Get StartedDominant performance by Michigan, but some things that need work for sure.
only a few things. Need to tweak the blitz packages as well.Dominant performance by Michigan, but some things that need work for sure.
Did Jourdan Lewis play today? Couldn't watch the game.
CMU with the greatest play I've ever seen.
I am thoroughly disappointed at both sides of the ball today. This team, to this point, is not ready for OSU. My thoughts changed mightily over the course of the game. The OLine sucked fucking balls, the RBs couldnt block anyone blitzing, the LBs were constantly out of position and getting blocked by fucking wide receivers, and the DLine got pushed around by a smallish UCF OLine on multiple 4th and 1s. That, my friends, is fucking concerning going into the next game against a good Colorado team. I am dumbfounded to say the least because not only did they run the ball good, they had multiple receivers wide fucking open. The defense was lost and Im very glad that we were playing UCF today. They gave us a look, and they put this team on notice that they have to improve lots to compete against a really good spread team.
I don't see any reason to be overly excited or worried at this point. Everyone was ready to crown us national champs after last week, which was obviously premature. We still crushed UCF 51-14, aand did a lot of good things. Only allowed 56 passing yards all day, and Speight was very good as well. We certainly have playmakers all over the field, and we made a lot of plays on special teams also. These first 3 or 4 games are all just warmups anyway, so I'm not going to put too much stock in them.
These guys are also human beings and it's quite possible they didn't "get up" for this game. Noon kickoff against a team that went 0-12 last year isn't exactly a game that gets you excited to play in.
I hope your right, brother, I really do. I was specifically looking at these 1st 2 games to see how the defense would handle the spread. So far.......not good. We got burned bad on those 2 big runs. Got burned on a couple of passes, too, though they were dropped/badly thrown. This team really needs to watch the film to see how out of position they were. Still lots of work to do. Except for the dropped snap on the punt, our special teams was fucking awesome today. They may win us a game this year.
