²If still amazes me that a 3 man rush can get to the QB. Unbelievable.

Did you see Teddy P and Gutullah getting bull dozed? Michigan had some men on that DL. The very things I was scared of showed up. We couldn't block their DL/edges and we couldn't get off blocks on our DL. Plus the late missed tackled by the secondary really hurt. Especially on that 8 min fg drive. Gotta make plays when u have em to give urself a chance.

Emmett is a good running back but we need a home run hitter that can take it for a touchdown anytime he touches the ball

they're 2 years and a coaching staff removed

lost 5 games last year and didn't even have their head man on the sideline today

the difference in toughness was substantial

when we needed it most, they ran it right down our throat

85% of this was simply the LOS. The rest imo was one team tackled well the other not good.

Of course there are places where we aren't as talented RB but I was worried more about those LOS and it came to fruition.

Run the ball. Stop the run. We did neither.
Pretty simple and most knew that going in. I'll be honest I wasn't confident in either. Even with all the big plays had we even tackled well we still had a shot late. That 8 min drive with those missed tackles on 3rd down killed us. Gotta get off the field.

Raiola catching strays is kinda funny. Only thing I fault Dylan for was realizing that his OL was getting killed and you can't hold the ball. Get rid of it or Tuck and get what you can. Other than that he was getting harassed all night. Our tackles...geez.

Dana catching strays as well was also in a tough spot. It's not much you can do when your entire OL is getting dish ragged all game. One thing I'd have liked to see from him was more pace. Seemed we kept them somewhat off balance and DR got into somewhat of a rhythm with tempo.

Personally was a bit disappointed in Butler . Especially late. Maybe they were tired but man those late missed tackles. We also heard how we could never get a stop late with Tony Whites defense late in games when we needed one. What was different?

Michigan does a great job at making your secondary tackle there big physical backs and today ours didn't do a good enough job when it mattered most.

I remember when you said you want Chris Klieman to be the coach here, the guy who gave Army their only win. Talk about an idiotic take.
Yeah I don’t want him anymore.

and hilariously, he’s still a better coach with more meaningful wins than Rhule will ever have.

Maybe your Kansas City TayTays will make up for it

Michigan outmuscled the Huskers. Michigan is just plain ole tougher than the Huskers on both sides of the ball. Those two long runs should not have been a surprise to anyone on the coaching staff. That is the only way Blue got their 2 TDs against OU. Their runners are stout and quick. Love EJ but I've been saying for a while, the Huskers need to have at least one big, fast back in the stable. The good from yesterday. Archie is a very good punter. EJ played well. Dylan did not have a great game, but he fought. (Hit the outlet quickly or throw the ball away. If I were Dana, I would tell Dylan I do not want a sack). The receivers were pretty good catching the ball. My final good thing from the game should be clear to everyone. Every time I watch Jacory Barney I ask myself, "Is this guy crazy?". He is a Stud. He puts his body in harm's way on every play. Other than catching that punt on the Husker 2-yard line I thought he had a great game.
