Penn State Game Open Thread

Honest to god it's like 2009 all over again.

I wish Gardner had some competition at QB. It would simulate pressure more in practice and would give us a back up option during games like this. So frustrating.

I don't understand the absolute refusal to adjust to anything.  Hackenburg is beating us with no pressure, yet we still won't put some pressure on him.  Off tackle runs are getting blown up every fucking time, yet we still keep doing them.  Receivers are continually running 15-20 yard routes despite an Oline that simply cannot block and an aggressive D from PSU. Gardner keeps turning the ball over, and he's still in the game.  DO SOMETHING.

Ryan has only been on the field for two of the TDs this afternoon. 

Barf.

Lou Holtz is sucking on his Halloween candy early this year.

Bring back RR...These coaches are awful....sit Devin he's the worst QB I've seen play at Michigan in the last 55 years

You don't bring Morris in @ Penn State on the road. Maybe if the game is in hand one way or the other, fine. Not now though, you run the risk of really messing with his confidence. You could also strike gold with Morris, but man, it's a big risk when you take a look at what is behind him on the depth chart.

Derrick Green 1car 3 yds nice to see us get other backs incolved also.

Nobody things Morris should play long term, but sometimes you have to do something to wake your starter up. What is going to hurt sitting Gardner for a series? He isn't doing shit for us. Wow he threw a ball to a guy with nobody within 15 yards. Congrats bro

amazingly UM has had the ball for 20 minutes to PSU's 10.  Same # of yards.  Turnover city. 

Devin is on pace for 20+ INTs alone this year - not to mention fumbles.  3 Turnovers today, on pace for 6 - so yeah. 

Dear Mattison - what do you think Martinez, the 2 NW kids, Miller, anyone Indiana throws out, and even Cook is going to do when you get zero pressure.  If you wont blitz a freshman QB I guess we wont blitz anyone. (I dont blame the defense for this score, its on Devin but please)

 

Will Heiko please remind Hoke why Rich Rod got fired at the next post game presser?

I know we're young in a lot of areas, especially on the O-Line, but Christ, there's no way they should be this bad. Especially when you have the best left tackle in America protecting your QB.

If it's this bad against the likes of Penn State, which has a mediocre D-line at best, how bad do you think it could get against OSU, which has a pretty damn good line?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I think Funk might need to go. Youth and inexperience for your players are excuses that can only get you so far. The play of this line has just been downright awful, whichever way you slice it.

People who are calling for Morris apparently want to finish .500 ... Borges is just as guilty as Gardner. PSU's D-Coordinator has owned Borges. He's rolled coverage under Gallon every time we need a 3&Long. Part of that is on DG for not seeing the coverage. However, Michigan shouldn't be in 3rd and long every godddamn time.

Worst O-line and Running game ive ever seen watching mich football..  Predictable play calling..  This team has regressed every year.. 

 

We are now going to lose to a freshman QB and a team with 60 scholly players.. what a joke

Dudes got themselves a new O-line coach midway through the season and it worked out great.

I'm teetering on full meltdown, but at the end of the day, we played an AWFUL first half (particularly on offense) and this game is still within reach. I'll withhold total panic, but things are really not looking good.
