Dare I say it? But the last 10 minutes

is Michigan football.

There you go. Bump and run corner play with linebackers blitzing.

 

[Michchamp]

you may dare. you would be accurate.

I feel like they're beginning to believe... they came out shaky, but Hoke, Mattison, Borges up in the booth... those guys are ROCKS. No screaming, no headset throwing... No meltdowns.

During the offseason, everyone said the right things, but it's what happens during the games that determines whether the players are going to follow their coaches to war.

They looked shaky early on, but they turned it up a notch and played the second quarter with much more intensity. That was good to see

Will be interesting to see how the D plays in the 2nd half. That batted pass INT TD really seemed to have woken them up. Honestly, I thought we looked like the same team as last year without the hurry up offense, except on our last offensive drive. Special teams are still garbage.

 

[Mich_QB_U]

Hoke is right. The defense needs a lot of work. I watched most of the Michigan - Long Horns Rose Bowl last night and we aren't at that level. But I do see glimpses of it.

 

[Michchamp]

yeah. I underestimated the amount of work it would take to undo what RR had done to the D.

Still... no one knows how long this will take. They could come together in a couple weeks, or it could take an entire season.

things were not smooth when Bo took over either... we lost 41-17 to Mizzou early in the season. They still overcame THAT to beat ohio and go to the RoseBowl.

I'm thinking that we look pretty mediocre. Imagine if we were playing Wisconsin.

 

[jever4321]

I do think they are holding back some offense for Noter dame next weekend.

yeah, I had the same thought. not a lot of downfield throws to Roundtree. none to Hemingway

Yep. I saw Hemmingway chest bump someone after a TD and I thought hmmm, he's been awful quiet today. Same with Roundtree.

 

[masterscorpio77]

I wouldn't be surprised if they are holding back some of their playbook.
