The Official Minnesota vs ][V][ichigan Game Thread

[bamf_16]

If we had a great passer as a QB, we would be 7-0.

If Michigan got Nate Peterman (transfer from Tennessee who went to Pitt), Michigan is undefeated.

I'd said it repeatedly two weeks ago and believe it 100%, if Connor Cook were at Michigan, Michigan's a college football playoff team, and maybe a national title contender.

With Jake Rudock, they're a 3-4 loss team.

This guy sucks. He's awful. And it pisses me off that Morris is as huge a bust as he is and that Hoke didn't get anyone else.

Yeah watching Jake is really tough.. He cannot hit a deep ball to save his life so the defense does not have to respect it..

Does the guy even practice throwing deep? Geez.

For the record, I don't disagree with going for it from the 35, but you MUST know that on 3rd down. I don't know why there's no protection tonight or push in the running game, but I don't like it.

I'm going back to Destiny if they go 3 and out on this first drive.

I'm assuming in practice he completes a lot of downfield throws that are tipped off of db's hands.

Minn outplayed Michigan in the first half. They had some really lucky plays, but they also had some big runs and receptions, whereas Michigan did not. D needs to step up and stop giving up the pass and shut down the run. Rudock needs to get it together. Got to turn this around. Someone needs to tell Minn that they aren't supposed to win this game.

I wouldn't say they outplayed us. Yardage looks off but that is partially due to huge peppers returns. Minnesota has moved the ball due to our guys being in position but faltering. Both Clark and Thomas have to make those plays.

Longest. Halftime. Ever.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

This shit has been stupid so far. Minnesota only existing on lucky ass long plays.

 

[tsume99]

Longest. Halftime. Ever.

I'm torn between wishing this game would just hurry up and resume and wishing it wouldn't because we may have to suffer through another shitty half.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Have to score on the first possession here to get the momentum back.

And the next four.

Why did they start at the 25 yrd line?

Why did they start at the 25 yrd line?

Is this a serious question?

 

[twentythree]

Maybe I just missed the 1st play, starting at the 20.

 

[twentythree]

Nice job Chesson!

KO touchbacks come out to the 25.

 

[biggunsbob]

We have to stop telegraphing our running plays

 

[bphillips4gg]

KO touchbacks come out to the 25.

As they did last year and, I think, the year before.

 

[byco42]

Drake Johnson is the only RB running downhill

 

[tsume99]

About time they got a rhythm going. Keep it up!
