Agree, and our LB's are dropping too far back in pass zone defense, and they are easily getting 3rd down conversions or an easy 5+ yards on the safety valve when we get pressure.
They are a lot bigger and more physical than we are. This is going to be a slow grinding game til mid 3rd quarter, then the Wolverines will start to open it up. I have seen this far too often.
We can't run the ball, and we can't throw the ball. We are in trouble at this point...we just seem overmatched...
Bajakian realizes that it’s legal to run the football right? Only 3 rushing attempts so far.
Wtf was the point of motioning Lang to the backfield if not to help on blocking Hutchinson?

We might see him if things continue this way...and we actually keep it close...
On the flip side, I see a lot of players wearing blue who we recruited hard but couldn't land.
If we can’t run the usual way (and so far we can’t), gonna need to bring in Marty. If he’s healthy we need to give him a possession or two before this gets out of hand.
I think they have decided that we can't move the ball on the ground and have a better chance in the air but I think it is the same either way. Their D Line is just better than our O Line.
They made it clear on the pregame where they stood (when they stated they've already made plans to be at Mich/Mich St for Big Noon). So anything they can do to build that game any further than it already is, as if (2) 7-0 teams going at it wasn't big enough, is what it appears they are trying to do. Disappointing
We are asking too much of the defense to continually stop scUM after these 3 and outs. Thank God for Fox commercial breaks to give them a rest
I hope Michigan continues to throw the ball deep, we don't seem to be able to consistently stop the run. But our secondary is doing well today! Let's get a stop here! Come on D!
These officials are awfully generous with the spots for Michigan.
They pointed him out pre-snap, he just ran right over Wiederkehr. On the other side, Skoronski lost his battle too.
One of the refs was clearly standing short of the line. Then they just went ahead and gave them the 1st down. I don't get it; what the hell?
I don't know what that technique was from Mitchell there on 3rd and 11. ???
Also, we are not disguising the blitzes very well since that 1st drive blitz from BJo. They aren't having any trouble when we bring an extra guy.

It won't make a difference in the outcome. You have a 5 star line up against a 3 star line. Typical U of M win, the line wears out the opposing D line by mid to late third quarter, and Michigan starts to score at will. I would put in Marty just to keep Hilinski fresh for division play. The coaching staff needs to be realistic and become more innovative on offense, until we recruit better linemen. We are not a 3 yards and a cloud of dust team.
Sadly, I must agree with you. The recruitment gap is simply too large. We might have taken them last year. Too bad we did not get the opportunity when they were down, and we had a stronger team.
It at least should have been reviewed. The WR slipped but kept his feet moving, and he was pushed back a couple of yards. Should have been 4th and 2.
That was terrible coverage. Too soft, and he gave the WR way too much room along the sideline.
