Texas 31, Michigan 12

[Mike]

You guys thought I was bullshitting. I wasn’t. For the second time in my life I left a Michigan game at the half (2007 Oregon).

The only offense that comes close to this shit show was the 2008 Sheridan/Threet season.

Michigan has their work cut out for them to go 7-5.

How does a program like Michigan have a DIE hire for a head coach and essentially no QB?

Brutal but there is some merit to that. To be fair though, Michigan didn’t have great alternatives and Moore doesn’t bring Kamala- level ineptitude.

As for the QB thing. Well, that’s fair. Maybe Tuttle was the guy?

[Tom W]

Gettin' fugly.

My advice to M fans...drink heavily.

Mike and I are back at the tailgate doing just that.

Could be worse, we could be losing to Bowling Green like Penn State is.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Not sure why that wasn't a late hit on Ewers...refs just shrugged and made a "both sides" call

Husker fans have drank a lot the last 10 years...I feel yer pain.

How does a program that makes the playoffs 3 years in a row not have a functioning passing game?

Michigan now paying the price for the staff taking two years off from recruiting.

[Tom W]

Making the playoffs three years in a row SHOULD be all the recruiting that you need.

The talent gap is pretty wide. Texas is the real deal. I would have UGA #1 and UT #2 with the Nutz #3 right now. IMHO the 3 best in the country thus far.

[maxreturn]

Wow, talk about a fall from grace!

[THE_WIZARD_]

Everybody's doing it.

[AlabamAlum]

M needs some advance scouting.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Nature is healing

That was hard to watch but Texas is an elite team with elite talent compared to M's. It will be interesting to watch how the team responds next week. I thought Klatt's comment as the 4th quarter came to an end. The young M players got valuable snaps. But I don't think this team has as high a ceiling as many expected. I can see three or four losses. Opposing coaches have a blueprint on how to beat Michigan on both sides of the ball. At OSU, Oregon and possible loses to several others on the road. The Mgo UFR should be interesting next week.
