The Official Akron vs ][V][ichigan thread

[mhughes0021]

He should have thrown it on both downs to try and win... that is all I am saying...agree or don't be that sweep was stuffed.... We did move the ball on offense ..But we also turned the ball over in the red zone a few times...

you get a yard for the 1st down and the clock stops. id probably throw it twice too.....but a run isnt the worst call in the world if you only need to execute for a yard. Get a yard the cclock stop and you have 4 more downs to try to win.....in reality with how much time i left you get the run and maybe 2 more downs if youre quick about it. He was trying to gain 1 extra chance to win.

4 point win against Akron will move us down a few spots. Horrible game..A win is a win doesn't work in this situation.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Didn't deserve the win but it's better than a loss.

Not by much.

Anyways I got my money's worth out of this game.

Are you a heart surgeon??? I almost got a Carr-diac arrest and a Hart-attack, as in the old days of the 2000s.

Yeah, I think we drop, but stay in the top 20. Bad.

Not by much.

I think the performance was a tad embarrassing to say the least, but a loss would have been infinitely worse.

That might be because the air is a little thinner where you are.

Do we have precedent? I remember the NC OSU 2002 shitting the bed with some wins, but not like this. And I m not saying MI should be in NC conversation obviously

ESPN doing a poll on what the game did to DGs HT chances. I didn't think he was really even under consideration. Maybe next year.

No, and until around the time the conference championship games are coming up, neither should anybody else.

 

[Sbee]

Yeah, I didn't see anything either

Looked like holding by michigan but not sure the ball was catchable

 

[xer0]

i hope UofM learned a lesson from this game.

do not ever take an opponent lightly.

OSU had a ton of close games in 2003.. was Cincinnati any good that year?

Tons of damn close games....damn it all to hell..

If Michigan had squeaked by Akron in soccer we all would be elated.

That is if any of us knew or cared about it.

People that think it wasn't PI at the end: did you see the angle from the endzone? The defenders hand was on his right side and slid to his back while the ball was in the air and he tried to jump out in front (on his left side.) It was right in the refs face.

I agree. It was bad enough, but still a W. a loss though... Devastating.

ball was ten feet over his head... That call never gets made unless the ball is close..
If the ball was on the number who knows...
Or so I am told...

 

[Michlady]

Akron came to play. They have a lot of transfers and are coached

Huge wake up call. Also bothered by the lack of adjustment

 

[zyxt9]

BECAUSE they were allowed to get set up. It cost them at least 1 play.

Last play was a 4th down play, so it wouldn't have mattered...unless I'm mistaken on the down, but I thought for certain it was a 4th down so more time on clock would not have mattered.
