Computers still love Michigan

[rumseyhouse77]

looks like these computers put too much weight on pimp slapping patsies because that's basically all uofm has done since getting clown stomped by ND.

I am sure you agree that if ND and Michigan were to play again this Saturday on a neutral field that Michigan would win the game.

Michigan is playing great football right now. But I wouldn't say they WOULD win. I think both teams are better today than they were in week 1. Mostly due to better QB play.

LOL, you "settled" for a FG from the 10 yard line, early in the game, on the road? That's not settling, that's what you do. And 11 plays for 31 yards including an 8 yard loss on 1st and goal is "moving the ball well?" You got that FG because of great field position off of a 25 yard punt. If ND doesn't make two big errors, you get shutout in the first half. Talk about cherry picking.

My claim isn't bullshit, your response is.

Lol.

Nd had two lucky jump ball catches in this game . In the first quarter that were 50/50 plays with the defeander right there. But then I guess dropped Int never keep drives alive right ? Drops happen all the time but Brown’s defense adjusted after the first quarter . They didn’t throw much because he was not on target. Nd qb was 12 for 22 with td and a Int . Not exactly lighting it up. The biggest advantage MSU has is the running qb.
That is Michigan’s Achilles heal.. hopefully the defense can keep his running contained.

I definitely do not agree.

Yet Michigan had the ball down 7 in the final 5 minutes with a chance to drive and tie...It was a one score game.

That's not true. uofm scored their only offensive TD w/ 2:08 left on the clock. The got the ball back w/ 1:40 and not TOs and an offense that couldn't move the ball.

It ended up being a one score game because of a garbage time TD, a kick return and ND taking their foot off the gas. uofm got outplayed badly in that game.

Ah, ND won because they got lucky to be up 3 scores - athletes don't make plays against uofm, they get lucky. your understanding of football is some next level stuff bob.

yeah, that D adjusted just in time to give up a 75 yard TD drive to go down 3 scores. it adjusted so well, they cut the scoring in half every quarter, when ND didn't need to score.

Did you actually watch those drives? It doesn't sound like it.

it's obvious he's just checking the box score and trolling. Winging it recklessly all over the place.

He's like a QB who throws a pick six everytime he drops back to pass.

He'll never shut up/stop posting though. We all know that.

sbee (the leader of the MSU posters) needs to bench him and bring in one of their better posters to do the trolling this week.

You have no idea what you talking about .Pretty typical . Just move along. Your wrong as usual. Did you even watch the first quarter ?

 

[Spartanmack]

I watched the whole game. Do you have something specific to say about those drives that everyone who didn't go to uofm isn't appreciating?


Edit: everyone who didn't go to uofm and hungry, sorry didn't mean to lump him in with the rest of the ill-informed.

maybe you should be checking the box score, then you wouldn't be saying stupid stuff like uofm settled for a field goal when they had 4th and goal from the 10.

the rest of this garbage is just typical mc m.o. can't win an argument on facts so come up w/ an excuse to dismiss the opposition off hand. I'd say something clever about how it's you who should be benched but you never even got in the game - you've been sniping from the pine your whole life.

right - backing up my points with actual data shows how ignorant I am compared to your deep dive analysis boiling that game down to two 50/50 balls and your claims about defensive adjustments after nd had a 3 score lead. You're the real football genius here.

 

[TheVictors]

You know who else loves MICHIGAN ...besides the computers??




EVERYBODY! Because MICHIGAN is FUCKING AWESOME and the BEST UNIVERSITY on the PLANET with the coolest football helmets and best FANS in AMERICA!





FUCKING GO BLUE!!!!!

Football is sometimes a game of luck ,skill, ect. So when psu drops two easy int’s on MSU last drive was that luck or bad luck or skill ? Football is a game of big plays . There were two jump balls in the Nd game maybe three in the first quarter . All Michigan need was one of those to go the defenses way just like MSU had at psu. If that happens Michigan probably wins. Heck the offense played terrible and still it was a one score game at the end. Nd didn’t take any foot off the pedal, and none of us are discounting how unprepared Michigan was at the start of the game . We were pushed around and it sucked. But I stand by if one of those jump balls goes Michigan’s way they win this game. That said sadly they didn’t and lost.

The MICHIAN D completely shut down nd in the second half. They didn't take their foot off jackshit.

the MSU/psu game is irrelevant. No one is saying we outplayed psu. We stayed in the game the whole way and did enough to win. anyone who watched that game wouldn't say we were the luckier team on balance given all the things that went against us. Conversely, for you to say the uofm loss boils down to 1 of 2 50/50 balls going your way changing the outcome is simply wrong. no serious football coach, player, analyst or fan would try to make that claim.

I have looked at the box score over and over, and to me there is no way to determine whether Michigan cutting into the lead later in the game was a result of Notre Dame ?taking their foot off the gas,? or a result of Michigan?s play getting better.

Also, the box score doesn?t explain when regular time ends and ?garbage tiime? begins.

which is so hard to do against a team with a two score lead when they're opponent can't move the ball on offense. no way would they get conservative, it had to be the defense that coughed up 270 yards and 3 TDs in the first half. That must have fired them up big time because after the game was just about out of reach, they shut 'em down - except for the time nd stopped themselves and had to settle for a field goal because of a stupid ineligible receiver down field penalty that negated a 26 yard TD reception.

Garbage time never happened in the ND game. Two scores is the most we were ever down in the 2nd half. We also had the ball at midfield down seven with 46 seconds to go when Shea fumbled. We had our chance to tie it up. Just didn't work out.

I have looked at the box score over and over, and to me there is no way to determine whether Michigan cutting into the lead later in the game was a result of Notre Dame “taking their foot off the gas,” or a result of Michigan’s play getting better.

Also, the box score doesn’t explain when regular time ends and “garbage tiime” begins.

You should have watched the game like I did. I'm not getting any of this from the box score, but it definitely supports my argument and not theirs so much.
