  • Our passing game is actually worse than last year's and our WR group is dreadful. Michigan is completely one-dimensional and that won't be enough to beat Ohio State. The score will probably be the reverse of last year's game.

      • Ohio State will average roughly 1.2 yards per carry against M. Corum will run for 200.

        So, the passing game for M really isn't an issue.

        • The prospect of Tennessee and Michigan in the CFP and Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State at some also-ran bowl is very possible. Two of the three seals of that sign of the End Times have already been broken.

          • Well, Michigan broke the seal last year. And I know damn well, you'd love to see Clemson out of the playoff. IOW, we appreciate your continued support.

              No doubt they did. At the time, people explained it away as an isolated event, but the continued vortex of events is starting to mount.

              I mean you have Vandy beating a ranked SEC team on the road and Texas A&M with a losing season. It’s only a matter of time now.

              Make peace with whatever gods you pray to.

              • M will regress to the mean, but, unfortunately, it won't happen this season.

                • So will Tennessee. It’s a crime against nature, though, that Bama’s ineptitude gave them their one real quality win and paved the way for the orange-clad hilljacks.

                    • Great post on osu's passing game, talent. Comports with other reliable analysis I've read.

                      There was a post yesterday at mgo (Seth) that chronicalled a season long issue with M's pass rush - a key element in last year's win over osu. The edge rushers are "bad" .... a rare very critical assessment of M's D. But film doest lie and it shows how M's edge rush is ineffective compared to '21 and explains how neb's QB easily found running lanes.


                      Seth thought that stroud has a different kind of escapability (lacked detail) that might help M's poor edge rushing. He also noted that Minter adjusted pressures in the 2nd half covering up the poor edge pressure (interior pressure, less aggression more contain from edges, more LB involvement) that was effective v. Neb. osu would be a different story entirely.

                      Also, what is "regress to the mean" as it applies to M football in '23. Sounds like you an AA assume an established hierarchy of football elites that is somewhat permanent with occasional disruptors like M in 21, 22. IOW, M is not properly within that hierarchy and is an interloper that will regress to the mean. I don't think your analysis is that clear. JMO.
                      Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                        • We’ll be lucky to complete more than 3 passes 5+ yards beyond the LOS. We’ll need to run for over 300 yards to have a chance and that’s only if we can get a couple stops on defense. I’m expecting 2018 all over again.

                            • Buchanan:

                              I think you're right re edge rushers, but M's interior DL is outstanding and will be a big reason OSU struggles to run.

                              On regress to mean, I mean 9-10 wins. HARBAUGH!!! doesn't recruit well enough to be elite on a consistent basis. He has something like 50 juniors and seniors this year -- the majority of which have been there for 4 years or more (because they're not good enough to go pro, but still good CFB players). He doesn't have talent up and down the roster to fill that in. JJ, Edwards, Will Johnson -- those guys can play. And JJ and Edwards are probably more than enough to carry them in 2023, especially if their OL sticks around for a 7th year or whatever. But his recruiting in the past couple cycles is meh. Just is. Maybe he can paper it over with the portal (the Virginia kid probably elevated OL from solid to really good). But that's the option.

                              I guess they'll also start playing at least one OoC team with a pulse in 2024, too.

                                Well, Penn State hard like 800 yards against Ohio State and M is like 3x the team Penn State is. So, you know....you're insane. Corum will have 200. Edwards will have 150 (and 100 receiving).
