Rest of season predictions

Submitted by michman79 on
Considering Hoke's road record and our two home games against Nebraska and OSU, what is a realistic outcome for the last 4 games? Road games in Iowa and Chicago. I can see it going anywhere from 0-4 to 3-1 unfortunately. Anyone who can sell me on 3-1 please do so.

Damn I want to say 2-2 because we are playing some teams that play to our defensive strengths.  Sadly we are so turnover prone I have to say 1-3 and we'll lose 2 because of that whether the play calling improves or not.

We all know who the 1 will be.



Michigan won't be facing the 85 Bears defense again for the rest of the season. Believe it or not, Nebraska and NW have more issues than the Wolverines do.

I think we lose to Iowa and OSU.  In fact, seeing this team play the past 6 weeks, I think we'll get a beatdown of epic proportions from OSU.  It doesn't matter that we're at home this time.  Ugh.  I need a pick-me-up and fast.

The NE comeback last second win will probably help them while our dismal loss will probably hurt us. I could see the NE game being close but some dumb play will give NE a last second FG to win it at the Big House. The team doesn't play well on the road, so IA and NW will probably be losses. OSU will crush us at home. Oh well, wait til next season and just hope things can improve? I'm starting to doubt this staff. Next year will not be easy with road games at ND, MSU and OSU. I use to be optimistic until this dismal season. I think Hoke will get through 2016 to prove himself and hopefully the talent and experience will come together to help us finally win a B1G?

People assume bc Nebraska lost to minny that were just better. Same argument was made at MSU. Since they lost to ND lots of people used that logic. I think that NW will be hungry and need I remind u we play them on road. I could see 0-4 I could see 2-2 so I'll say 1-3

1-3 at best.  MSU loses a very close B1G championship to OSU.  Michigan wins a boring bowl game by 3 somewhere and the fanbase starts talking about next year with the recruits we have coming in.

After reading a number of your responses, I have to chcukle.

1.  Can you guys stop with the "Little Brother" references?  It makes you look stupid.  When you are beaten 5 of 6 times by a team, you can hardly call them your little brother...Unless of course you have a little brother who kicks your butt all the time.  It just sounds stupid.  

When you return to a point where you are beating them, feel free to use the term.

UNtil then, you should feel free to refer to them as the not so intelligent brother...which seems to be true.

 

2.  Stop referring to OSU as Ohio.  

Just becasue Hoke does it, doesnt mean that it is correct.  

None of you ever uttered it before Hoke did...and sicne tOSU has been beating up on you too, it seems stupid.

If you referred to them as tO$U, then that would be funny.  If you made fun of the tattoos, then it would be funny (not timely, though)

 

the point is that you are looking foolish by all these names when you go out and get taken to the woodshed by your two major rivals.

Full Disclosure...I went to THE Ohio State University

This is a bad football team, however I don't blame Brady Hoke, he'll turn it around eventually.  I would blame the AD responsible for hiring DickRod....and DickRod.  He set your program back 10 years.  He had no respect for your tradition, vacated any semblence for what was traditionally Michigan football (Pro style, drop back passers, big recievers, I-Formation running, 50/50 offensive ballance, and tough D) and replaced it with a spread offense and NO DEFENSE...NONE....like he didn't know you even had to play defense.

Due to his recruituing, and lack of respect for the tradions of your program, many of the players currently at U of M are not a fit for what Brady Hoke is trying to accomplish.  It's going to take him 3-5 years to undo the damage of the DickRod years.

While many people criticized Tressel for having a conservative offense,people forget he was a "chameleon" offensively.  When he had a big running back and a drop back passer he ran more of a pro style, drop back offense (Krenzel and Clarett, etc...); he ran a lot of wide open spread style offensive packages when he had Troy Smith, Teddy Ginn, Jr., Anthony Gonzalez etc...same for when he finally started to trust Pryor with the football...while still maintaining tradional OSU balance running the football.

Meyer has been able to turn the offense around because despite Tressel being conservative, he was at least recruiting players that  fit with Urban's offensive system.

I miss U of M being a good team, the B1G needs them to be nationally relavent again; OSU needs them to be nationally relavent again.  However, "The Game" this year should not be close, and unfortunately for U of M, Urban and company might have to try and hang 70 on your D...and not to be disrespectful, but to make a statement to the BCS, which currently has us 4th due to a lack of respect for anyone in the B1G.

I don't get how Hoke kept saying 'Win Big Ten Championships' when we can't even win our division first. i hope this embarassing loss to State really gave them a lesson.(After Akron, Uncon, and PSU)

As a UM grad, win against rivals is the most important thing to me. I cannot accept we just win home games and lose the rest.
