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

One bad pass turned this game on its head.. 24-3. 2 guys wide open. Orji can’t hit either of them.
 
For the University of Michigan to have this bad qb room is just pathetic.
 
Minny average yrds per pass was 6.5. So short dinks work well against the Michigan D. Total passing yards for them 258. Minny just started throwing these short passes until too late in the game. They almost made a comeback. This is the way you beat Michigan. Get Michigan down two touchdowns midway through the 3rd qtr using short, high percentage passes, and they will not be able to come back, unless your defense can't stop the run. Average yrds per pass for Michigan was 4.8., for a total of 86 yards, with the longest pass being 16 yards. 16 yards! Completing a pass down field for MIchigan, even if the receiver is open, is like a miracle. Or maybe they are saving Orji's cannon of an arm?
 
Jaydn Davis should be playing. If you can't coach a freshman to be able to throw the ball better than orji than you shouldn't be a coach. Jaydn should transfer if he goes a full year sitting behind this garbage.... should give him 0 confidence in this coaching staff to make the simplest of decisions.
 
Bad coaching and a for sure td to Loveland, that turned into an int, led to this. That TD makes it 31-3. Michigan should have lost this game. That onside kick was NOT offside. That was a homecooking call. Wink Martindale is a shitbag coach. Why do u keep calling Zone, when the QB is shredding your zone. Minny moved the ball at will in the 2nd half, and with their shitty offense, that is shameful. Another point to make, Orji keeps rolling out and not throwing the ball away, when guys are covered. Either he is fucking dumb or...........he's just fucking dumb. He lost the offense yards on a couple of drives today. Safe to say, ill never watch that game again. Indiana is going to beat us, if this team doesnt get its collective shit together. Hell, Washington will probably beat us before that.
 
we got up 24-3 and then started treating the game like it was a practice... everyone calm down
You're high if you truly think this. Even when they were up 21 pts minny was outgaining them. They were 100% fortunate to win this game. Red flags galore.

But in the red zone we were in man and getting torched late in that game.
 
if Orji Throws the ball right this game is 31-3 or we at least get a field goal. Missing wide open guys is an issue with him. Two offensive linemen went out. Play calling is so strange.
The team is missing so many guys now. To many injuries.
No excuses they should have Put that game away in the 3rd quarter.
Maybe it was a home cooking call, maybe it wasn’t. All I know is JT I was still stopped short of the sticks. Calls even out. That is what I have been told.

Not in man on that last drive except for the one incompletion that we were in man. That is why the receivers were catching the ball with 4 defenders around them. You have to have smarts to be in zone coverage or be taught how to function as a group in zone. This team is constantly out of position when in zone coverage and is the sole reason for the 2nd half collapses. Moss was shredding us last week and it happened again this week in the 2nd half. 2 of the main contributors to the bad zone is our LBs. They are consistently in the wrong lanes when they drop back. Thus, a major reason for the completed slants and the mid range(10-15yds) completions. When you are in the right lanes the qb has to be consistent with laying the ball over the top of you, and that is hard. Our defense last year was especially good at this and huge reason for the many turnovers caused last year. Consistent pressure and proper lane coverage leads to turnovers.
 
Orji is terrible... yes. But his OC is awful and his WRs are little midgits that suck.

The broadcast was saying we were in man not zone leaving guys on islands late in that game. . I just telling you what the tv broadcast said. Guys were covered much better earlier in the game.
 
What is concerning is the Michigan coaching staff thought all off season that these 2 qb’s could lead Michigan. That this group of receivers was big and good enough. It is crazy at Michigan when your chief rival has spent 20 plus million that you stood Pat. The Moore I saw after the game better get pissed. Because he has a bunch of losses coming up if he doesn’t fix this mess. We have a qb that can’t complete basic passes.
It is embarrassing.
