Let the comparisons begin

Which team had the most impressive win?
Michigan vs Western
MSU vs Youngstown st
Ohio* vs Akron

I say it doesn't matter until we play those teams.

 

[dannydiggler]

Ohio.. All we know is that Michigan and Michigan State struggled early. Youngstown is a 1aa school and Western and Akron are more competitive.

Michigan duh. Ohio* looked flat and MSU played YSU.

 

[jever4321]

Akron was 1-11 last year. I think Western was easily the best of those three opponents.

 

[dannydiggler]

Didn't know that.. I thought they were in the Mac championship a couple years ago..

Looked flat? Admittedly Akron is a bad team but saying the Buckeyes looked flat is a pretty big stretch.

Wasn't Ohio* up 7-0 midway through the 2nd?

Yes but that is a bit deceptive. They were in position to score another touchdown early but Rod Smith fumbled on the two yard line. They also had a missed field goal in there. The only offensive series they had in that stretch that failed to go anywhere was stalled by a dropped pass (hit the TE right in the hands) and a bad shotgun snap.

Honestly, apart from having 9 players suspended my biggest disappointment was that the first team DL was not a bigger factor.

Edit: Whoops, I guess the missed field goal came later in the quarter.

WMU is by FAR the best of the three opponents ....Ohio looked like every other time they play Akron, YSU, Kent or the other instate patsies they open with. Of the three, Sparty looked worst and by a long shot IMO. Fickell seems to have his team focused, at least.

 

[dannydiggler]

Just from the highlights I saw of that game, they looked pretty good. While saying that they were, you know... Highlights

ohio looked like they were running a scrimmage against a scout team. def did not look flat.

def will not be able to be so methodical against better teams.

I thought OH* started out flat

I thought that the MIchigan O and D both looked very questionable or flat. It seemed that the first Herron TD woke the team up or maybe just WMU folded at that point. Either way, I wasn't really that impressed with Michigan's performance either. It took a couple of quarters, but they eventually played like they should have against a MAC team.

I heard that MSU had some issues, but I didn't see it.

I'll take a 40+ point victory over UM and MSU's play all day. I'll go with OSU. But I was pleased with michigans performance. MSU was the only bad performance of the 3.

Who's to say this wouldn't have been a 40 point win? Michigan won by 24 in just under 3 quarters, was knocking on the door at the time of the delay, and had been unstoppable their last 2 series.

I'm glad they didn't just blow the doors off of WMU from the start. They got a little bit of experience playing under pressure and responded.

 

[uofm06marine]

Yeah, a lot of people are forgetting that U of M was about to make the score 41-10 with another quarter to go. I think the only reason this thing was close, was because we only played three quarters.

Give them one more quarter and I think you see that U of M struggled in the first-half and then in the second-half they dominated.

I would like to see what hellifino has to say on this subject...

Who's to say the WMU actually doesn't commit some boneheaded turnovers and continue to dominate Michigan's Defense and make the score closer?

which turnovers did they commit that were boneheaded?...a sack on a quarterback forced fumble....and an int after a quarterback is hit while throwing..........wasn't like they fumbled a snap and threw into triple coverage...defense forced both of those turnovers
