What would have the score been under Carr?
This was maybe the worse team I have seen Michigan play. So what would the score be if Carr was the coach? I think in the high 30s/40s. I say we see more types of games like this under RR when playing inferior teams(50+). The game got this tin head thinking a bit.

34-32.
Too soon?
October 17th, 2009 at 4:40 PM ^
at half and probably 49-3 as the final. This game was going to be boring any which way you slice it.
its the 52-10 walloping of a Big Ten opponent that I hope will eventually be the difference between Rodriguez and Carr.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:46 PM ^
Well said. Thats is the difference we are all looking for.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:42 PM ^
I don't really care. He is not the coach anymore.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:45 PM ^
Agreed. Who cares?
October 17th, 2009 at 4:48 PM ^
Why do you even waste the time to post if you don't care? It's just for chatting purposes.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:51 PM ^
I am just simply more interested in where we are going, not where we've been.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:55 PM ^
You know, no one is forcing you to post on this topic if you aren't interested in it.
October 17th, 2009 at 5:38 PM ^
One of the greatest things about Michigan Football is the history.To say that you don't care about the past is to short sell the entire program. Do you think we don't bring up our history and our tradition to potential recruits? Do you think we don't use history and tradition as motivation to current players.
And what is your signature? Shut up hypocrite.
October 17th, 2009 at 10:39 PM ^
Never said I don't care about the past. You should read more carefully. The past is very important. I just think it is more fun to think about the possibilities ahead than to be critical of things in the past.

I was thinking about how a much a Carr team would've scored as well. Granted that Del St. might be the worst team Michigan's played in a long, long time but I agree with the 30-40 pt range but with Del. St. scoring 13 or so.
October 17th, 2009 at 5:36 PM ^
Carr would have had to have punted on some 3rd downs to keep us down to 30-40. DSU is really, really bad. I mean, we just set a school record for yardage (and scored our highest point total in 17 years) despite playing the entire game without our top two tailbacks, and all but one drive without our starting QB.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:44 PM ^
There is no choice to score at least 50 vs this team. This is the worst team Michigan has played in 90 years. Seriously people. Unless you take a knee and punt you have to get at least 50.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:47 PM ^
seems about right to me with only 1 touchdown after half time.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:49 PM ^
45-13 after we baked them cookies and gave them a lesson about family values.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:51 PM ^
around
my guess would be 51-10. Lloyd wouldn't have thrown in the 2nd half even if it was 3rd and 16. (Just for the record I have no problem with cone and sheridan throwing the ball in the second half, but I think Lloyd still would have went I-form iso on 3rd and long)
October 17th, 2009 at 4:58 PM ^
I don't see the score being that much different. Carr would also have taken the starters out. Our 3rd/4th string was still better than DSU
October 17th, 2009 at 5:48 PM ^
Our 4th string QB led two scoring drives with our 4th or 5th string RB. They threw a couple of times, but they weren't airing it out. RR did every thing he could to keep the score down, but the plays were there for the making. Carr would have posted a similar score.
By the way - the "DAVID CONE" chant from the student section was all win all the time. We tried to get it going in Section 9, but it didn't really catch on. I so wanted Da Coner to get a TD pass or even take it in on his own.
October 17th, 2009 at 5:38 PM ^
Isn't it kind of like not being able to get over an ex-girlfriend to keep thinking "what if's" about Lloyd?
October 17th, 2009 at 5:49 PM ^
DSU would have been on the cover of SI.

Mention Lloyd in a thread and watch it derail.
He has become a person that draws more Michigan love and hate than anyone in recent memory.
The score would have been somewhat closer. My guess is near the spread 49-13.
Would it have been closer because Lloyd's was a guy concerned how things "looked" to alums and others, or that his offense was less explosive or both? Don't know.
October 17th, 2009 at 7:38 PM ^
could have kept it respectable........I do know he would have kicked two FG's in the 2nd half instead of going for 4th downs.
October 17th, 2009 at 7:52 PM ^
Lloyd often did the same thing - forego the FG and call a vanilla play that gives the defense a chance to keep us off the scoreboard.
October 17th, 2009 at 8:26 PM ^
You DO know he isn't the coach anymore? So like, the purpose of this kind of stupidity is?
Leave Lloyd alone to walk off into the sunset--he did do something no other UM coach has done in 60 years (and doesn't look like will be done soon)--win a national championship.
Congrats on all the boners for beating one of he worst teams this side of the Detroit Lions, ladies. Now let's get out there and beat this Penn State team that so many don't think is very good, and the Ohio State team that looks more and more mediocre.
October 17th, 2009 at 8:35 PM ^
Because if there is an Internet thread about him somewhere, he won't have a peaceful retirement.
October 17th, 2009 at 10:36 PM ^
I think the more interesting question is, what would the score have been if we'd played them last season?
I'd say something like 34-10. (The TD would come, naturally, off a fumbled punt.)
