Indiana 20, Michigan 15.

Speaking of USC, I hear their QB, Miller Moss, has entered the portal and wants to come to Michigan.

Can you afford him?

[Mike]

I don’t even think I want him on the team.

Honestly, he probably needs to age another 2-3 years before being perfect for the Sherrone Moore vision.

Taking a needed break from political and vote counting news, even though I said I probably wouldn't, I read the FFFF IU defense article at mgo. Another sad story of a dominating unit - this time defense. IU is 2nd nationally in run yardage defense. Michigan is a run-first offense that will want to lean on the ground game to set up Davis Warren's arm. It certainly won't be easy, not against a team allowing just 80.1 rushing yards against this season. So far, M's run offense play calling has been suspect. It lacks identifiable rushing concepts. IU is a run-stuffing machine led by Mikale Kamara and I don't expect M to get much on the ground given the chaotic play calling of Kirk Campbell.

Against a Michigan team that we have seen struggle in terms of execution and hurt themselves with mistakes, be it turnovers or penalties, it feels like Indiana could be ready to feast. That's about all that needs to be said. Credit to Alex Drain at mgo who writes the FFFF articles and from whom I plagiarized some of it.

One final thought. M fans got absolutely spoiled over the last three years and it is a shame that we're looking at this 2024 football team that appears to be so poorly coached. Yes, there are talent deficiencies at key spots on the roster but the biggest problem with this team is, IMO, deficient coaching. Deep into the season the execution of a good portion of fundamental football, like blocking and tackling among others, is missing. Since the end of RR/Hoke era, I've not experienced the feeling that Michigan is going to have it's ass kicked, in a humiliating and embarrassing way, by an opponent, in this case perennial BT conference bottom dweller IU. They'll be playing at home in Bloomington before a fired up home crowd serving as the Hoosiers "12th man". IU will join Texas and other BT contenders that have been relishing in delivering an ass kicking to last years CFB NC and in the end, "sticking M's nose in it."

While watching this game, remember that IU was 3-9 last season. Then to reiterate my big picture point… the difference in coaching and QB play. How IU will look like a smart and well running machine. Then compare to this Michigan season LOL.

At least this CBS 3:30 game always has great presentation. Wonderful job by their ‘A’ team broadcasting crew. That’s a positive.

M is rolling!!! Told y'all!

[THE_WIZARD_]

M leads! M us showing IU it's still their daddy!!

Just a lil bump in the road....HERE COME MY SHERRONA!!

[Hannibal]

Our coaching staff might suck hard enough to run for President in 20 years.

When you long for the Hoke days, you know it's bad. Hell, I'd take Rich Rod over these clowns. At least he had an entertaining offense. This crap is horrendous AND boring.

[klondike]

You know you have a bad offense when your best play is a 3rd string qb wildcat off-tackle play

[THE_WIZARD_]

KEEP THE FAITH!!! STAY THE COURSE!!! THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE I CAN FEEL IT!!!!

[iam416]

I really hope M is still running the Orji offense when they play CRD.
