What was there to enjoy? A blogger who still thinks Ash is coaching us. A blogger that talks about Syracuse
What was there to like ? This blogger still thinks we are coached by Ash. This blogger for some reason talks about Syracuse last year , when they really struggled, and does not mention how Michigan sucked last year, and beat Rutgers in 3OT’s when McNamara came into his first game and bailed out Milton. Both teams have essentially their whole team back , with 1-3 newer players, so the blogger’s perception of Michigan’s superiority is fantasy. Any blogger worth an ounce of credibility would realize that Vedral gets the ball out faster than any team Michigan has played , so the pass rush will be neutralized and our offensive line , which does have issues , will be less exposed. His sole reliance on the Syracuse game , thinking the Temple and Delaware games do not matter at all is dumb shit. Yeah , you cannot hang your hat on beating those teams and putting up yards like you did against them, but you have to account on whether there was improvement in passing , blocking , schemes , efficiency. So Delaware is relevant for that. I can almost guarantee we got at least 3 if not more 20+ chunk plays in the passing game. Once the screen / wide receiver plays are better defended because the safeties are cheating up , we will see double moves for a long completion or 2 , hopefully even a Vedral to Melton or to Cruikshank Td pass in stride blowing pass the secondary. Although his article focused on offense , his statement that we will not score 14 points and there is nothing to worry about is so clueless. He doesn’t even mention defense and special teams that are better than Michigan ‘s in every metric and that we have both played about the same level of competition. Does he even consider Rutgers defense and special teams putting up 7-14 points. If so , his one dimensional vaulted offense better be scoring TDS not Fgs., otherwise guess what his holier than mighty Michigan team will hold a big L between their asses at the Big House this Saturday. The overall dismissive nature of the tone of every point and it’s snarkingness was so annoying. Our 2005-2011 Schiano teams would have kicked Michigan’s asses. This chump thinks Ash like is the team Rutgers will field / Not!!!!! His failure to recognize our skill positions and wide receivers was also disrespectful. I hope both Melton , Cruikshank and Haskins and Langan score TDs on Saturday in all various ways.
