Indiana found something with the crossing routes and it was not addressed this week. UMs LBs also think they are fast enough to duck under every pick-wheel, and they're not; no one is.

offense with unforced error after unforced error

they weren't ready, and OSU had both barrels loaded

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

had they done nothing other than kick theyre down 14

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

This Michigan offense is bad. Patterson keeps growing short and off his back foot in clean pockets.

Harbaugh chasing points.

Donovan Peoples-Jones might be the fastest college football player in America and hes diving to pick balls 5 yards behins him

which is odd, since Harbaugh played at Michigan and beat Ohio State back then.

- Ohio State's offensive line played great. no splash plays by a hobbled Winovich or Gary (who gave them fits last year) and Haskins was kept clean pretty much the entire time. Haskins is bad when you get him off his spot and have him seeing ghosts, but when you let him sit back he has a surgeon's touch underneath.

- the Urban effect gave the defense some sort of weird confidence. you had maligned guys like Malik Harrison making plays and they held well enough for the offense to play with a lead.

- I guess we won't get to see Michigan shut down Tua and his first round receivers this year. Urban and Day pulled out Alex Smith's play wristband from 2004 and undressed the Wolverines with basic-ass read option and crossers. poor Don Brown squinting at the field like he's never heard of banjo coverage was just sad.

- Shea Patterson needs to take his ass back to school. dude getting credit for having 5 NFL receivers at Ole Miss last year, and riding this UM defense against overwhelmed teams.

they had mich blitzing 75% of the time and haskins was just making great reads.

i dunno.

>- Ohio State's offensive line played great.

I thought they'd be in Haskins mug all game long and OSU would need to live off screen plays like they did vs PSU.

he had all day in the pocket and/or was able to rollout with ease.

And you played at home.

And still, I have never seen a team collectively choke as much as Michigan, particularly along the defensive line.

coasted to a 10-3/11-2 season, and honestly no one would of said shit about them losing to a GOOD Michigan team, it would of been over after the next 72 hours. But they came out and gave their best effort all season in the most IMPORTANT game of the season. Damn Good win.



www.Tupreme.com

damn.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

believe it or not this will probably be my first time ever rooting for mich in a bowl. assuming they go to the rose and play some wack pac 12 squad. not that mich losing a rose bowl is bad for business but I think they're a MUCH better team then whomever they will be matched up against.

I'm curious...which defense do you have ranked higher mich 2018 or 2016?

but im thinking back to Speight giving OSU extra possessions in 2016 and the defense kept them with a chance to win

also, this defense has a ton of talent, but they are a little light on guys to go create turnovers with individual plays. No Jourdan Lewis or Jabrill Peppers. Ppl thought Khaleke Hudson was gonna step right in and be Peppers 2.0, and i honestly think he was atrocious yesterday. same on the DL. theres a ton of talent and its well coached, but they arent Taco and Mo Hurst.

They have really good players, and a scheme that works for them. But when the scheme broke down, nobody made a play

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

I thought Ohio State had a good chance to win this game and always felt Patterson was overrated but you guys destroyed Michigan.

was hesitating to go to this game but sure glad I did. was a bit surreal. all of the osu/mich games I've been to have been nail biters for the most part.

the only thing i can take solace in is that the program, while
not where it arguably should be in year 4 of Harbaugh, is still
materially better than what it was when he took the job. it's
going to take a while to get the level of skilled playmakers
OSU has... just a huge gulf between the teams in that aspect
and who knows how long it will take to close.

*shrugs* at least now we don't have to get embarrassed by
bama?

<-- BAUGH SO HARD

Hill, Long, Watson, Bush et al are all gonna light the combine on fire

as will DPJ, Collins, Black, Gentry, Evans, etc

that was a coaching problem. they still scored wayyyyyyy more than they should have needed to win, even with Patterson shorting everything and Gentry getting his Featherstone on.

their defensive gameplan was dead before the game started. nobody can cover man to man on crossing routes all day without pressure. im not even sure they registered a single sack. i never would have guessed that Don Brown would get taken to the woodshed even worse than PSU last year.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

You know good and goddamn well ohio state is gonna come out and cross route u to death. And they couldnt have been less prepared for that.

Absolute disgrace on that side of the ball.

Gentry really fucked that game. The drop where he got hurt was the ball game.

http://i.imgur.com/vPqCzVU.jpg

pretty embarrassing for that coaches' room imo

im so curious about what they did in practice all week lmao

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

>im so curious about what they did in practice all week lmao

So you think we should tighten up our crossing coverage?? Nah, theyll assume thats all we worked on this week and never run one.

http://i.imgur.com/vPqCzVU.jpg

and thats integrating Evans into the offense

split wide, in the slot, in the backfield...all showed solid or better results

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

agreed with the players you list but we don't have substantial
depth of game-breaking talent. OSU has 5*s oozing out its ass

we need burner slot WR's in particular.

all that being said, still agree with you and ceej on coaching.

<-- BAUGH SO HARD

but really more of a philosophical problem. some of the talent issues can be rectified in short order...go find yourself a rondale moore or whomever. these guys grow on trees. whether harbaugh is just a shitty recruiter or they're simply not going after the types of players they need to be going after (philosophical problem) im not really sure. ive been saying this for years but if nothing else mich NEEDS a stud rb in their offense. bama has been going 3 deep with NFL power backs for how many years now? mich can't even find ONE.

harbaugh wants to run a bama offense circa 2012 but doesn't have the talent to do so. and even a guy like saban saw that his 2012 offense wasn't good enough and brought in talent and let their system evolve into the monster we see today.

most of these coaches are stubborn and loyal to a fault. harb certainly seems in this camp and doesnt seem to evolve from what might have been successful in 2008. it's a different game now.

best coaches adapt to the times. Saban always says you have a philosophy on defense and mold your players to it, but on offense you need to cater to your personnel and not be rigid. he's also said he would *prefer* to keep running a dominating, ball-control offense like 2012, but he realizes that doesn't make much sense these days.

--------

UM eventually had a ton of modern spread concepts in the offense

they do want to be do that heavy stuff too, but they spread to run more often than not.

as far as backfield talent, thats not the problem. Higdon had the 2nd longest active 100 yard game streak in the country, and Evans looked good finally getting a chance to show his full range of stuff. what they really need are better tight ends. they have no one to seal an edge against a talented DE. Asiasi and Wheatley Jr were supposed to be those guys, but...

That’s an excuse to lose to them like penn state has the last two years. This loss had zero to do with talent. Your entire program choked.

Chris Olave was a 3* WR from San Diego who wasnt even on the Buckeyes radar...Brian Hartline had to beg Urban Meyer/Ryan Day to offer him a scholarship.

michigan hadn't won in Columbus in 18 years lmao..i was in high school when that last happened..you all really thought they would snap that this year? with Urban Meyer as an underdog????


LMAO


jim harbaugh running a 2003 jim tressel offense...even more hilarious


michigan was overrated ALL year long, and they will go on to lose whatever bowl game theyre in. mark it down. especially vs an SEC team


that defense is overrated as hell...especially the secondary. i think brandon watson will have nightmares from this game for the rest of his life. Indiana should have won last week (just like Maryland should have, tbh)

the osu secondary is trash but those refs were calling some bullshit too, especially the alleged PI on DPJ when he was clearly holding the DB..but whatever. and that one meko collins touchdown was clearly not a touchdown bc the ball was loose at the end but whatever.

Mongo November 24th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
Seriously, where does Michigan go from here? Why spend any more money on the football program. We should just milk it with a bunch of 9 or 10 win seasons and a nice bowl game each year - basically Wisconsin and Iowa. But playing for titles? We would need to find some bag men$ and let kids just "play school" to attract 5-star talent as we have no chance with our current academic, clean-guy standards. These kids want the NFL and could care less about an education or even a degree.










Go Blue 80 November 25th, 2018 at 7:50 AM ^
Jim, what do you say to the fans who dedicate 4 hours every Saturday to your team and spend countless dollars supporting your program, only to be rewarded with an effortless garbage performance with high school level preparation by the coaching staff in the biggest game in 2 years?

I blame all of Ohio's obsession with beating Michigan. They spend 365 days a years working to beat Michigan, their band sings"don't give a damn" every day. Sunday fucking Morning Ohio State will have a practice to beat us for next year. They live to beat us. Until we have that single minded focus we'll never do it again when it matters.

I’m done watching this game. I’m not interested in being Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. It’s like watching a Civil War reenactment. It represents a once great contest whose result is now just a formality.

Harbaugh is a very good coach and the best fit for Michigan. But Meyer is a great coach, and Michigan will be lucky to beat him one out of every eight tries.

Eh fuck it. Fire them all. Keep them all. I don't give a damn. All I know is I'm not wasting my money and my life on this bullshit team and sport anymore. Maybe they fix it, maybe they don't and it's the SEC circle jerk forever and ever amen. Enjoy the house of cards. I'm out . I have better things to do.









CompleteLunacy November 24th, 2018 at 6:33 PM ^
I did about the same thing when it was 14-6 and Michigan responded with a quick 3 and out. You could see where the game was going a mile away. I shut the game off and just laid down for awhile. Got up to eat right before the 2nd half started. Turned on the game knowing it was close, but I still was mentally checked out because we've all seen this script before. The game felt like every other OSU win in the past. The only reason it was "close" at the time was because of OSU penalties and a terrible muffed kickoff return.

But once mentally checked out, it was much easier to watch the 2nd half implosion.

This is life now. I don't care if Michigan goes into The Game next year 11-0...I'm done thinking things are different from now on, until they actually win the fucking game.

maybe not on here, but just on other sites i've seen and convos i've had. i've followed both teams pretty closely this year, OSU moreso just because they're more fun to watch. and even after seeing OSU get gashed week after week after week, i never had a doubt in my mind they'd roll UM off the field. that vanilla shit UM runs w/ their average QB and skill players doesn't stand a chance.

they hadn't seen a team with as many athletes as us all season long, and the only other team that recruits as well as them on their level, they lost to (ND)

the good thing about our defense is it can't get any worse. We might give up 50 a game, but if we're clicking we can score 52 a game and win (ie Maryland). I am now hoping we make the playoff lol, (also hoping our O line continues to play like *that*)

I expect Urban to try and run up the score vs northwestern the way they did vs Wisconsin in 2015 when Cardale started...TCU and michigan are good wins but that Purdue loss smells like a rotting fish to the committee..who knows.

I'm the biggest Tom Herman/Longhorn fan this week though, I know that much.

and i think that's where the fanbase gets it from (though the okp contingent is not that bad and pales in comparison to the rest of the internet)

I just dont understand guys like higdon running their mouths on twitter and guaranteeing wins, starting pregame scuffles and the like. they just really seem to lack any degree of self awareness.

they do the shit every year and it's always the same result.

a pretty large range of how we are in general. Even among actual alumni there's a wide range on the realistic/hyperbolic spectrum.

But in my experience, alumni who are still in the midwest are pretty reserved and realistic while alumni who aren't from here and some of the fans who never went to Michigan are the craziest.

>a pretty large range of how we are in general. Even among

it wasnt Walter Smith in 1994. that dude didn't even play in the game altho Michigan did deliver lol

i dunno. Higdon is easily an all big 10 player, and not at all a talker. if thats what he needs to do i dont care much

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

who admittedly was goaded into that by the reporter asking the question

https://twitter.com/CWGCLEBuckeyes/status/1067590767512887297

whether it's mike hart parroting the same loser garbage after the game or jim harbaugh blaming the 2016 loss on the referees...it never ends and the fan base latches onto this and runs with it.

I've seen mich fans on messageboards who know the actual names of the various officiating crews because they know which ones have wronged them in the past and will continue to 'cheat' for whomever is playing mich that day. I really don't see this type of thing with other fan bases.

and if i ever post on mgoblog, a third of the time its to call out absurdity like that

and tbh i dont mind harbaugh bitching about the refs like that. there were game swinging (non)calls in the last game of the season, and i dont even mean the spot. if you think you were fucked the players do too. seasons over, might as well unload.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

or deflect responsibility after a loss. and OSU has gotten fucked over on bad calls over the years the same way every other team has. mich fans seem to feel like their team is the only one subject to bad officiating. again, they take on the persona of their coach.

it's a question of what kind of culture you want to instill in your program and the little things matter.

and the season wasn't over in 2016. mich had a big bowl game to play in and they got rolled.

but MGoBlog is such an online treasure

the craziness that ensues when they go on a run is hyperbole at its finest

and when they lose it's the most online pity party ever

I guess every fanbase is like that to a degree, but it's just neatly compiled and so consistent on MGoBlog

if you think mgoblog is bad, you should check out NDNation,
RCMB or some of the PSU sites lol.

But yes, UM fans are, in many respects, delusional (myself

what is with these clowns



https://247sports.com/college/michigan/Article/Michigan-Wolverines-Chase-Winovich-Ohio-State-126137117/


ANN ARBOR — The Michigan football players haven't had many opportunities to discuss the catastrophic loss to Ohio State other than postgame and one media opportunity to discuss the acceptance to the Peach Bowl. Of course, when placing Chase Winovich in front of a microphone at any given moment, you're bound to receive a nugget or two of information that can be used going forward.

Winovich was asked what he would say to U-M quarterback Shea Patterson about returning to the football program next year for his senior year. After telling reporters that Winovich would do what's best for Patterson, he broke off into a tangent about the team and what happened during the last game of the season completely unprompted.

"I would say to any recruit or any potential guy that sees maybe what happened in the Ohio State game or is persuaded against coming here because of that, I would say that alone is a mirage and what we've built here is a powerhouse. That's the Michigan I'm leaving. A Michigan that's headed in this trajectory where the sky is the limit. Not to quote Buzz Lightyear here but it's infinity and beyond with what we're working with here. Shea knows that. Shea knows that limitless potential. He could deal with that how he pleases."

So what exactly makes the performance a 'mirage' exactly? Winovich's explanation is simple, the team simply had an off day and realizes it's not the best excuse. To have an off day during the most important game of the year is something to look back at fondly. However, Winovich believes he is leaving the program in better hands than how he found it and, in regards to the future, the program will remember what happened that day in Columbus.

"I would say the game didn't go—we didn't have our best game that day, obviously, I don't think anybody wouldn't say that," Winovich said. "It wasn't us. It happened, it is what it is and we're going to look it in the face. It wasn't us being way worse than Ohio State, we just had a bad day and they capitalized on it. Just like we've been doing, we're coming back stronger and we're going to remember this next year."

That kid who flipped to Bama definitely didn't think it was a mirage
