Post Game: Welcome to Basketball Season

This result was very predictable wasn't it? One team played Michigan Football and other was way to beat up and young to.  Ohio State is better than Michigan today and has been for a couple years.  Last year was a psychological fluke.  This year was not.  


Michigan did have its chance early with a long run on the first play and an early pick but 6 points is not going to beat the #1 team in the nation.   Then Marshall goes down and the game is over.  I'm sure you were doing the same thing I was and predicting the plays all game.  OSU didn't have to risk anything to win this game. 

You're not going to beat any solid team with your 3rd string walk-on RB and not rushing the passer.  Even a bad QB can pick apart a defense with zero pass rush.   Michigan is lucky the score was not in the 40's.  It's actually going to be a very good Big 10 Championship game and like week 0 from the CFP

Cheers:
  • A good start 
  • Hill with a pick 
  • The crowd seemed ready! 
  • Marshall was good early 
  • Z did what I asked and made all his kicks
Jeers:
  • Bryce was the dump off king all day.  He missed Marsh wide open 3 or 4 times.  
  • No holding calls on Michigan DE's
  • No pass rush from any Wolverine 
  • Not scoring TD's on two early drives 
  • Not being able to stop the run 
  • Chip and Wink were average at best 
  • Defense was gassed and on the field way too long 
  • Horrific coaching decision to put Marshall back in 
  • Cut the punter 
Let's be honest, Michigan is much too banged up to play in the Big Ten Championship or CFP.  They played hard for a half today but after that was never in the game.  

9-3 is a good result for this young team.  Bryce if he stays will be better moving forward.  Sherrone has to do better in limiting injuries and giving next years team more depth.   He is still way over his skies in this job but had a decent year.  The Hausmann thing is difficult to understand and I hope there is a explanation of him not playing.  If he quit as a captain, that will be one of the more disappointing situations I have witnessed as a Michigan fan. 

Sherrone will probably need to hire a new DC in the off season that can recruit and work the transfer portal. 

The good news is Michigan has really good basketball team that dominated this week.  Welcome to Basketball Season!

Not having Ernest hausman and semaji Morgan really hurt.. now I know Morgan has his troubles with drops but he's probably the fastest receiver on the team.. and hausman are leading tackler wonder why he didn't play?? Michigan was way too beat up.. you got that right.. no pass rush at all... You didn't mention Ohio state's first touchdown that could have been a touchback going the other way which would have been a big play

I'll give you Hausman, but get out of here with the James Morgan stuff. he's horrible. the only reason he was on the team was the WR room was garbage

Chowman said...

Hey Guys, got a week ban from SB nation this time. Made one post....and all I said was the offense was ass. I guess that's not allow. Eff that site.

For the game, YES OSU was the better team, but still not sure they're any good. Wink showed that when he doesn't have an overwhelming talent advantage, he's MEH as a DC. OU, USC and now OSU did whatever they wanted to do this year. Kind of remind you of someone? A guy with a crusty mustache and a NE accent? Don Brown 2.0!

Bryce wasn't ready for this season and you can blame that on Moore. He's been horrid in the portal so far. Don't give me if Mikey Keane didn't get hurt, he blows. OL wasn't ready and his answer was grabbing a guy from Ferris State and a kid from Cal Poly. For me, this is a crucial offseason coming up. If he doesn't bring in some real talent from the TP, then expect us to keep losing to good teams. and for the love of MIKE wtf can't we find a punter. effing 11 yards. might as well of gone for it.

First priority in the offseason is to convince Andrew Marsh and Bryce Underwood they should stay. don't laugh, teams are going to come for your best players every year. its why Saban retired, he got tired of having to recruit his own guys.

First step is new OC and DC. And Don’t play any bowl game, or at least don’t play any Jr, Soph, Fresh. Make it a back-up and Sr. Bowl.

If I were Ohio, I’d be pissed that the score was so tight.

No Cowman I'm going to give you some Morgan stuff okay I know he drops passes but he's probably the fastest receiver on the team and you got to have as speed out there against a fast team like Ohio State to stretch the field his speed is something you have to account for.. do you understand anything about football Chowman??

Chowman said...

forgot more about football than you ever knew. speed is worthless if you can't catch or hold onto the ball. Morgan stinks. if he was your answer Ronnnnnn, then your team was never going to win

Ron said...

No Chowman speed something the defense has to account for.. we wouldn't know that he has a problem catching a ball if the ball wasn't thrown to him.. he has the speed to get open he just can't catch the damn Ball but his speed is something you have to account for.. learn more about the game Chowman

szanreno said...

Speed? No. We want slow lumbering guys who can catch. We want guys so slow a nose tackle could cover them. Can't understand why coaches are so interested in 40 times. Its crazy... lol...

I'd like to know what happened with Hausman which doesn't matter now, but too bad. Now with Semaj - a real coach with any onions would not have been playing him and would've told him a while ago to go into the portal. He's getting money so don't feel bad, but he's not good. It's a shame, but we are back to the Hoke, RR & Carr average years. Sorry to hurt feelings, but Sheronne is in over his head so you can fire the OC again, but that's not the problem! The problem is the head coach who I think is a nice guy, but you hire a guy with ZERO head coaching experience?! That's all on Warde the clown.

Sir Blue Monkey said...

I don't see Underwood going anywhere. He's making around $7 million/year so unless a team comes in with around $10 million/year, why would you leave? I agree with you on the portal and again that's on Sheronne. We spend all this money on a QB and you don't bring in OL help, etc? Jimmy kept brining in OC even though we had guys. Remember Harbaugh did not recruit Underwood because he didn't need to because he could coach. So Sheronne needs to buy as much talent as possible to make up for his lack of coaching so nothing will change.
