Rutgers 13 Michigan 20 - Post Game Thread

[lineygoblue]

M is going to rail the fuck out of Schiano.

Guess again, huh?

[lineygoblue]

Yep. It won’t be close. I expect M people to jump back on the Harbaugh Express and start saying he’s a better coach than Saban soon. And this year, it will be hard to argue.

Don't quit your day job.

We've seen this before. Army came into AA in 2019, and was a made FG away from beating Michigan outright, with basically the same strategy as Schiano used in the 2nd half. He was actually walking up a 10th guy on occasion, to stop M's inside running game. What did GattisBaugh do? Run in the TnT.

So now, even though Schiano had his own boneheaded play calls in the end, he's given all of M's future opponents a roadmap of how to defeat Michigan. With the exception of OSU of course, because they don't need a game plan. They win by simply showing up.

So, Wisconsin will gang up about 8 guys within 5 yards of the LOS, and dare Michigan to pass. Michigan will oblige, by runnng the ball into TnT.

We've seen this before, and they're about to repeat the same old mistakes. Insist on running the ball into TnT, even if it means losing the game.

M can't count on future opposing coaches to make boneheaded moves like Schiano did at the end today. He's in the odd position of calling a great game in the 2nd half, but calling a STOOPID call (QB option) at the end. He's got to deal with that, but he had the winning formula in the 2nd half. And now, everybody has it.

They're going to get railed in Madison.

I think I'll celebrate with a large size cheese curds at Culvers. I won't be watching. I'd rather sit for 3 hours and whack myself in the head with a hammer.

Same ole Harbaugh....gets TOTALLY outcoached in the 2nd half, not that it's at all difficult to do. The man is a dumba$$. Just 1 perimeter run in the 2nd half and they nearly got a first down. HELLO!?

“Same ole?”

now that’s where I disagree. I think that we saw entirely new dimensions of ineptitude today.

[lineygoblue]

The weaknesses have been fully exposed.

Its just a matter of time before future opponents exploit them, and M will have no answers.

As usual.

Enjoy the good, expect the bad.

What's interesting is after the 2019 Army game, M had to go into Madison and play Wisconsin in the following week. Everyone was panicking about the M offense before that game. It turned out to be a disaster for M.
Very similar situation right now. There is reason to be VERY concerned about the M passing offense + play calling. I think the run game is fine, but it can be sabotaged by the questionable play calls and lack of a passing game. Opposing defenses can just stack the box and make M beat you through the air.
Harbaugh hinted something in his post game interview about FINALLY calling a run play to the perimeter. So is this on Gattis? Maybe.

and I've had Culvers in Wisconsin twice in my lifetime. Such a satisfying meal with the butter burger, cheese curds, and milkshake.

First time in 48 years. That’s dominance.

M vs Western Michigan, Washington, and NIU... sure. 1st half vs Rutgers ... sure.
The 2nd half vs Rutgers was so bad though.

The issue is we have been hinted at these warning signings in previous Harbaugh seasons. It usually has come back to bite M later in the season. I guess the point is to not take a warning sign lightly.

[AlabamAlum]

Y’all are winning and never trailing. Need to stop the sandbaggery. Michigan dominance is here. It kicked in the door, stormed in, and glared at everyone at the bar despite the fact that their uniforms have a North Carolina basketball player on them.

[THE_WIZARD_]

The Sandbagger Supreme is accusing the Sandbagger of Sandbagging?

fascinating

[lineygoblue]

AA is just mocking us now. Its beyond the usual SEC/Finebaum-Michigan/Harbaugh talk. They're enjoying every second of Michigan's struggles.

That's okay, of course. I'd be doing the same if Alabama was actually struggling.

[AlabamAlum]

Michigan’s struggles? JFC! You are 4-0 and Have. Never. Trailed. In. A. Game. This. Year. First. Time. In. Nearly. Fifty. Years!

[lineygoblue]

The mocking would be cute if you were sincere. But, maybe you're cute anyway. I've never seen your photo shoot.

[AlabamAlum]

I’m not mocking. At all.

Michigan is very good this year. 4-0 and never, ever trailed. Averaging over 40 points a game. 4th in the nation in scoring D.

40-11 average score. 4-0. JFC.

I really hate sandbaggery.
