Let's try something new after each game. Give me your top 3 studs from the game and top 3 duds.

Studs - Bush Jr., Ty Isaac, Mo Hurst

Duds - RT Ulizio, Speight, Lavert Hill (in pass D only. Run D was excellent)
 
Studs - Hurst, Isaac, Bush is hard to argue

Duds - Speight (besides the 2 picks he was only 11/25 passing), Wheatley Jr (what happened to him?), and McDoom.
 
Spright made some big passes and runs at key moments; I'm naming him both a stud and a dud.

The place kicker both too.
 
Studs:
Devin Bush - Imagine if he got ejected on that first play. He hit gaps really well.
Chase Winovich - Really surprised me, didn't know much about him heading into this game. Looked phenomenal.
Quinn Nordin - Missed late but he hit the real pressure kicks to begin with.

Duds: I really only have one. Without his two bad throws, this game is a blowout.

Wilton Speight - Eerily similar to Rudock's dud vs Utah in 2015. Happy he bounced back in the 2nd half.

Grant Perry's penalty early was really irritating, he actually spun the ball again on another first down but not as obvious. I wonder if that's a habit he needs to break? Hands looked great. I can't call him a dud just because of the penalty.

I'd give Eubanks an honorable mention as a stud. Only 11 passes were completed, but he had two big ones. Maybe we've found our pass catching TE.

tough to argue with these. I agree on all counts. Ulizio really struggled

I get that spinning it is unsportsmanlike, but I've never seen that get called before.

hope he can cut out that BS going forward though; I get the sense refs will come down on him harder going forward
 
You guys nailed it. All the guys mentioned above. I'll give Harbaugh and his staff a nod for keeping the guys composed at half and getting the focus back with the second half kick. That was a nice drive . We flipped the field with turnovers and although our red zone play calling needs to improve once the lead was taken back our defense shut any and all doors.
 
Perry knows the spin thing is an issue

He tweeted last night
No better feeling than winning with my brothers! Sorry about the spinning😬it will stop! I promise.
 
Nordin's 55yd fg kept the guys heads in it after the int's. His misses aside, he was crucial to our victory yesterday.

Uluzio struggled in the pass game, he will get better(he went up against CeCe Jefferson a lot yesterday). I will give him a pass against one of the best DEs in college football. Pass blocking is the hardest thing to learn in football, I know. His run blocking only got better as the game wore on as did all the guys. They took control in the second half.

Isaac was just seeing the holes. If nothing was there he was bouncing it outside. Just a superb game by that guy.

I cannot give any receiver a dud listing. It wasnt their fault the ball didnt get there Speight's int's were on him.

I thought that we should have run more to Onwenu's side, but Bredeson and Cole were road graters yesterday. Those guys were moving people in the second half.

I also don't remember ever seeing it called. But the lack of surprise on the part of the announcers (and Harbaugh) means it's a pretty clear cut rule. I'm willing to bet that's the last time we talk about it.
 
Something I noticed during the broadcast. When Michigan made good plays on defense, ESPN rarely, if ever, had a replay. Florida's plays on defense were replayed over and over again. I maybe a little over sensitive but I would walk out of the room for second and would hear the announcers get louderand the crowd roar after a big play. I would run back in the room to see what happened and they would never replay it. Also, the SECSPN announcers were suckin Fla's cocks that 1st half. They finally came around and couldnt ignore the team speed the 2nd half.

Come on. While it was high on his first int it did in fact hit the reciver right in his hands .. second one was his .. first one was both his and the wide outs fault. That ball was catchable and who knows maybe it had to be a tad high to get in between both defenders. Wilton does have to play better that is for sure.

Yes, I noticed this. I noticed something else, also. When it was 3rd and a long 4 for Michigan, it was 3rd and 5. If it was 3rd and a long 4 for Florida, it was 3rd and 4. Didn't matter what down and distance, if it was long, then it was the larger number for Michigan. For Florida, it was the shorter number...every single time. 2nd and 8, 3rd and 4, watch the replay, you'll see it

fake news!!!

15 yards!!! so spinning a football on the ground after a first down is the equivalent of hitting a guy on a late hit, unnecessary roughness, late hit...spearing, etc. give me a break

just NO

both balls were thrown the same. The commentators wanted to differentiate between the 2, but NO... the balls were thrown so that an 8 foot tall receiver would catch them. Both throws were extremely high. The first one, the receiver just managed to jump, reach up, and tip it. Both were horrible thrown too high...
 
I disagree . First one hit him in his hands good enough .. It was high but could have been caught.

Damn I forgot to check in on sec network .I bet they were all over Florida at halftime lol. I didn't notice what to were saying but that is werid ..
 
Well Pete Fineballs was talking to a "Michigan" fan the day before the game and said, " I picked Florida in Feb and Im sticking with it. Even with the suspended players, Florida wins comfortably. Florida has too much talent." And then the "Michigan" fan continued to lap up everything Fineballs was saying, with waaay too much respect.
 
Ucla down 44-10 has ball with 2:38 left and are only down 6 now.

Has he said anything since the game I wonder? He is such a asshole.
