D was great for a quarter and a half. New QB is killing us. Plus fact our offense can’t give the D a sustained rest
Michigan was gashing us on the run from the get go. Nothing to do with being tired. 168 rushing yards in the first half (-12 from O'Korn) We're not down 21-7 because of the new QB. It's because we can't stop the run.
Nothing to do with surrender, you can discuss the outlook of the game as it stands. If we win great and if we don't oh well. Why always the need to censor conversation or ridicule.yes, let's surrender now--it makes perfect sense
I complain about refs and such like everyone else but I'm not a fan of shoulda coulda woulda. To move up in the world you have to consistently make plays when the opportunity arises.
If Rescigno hits a wide open Grant on that fly route it's a different ball game. If Hester picks that off we have the ball in Michigan territory by the time he gets run down, and Michigan doesn't score that last TD. We have such little margin of error that those plays have to be made. When we are called for a penalty on offense, our conversion rate is close to zero. Not sure what it will take, but one thing is obvious and it's that we have to make all the plays when they're there to be made. Grant made one, but that was our one.D was great for a quarter and a half. New QB is killing us. Plus fact our offense can’t give the D a sustained rest
I am really really really really really really upset. We will have no chance if this is the way games are going to be officiated. Complete garbage. That hold turned a 15 yard gain into a first and 20.
This kid is the real deal, but it would have gone a long way to getting inside his head if Hester makes that pick. But that ball had smoke on it, and hopefully he throws a crossing route that's tipped and we pick it. He has a lot to learn, but this kid has some skills.Agree. But now they are beating us passing too. That’s the difference with the new QB
Kid energized their entire team.
Our bend but don't break, lack of blitzing a 1st time starter freshman defense has given him all the confidence he needs now to tear us apart. Good job on trying to rattle a freshman early. This one's over, silver lining, much better than last year.D coach has halftime to figure out what to do with Peter's at qb. We probably don't have many options, but please try something.
Unless we can move the ball a little, they might still hit 50. Can they put another qb about in ?
Play the second half so recruits will look at us and say they are the ones who can make the difference. This half is really important for that reason.
I agree. I think it's going to be tough now. Low 20s was my upper bounds of what we could score and it would take a handful of big plays leading to points. Well they're at 21 now and now they actually have a qb that can make throws so they might not have to rely so heavily on the run against us with a somewhat complimentary/competent passing game.
