The defensive staff yesterday also missed two critical chances to call a timeout on a Maryland 4th down play where thy were going temp and we clearly weren't ready. I was practically screaming "call a timeout!" on Maryland's last TD. We had three of them. On 4th and long if you aren't ready don't take a chance. Call a fucking timeout. Coaches were clearly asleep at the switch.

Maryland is far better fundamentally this year than last year. Far better, much more disciplined even with the mistakes, overall a much better program/team with largely the same players. IMO that is improved coaching. The most disappointing from Michigan was the coaching / play calling (I'll watch at the game again) but all game long I kept looking on TV at how far/soft the CB were playing the WR and didn't take the yards once. JJ was struggling a bit also (couple over throws) , but the deeper pass plays like Joel Klatt kept saying there is nothing there, then Gus would say why haven't they tried the slant. Blake bailed them out, but that's football.

Having Edwards back would be a pretty good fix too.

It was blatantly obvious from the stands that JJ was always looking for the home run instead of taking the shorter, higher percentage, routes. That's trying to do too much and shows inexperience and can be fixed.
Yea he wasn't even looking at the soft CB's, then would check down to the TE or overthrow well covered deep.
I was like can ONE of the OC's tell him they are giving you easy underneath passes outside with at least one WR and take it... or even call it! And getting cute having Ronnie Bell to throw a deep pass was a joke.

Good stuff in Gerdman's Michigan Monday. I think he overlooked M's OL contribution to Corum's big day. Comments on JJ were good. Not sure I can find a strong basis for Gerdman's assessment that M's D isn't ready for osu's offense after he called it "much different" than osu's. I don't think he's taking Minton seriously enough.
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.
