U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

They won't.

In case you haven't noticed, the defense really IS this shitty.

[Desert Lion]

They need a couple first downs to quite down the crowd

[chemiclord]

I'm not sure which is worse; Michigan's defense or their special teams.

I mean, those goalposts could have been twice as wide and the kick still would have missed.

[Malto Marko]

watching this OSU Miami game and it makes me sick the caines kicker just split the uprights with a 51 yard fg. I wish we had someone with a solid boot.

What the hell are you watching that game for?

LMAO....Just like the Marshal game the other night. The ND receiver drops the ball before getting across the goaline. The replays showed it before the EP. A challenge would have been upheld.

Are College coaches allowed to challenge?

I think only the officials can call for a "review".

[chemiclord]

Am I the only one thinking this should be four down territory for the Wolverines?

I mean, their kicker's effective range is like, the 5.

[Malto Marko]

Seems like ND made adjustments and RichRod is still trying what worked in the first half.

[Desert Lion]

Richrod playing not to lose. ND is all over every play and the O has not adjusted at all.

[Desert Lion]

He can't hit the long passes! Why even try on a 3rd and 3?

[Desert Lion]

Missed another Fning FG.

[chemiclord]

Mr Rodriguez,

Your kicker has an effective range somewhere around extra point distance, and even that is spotty. Anything inside the 30 needs to be four down territory.

[Kstat]

I don't quite understand why we're still kicking FGs...

4th and 3 anywhere inside the 40 should be automatic go-for-it territory.

[Nick Pappageorgio]

I might try and get a kicking scholorshiP...apparently there just giving them away

[Desert Lion]

Michigan needs a long drive and ascore of any kind right here.

[chemiclord]

Michigan needs a long drive and ascore of any kind right here.

You mean they need to score a touchdown?

I'll give the defense credit in that they haven't completely come apart in this second half. They've given up some first downs, but outside of one pass play for a TD, they've prevented giving up those huge chunk plays that killed them last season.

[Desert Lion]

yes. better odds than a FG
