Pretty good first half. Bama is up 10-7. I'm pulling for Georgia because I always thought Richt was a pretty good guy.

Why do you guys think this will be our offense going forward? Bama has the best OL in the country, 2 insane RB's, and they actually stick to their game plan.



I don't see us looking like this at all. We have no proven RB's and uncertainty with the one that has had any amount of success at the position.



Don't get me wrong I'd love to see this kind of success at Michigan. I've looked at tape from everywhere Borges has coached. The only offense I can say that was close to manball was at auburn.



I'm hoping our giant incoming line will help us start running the ball better bc this year on third and short it seemed like we were 2-50

No, it closer to a combination of Boise and Stanford. Ala San Fran off...multiple and gadget. I would say Hoke would prefer that style vs Borges philosophy.



Would I love to have a dominate power run game? In my epinion, hell yes! I disagree with Brian and many other posters. The best defense is a dominate run and time consuming offense. Both UGA and Bama are showing the world what's the best football in CFB. Great game!

In the ideal scenario (key word being ideal), this will be what our offense looks like going forward. Hoke wants a mammoth O-Line, and big, bruising running backs to tote the rock 20-30 snaps/game.



I don't think it will happen next year, even if we get Derrick Green, but as our O-Line begins to mature going forward, and as we begin to build depth, I can see Michigan having a similar offensive system. I think 2014 is when everything will really start to click. Not to mention that by that point, Mattison should have fully installed his defensive death machine.



But, as you pointed out, this is contingent upon Borges' competence going forward. I have faith that he can get the job done. For now.

If you are a fairly one dimensional run team.. when that isnt happening or your down by more than 2 scores you start to run out of options.  That being said, its a ton of fun to watch when your dominating someone by running right at them

Until we can be as physical and big in our lines. We can't compete with the sec. Couple more years, then maybe. Coaching gets you to the promise land, talent gets you the promise land.

As much as we hate on the sec, can't help but marvel at how talented the Deep South is. This is a great game, and as close to a semi-pro team/game as it gets!

There is obviously no chance of this happening, but I was really interested in seeing how an uptempo team like Oregon would fare against a really big strong running team like Alabama.

I think Oregon and Bama would be a good game. Earlier in the year I would have predicted Bama to smash them, but with the way their D has looked lately I honestly don't know who would have the advantage.

If Stanford held Oregon to 14, I don't want to imagine the hurt that Alabama would put on Oregon.



Also, keep in mind that you would be giving Nick Saban a month to prepare, which is essentially a lifetime for him. I'd like Alabama's odds.
