Could have been a lot worse, but hey Rutgers covered the spread.If they can name the score why would they want it to be only 14-7?
So much better that Harbaugh had to use a "trick play" to get his team moving against us.RU played better vs Mish the last 3 years compared to today.
But, GS def has the program headed in an upward direction
I’d like to see the twerps roll Mish St todayI can see Maryland upsetting Michigan. They definitely won't get blown out like we did
Okay point taken.No 2021
Michigan 20-13
Covid year was 2020 at Ru 48-42 3 ot
Score may not show it, but we're getting better.
Two things I takeaway from today’s game, Michigan will not be a # 2 for too long & Rutgers will continue to ruin my weekends even though I’m now officially retired .After a somewhat flukish td conversion on 3rd down Rutgers went 59 minutes without a score
Better but still so far away
The concerns i had from the first 3 games all showed up again on offense
Watch the film. You can see exactly how they played us and why we did not do that.You have a QB that runs 4.5 and big why the F are we not running against the play or naked bootlegging and letting him make a play...every single team does that and has success against us
I didn't feel like we were outmatched at all. Both lines held up fairly well, WR was open but QB has to gain experience and accuracy and get them the ball and the QB is getting there. I think they need to put more skilled players on the field at one time for a different look. Where is Rochelle, the EO kid and the FL running back? Cant the catch a swing pass to open it up? The coaches are too tight .. they need to release the reins on the qb a bit. I did notice some questionable playcalling at times. I think you could do a lot with this team if they were able to somehow open things up and not play so scared. Good coached scheme to get receivers open. Every team does not have great WR but good coaches get them open anyway! I like the staff, just would like to see a few new wrinkles to add to our up-the-middle bootleg plays. I think the QB is a year away!When McNulty was the OC, he had a quote that went something like “I’ll keep trying to find a play that doesn’t require us to execute or beat our man, but I don’t know if I’ll find it.”
I’m not a McNulty fan, but I think that quote explains the plight of our recent OCs. We’re getting better, and things seem simpler this year w/ KC (a good thing), but when you’re facing a 4th and 2 with WRs who aren’t going to create a lot of space on their own against good DBs, a mismatch on the lines, and a young QB with unreliable accuracy…there are few “good” calls. He tried an easy throw and a design that’s supposed to make room for the receiver. It didn’t work, but hard to blame him for calling it.
This. We missed our opportunities.penalties, turn overs, We cant win when we commit both.
Refs had no bearing on us losing this game.
We got beat by a good football team.
We are a tough out for anybody on our schedule.
Against gummed up A gaps and man coverage, I’d run Snag over and over until they got out of it.Watch the film. You can see exactly how they played us and why we did not do that.
They consistently brought pressure off of the edge from depth. So you want to roll to heat or away? Are you optioning on the line to decide which way we are rolling or sprinting? What if they jam up the TE or H to the heat side (like they did).Against gummed up A gaps and man coverage, I’d run Snag over and over until they got out of it.
We need an offense that can move the football & score. We need to be able to throw downfield and make big plays.After a somewhat flukish td conversion on 3rd down Rutgers went 59 minutes without a score

We have not run one naked bootleg all year. If the play is sliding right there will be space left. Hes got the speed, power & wiggle to make aplayWatch the film. You can see exactly how they played us and why we did not do that.
Snag is just a 3-step, quick game concept. No roll required:They consistently brought pressure off of the edge from depth. So you want to roll to heat or away?

Do you mean the offense that didn't score for 59 minutes?Score may not show it, but we're getting better.
0 for 3 on fourth downs after the pick six will do that to you.Do you mean the offense that didn't score for 59 minutes?
And we missed an easy FG in OT to win.No 2021

We passed up on two FG attempts (one was the pick-6) and missed another.Do you mean the offense that didn't score for 59 minutes?
So if they are in press man zero or press man free bringing serious heat, this MIGHT get open if the RB can get the flat. We have not shown a huge ability to beat that especially in pressure situations. I am not saying it is a bad play, but I do not know if we are going to get that off vs what UM was doing today.Snag is just a 3-step, quick game concept. No roll required:

I’m just saying that I did not like the screen call against that particular look because the CBs have been cheating up all game long. That was asking to be picked, IMO since you have squatting pass defenders.So if they are in press man zero or press man free bringing serious heat, this MIGHT get open if the RB can get the flat.

Can you write me a note to DraftKing?Considering how corrupt the refs were I am going to count this game as a win. RU now 4-0 for 2023!

Again, 4th down and short calls (as well as 2pt conversions) should be plays that are practiced to death, so your QB doesn't "throw it too early".No. It was set up perfectly. The corner is supposed to be aggressive so he doesn't see the LT. GW threw it too quickly.
Brutal. A no-whistle stoppage.
It is so hard to keep buying season tickets & being so emotionally invested when we are constantly two years away from being two years away.RU is an improved team, that's my biggest takeaway. We just need to continue recruiting better and better talent.
You may be right but I don’t think they have really bean tested yet & may not be tested until they play Penn St & Ohio State to finish the season .BS
Michigan looked like the #2 in the country today.
That is an awesome point.Again, 4th down and short calls (as well as 2pt conversions) should be plays that are practiced to death, so your QB doesn't "throw it too early".
