No soup for you. Shane has requested no competition and no other QBs recruited in his class. But we need 2 in 2014.

Considering the regression that QBs and offenses enjoy under Borges (at least, at all of his previous stops), not sure that three 4 star players would matter.

As bad as the big ten is, I still expected one loss so there it is. No more allowed.
Obvious things...
Denard injury equals game over...anyone who thought Denard wasn't our best choice at QB received their answer tonight.
DG is the starter next year.
We really need Treadwell in this class.
I was only half watching after some point but it seemed like we gave up a bit?
October 27th, 2012 at 11:27 PM ^
2008 sucked.
But if we win out and Nebraska craps a game away, we go to Indy. So let's lick our wounds and take care of business the rest of the way. It's 3 softies and then beat Ohio.
October 27th, 2012 at 11:29 PM ^
I dunno if I'd call NWU a softie. Even if so, nobody's a softie if we can't get in the endzone (even when we had Denard).
October 27th, 2012 at 11:42 PM ^
If Robinson can't go, none of these upcoming opponents are softies. Iowa isn't playing well but they won at MSU, and our offense without Robinson is a poor man's MSU.
October 27th, 2012 at 11:28 PM ^
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
ONLY play Bellomy next week. Kid needs some fucking reps.

FUCK YOU ILL VENT WHERE I WANT
October 27th, 2012 at 11:28 PM ^
I dont know what to say more than that. I cannot believe that they would continue to go with Bellomy. Poor kid was thrown to the wolves.
Well it did not even look good as Denard ran to the locker room after the game. His arm was limp. I am scared guys, i am scared. "Hold me Richard!"
October 27th, 2012 at 11:28 PM ^
The program made some $$$$$. Night games!!!!

No they didn't.

I had more confidence in Sheridan.
And next year is going to be TERRIBLE.
October 27th, 2012 at 11:34 PM ^
You still are a douche for ragging on players, even if you say something stupid like "well, I'm sure he is a nice guy" at the end of your post.
October 27th, 2012 at 11:46 PM ^
No. I am not. Asserting that someone who makes the choice to do something (play football for a major program) with full knowledge that doing so will put him on national tv and subject him to high levels of criticism and scrutiny for his play is "in over his head" (in other words, is not ready to play) or "not very talented" (in other words, may not be good enough to play at this level) is 100% fair game and does not make me (or anyone) "a douche." Personal attacks or unfair insults are not cool, I agree. Fans cross the line all the time and it is not okay. But these are simple observations about the game itself that happen to be true (or at least appear to be true as of today).
October 27th, 2012 at 11:29 PM ^
really going to get shut out two games in a row in the damn world series????

NOTRE DAME IS SO OVERRATED!!!!!!!!11111!!!!1111!!!!!!
October 27th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
THAT was our backup plan if Denard got hurt?
October 27th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
Worst Oline you've ever seen? Do you even watch the game? The pass protection in the first half was excellent. Denard had ALL day to throw the ball. The problem was Nebraska KNEW Bellomy had nothing, and they were bringing the house. Borges play calling didn't help much. It had nothing to do with the Oline. If Denard can't go Devin needs to start getting reps in practice at QB bottom line. Bellomy is not a division 1 capable QB at this point bottom line. But, lets not give up hope. Nebraska will not win out, and we still have a chance at a Big 10 title game bid.
October 27th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
Without Toussaint being able to perform like last year, our offense is one-dimensional.
Denard all the time. Remember Toussaint got 1000+ yard last year. He doesn't have it this year.
It reminds me of the offense 2 years ago, where defenses realize that if you blitz Denard it's game over.
Toussaint got 138 yards against Nebraska last year.
October 28th, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
What in the fuckity fuck happened to Fitz? I have never seen a more dramatic regression than him...he just doesn't have it this year. At all. Not even a little. He's making all the wrong moves and not pushing forward with his runs. It's not all the oline, some of it is just poor running. Bellomy never had a chance today.
October 28th, 2012 at 12:55 AM ^
Maybe last year was a fluke.
But you're right -- Toussaint is simply not productive this year.
Where is Fred Jackson in all this? He's the running back coach. Why is it we never hear any complaints about his coaching of this RB squad?
October 27th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
Michigan's offense going into the fetal postion after Denard went down or Notre Dame housing Oklahoma? Honestly, for me it's a toos up.
October 27th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
Any other positive takeaways?
October 27th, 2012 at 11:32 PM ^
too lazy to look up but believe Gibbons is 12/14 on the year, which includes the 52 yarder tonight.

October 27th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
How has our offense regressed so much from both last year, and the past three or four games? From Fitz not being able to move, to Rawls not coming in more and developing, from Denard's passing (and Borges' play calling for Denard) to Denard's inability to consistently run like has. It seems like he's floundering, trying to find an identity in this offense (even though he already had one).
October 27th, 2012 at 11:46 PM ^
I thought the o-line sucked at run blocking all game. Same as always... Hard to do anything when the line gets pushed back in your face every play.
October 28th, 2012 at 12:01 AM ^
October 27th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
October 28th, 2012 at 12:25 AM ^
you mean DOOM?
Because they definitely tried, but were woefully unable to do anything. The D tried pretty damn hard, but eventually succombed to an honestly good O that was on the field for pretty much teh entire 2nd half. And losing your all-star only-viable-option at QB on an innocent tackle/fall seems more like DOOM than anything about not trying hard enough. The universe was conspiring against M today.
October 27th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
Didnt have major issue with defense. That part of the game is part emotion. When you see you have no chance on offense you are going to mentally sag by nature. You play 95% rather than 100% even if subconsciously and you get beat on defense. Remember our defense was not considered a strength coming into the year - all the playmakers on the line were gone, and we lost our best CB in game 1. They have overachieved and I wont complain about them any game. They will need to carry the team next year as we have either frosh Shane or Bellomy starting all year (gulp).
October 27th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
I really hope hope denard doesn't have a ulnar nerve injury, I have had surgery to move my ulnar nerve in both arms and I can tell all of you he will not be back this year if this is the case, Please have compasion for the kid.

And this is why I love Michigan. Plenty of docs around the threads. If this was an Ohio State thread they'd think ulnar nerve was open heart surgery.
October 27th, 2012 at 11:33 PM ^
well fuck the world
