Michigan is the Point of No Return

[Knight Shift]

Every remaining game is most likely a loss, and Michigan is a particularly formidable opponent. I'm not going to wax on about Michigan alums, as nobody really gives a sheet about that stuff. This is about football, and nothing else.

Michigan has an elite defense, and as shown last week, against a solid defense, Rutgers' offense is putrid. With Lonergan likely out, Rutgers has no chance of scoring more than a field goal or two.

After Michigan, it does not get any easier. The team will have lost two games in a row by a wide margin. Wisconsin is back, and their defense dismantled USC. Nebraska is greatly improved over last year. While struggling, Penn State will likely crush Rutgers at home. Michigan State appears to be improving each week.

With no defense, even Michigan's weak offense will score at will.

Michigan 27
Rutgers 3

Mine was UMass. For the 60+ years I've watched football that was the least prepared to play team I've ever seen. I was always a big Greg supporter but that in addition to the putrid portal results and the never ending DC search convinced me that it's time for a change.

midway through the first quarter of that game I saw the light

GS is done

This is probably about right, although you may have understated the point total. Michigan has scored 20 or more points only twice this year, a 52-17 win over UTEP (#111 in Total Defense, #134 Scoring Defense) and a 21-18 win over Penn State (#28 in Total Defense, #28 Scoring Defense). Rutgers has the worst defense in the B1G this year at #122 in Total Defense and #127 in Scoring Defense (tied with Maryland).

Michigan 38, Rutgers 10

As always, I reserve the right to modify my prediction as we get closer to game time.

 

[Caliknight]

Their offense will look like world beaters.

R 6
M 35

If no DL at QB we don’t score more than 2 FGs. With DL perhaps one TD to Duff so max 13 pts.

Mich had a historically bad offense for Mich but they will have a season’s best output vs RU

UM 28
RU 6-13 depending on if DL is healthy

Of course they are. He’s gonna run circles around us. Greg‘s worst nightmare.

Greg and the defensive coaches can’t stop opposing QBs when there’s tons of available tape. Now we’re facing a guy with much less tape. Michigan will have their best offensive game of the season on Saturday. We’re doomed!

 

[Anon1753410373]

Counting on this game being one of those Greg said we would win when we weren’t expected to…

‘cause it couldn’t have been Maryland he was talking about right???


Right?

Like you ,I've watched Rutgers for 60+ years and the UMASS game was my point of no return. I shut the game off before halftime in total disgust. I was literally shocked by how physically dominated and out-coached was Rutgers by UMASS.

 

[Bueller]

Michigan is return of no point. This game is now like an easily missed dentist appointment.

 

[RUChet]

Watch Carr look like Peyton manning cs us. How many times under GS have we seen backup QBs have career games vs RU

I predict Michigan has their best P4 offensive production this season vs us

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Is it the point of no return? Or the return of no punts?

100%. They are going to rip Schianos D wide open.

That's because you've clearly never seen Lisa P dance to Expose ...

how anyone could watch that game and not realize that GSs time is over ….

Don't be mocking the singer of the team's new entrance song!

In fairness, I did say "song". And you're right, I'd never seen her dance to that. I actually thought the videos were kind of interesting. Once. And was Gene McDaniels the "100lbs of Clay" guy?

the "point of no return" was back at game one when we lost to UMass followed by the loss at BC.

Tommy Carr will look like the Heisman favorite after Saturdays game. It never fails with us. We are Michigan’s Howard game.

When Rutgers hits the Point of No Return, they should play Dust in the Wind at the end of the game.

Wait you mean a true freshman QB can come in and play. Wow, around here you have to wait for three year before they decide you are ready. In 2 more games Tommy Carr will exceed AJ's 3 year pass attempts in a matter of month.

Simply amazing, isn’t it?

This was easy money a couple days ago at Michigan-14

I'm expecting #1 RB in the 2026 class Savion Hiter to have a breakout game vs. RU's tissue paper defense Saturday.

 

[B6510]

That’s great for RU. Carr was the backup so he has had limited reps in the preseason. That means he still won’t be playing well by this weekend. He should easily over/under throw the WRs by 10 yards and have 2-3 ints for them.

 

[Knight Shift]

Worst case scenario. . . . .



Tom's a little busy:

 

[Caliknight]

He’s a great example. Winners win at everything they do.
