to MANBALL and stalls the offense and everyone starts calling for his head again.

Great support for the Wounded Warrior project by NW. Would love to see Michigan do the same, though I'm not sure if Dave Brandon would want to give up the auction $ away.
