Milroe bet Michigan to cover

Bammer forgot the rain cleats...

Probably the STOOPIDEST time out call I've ever seen.

[WM Wolverine]

I had no confidence in M's offense (and converting the 3rd down) and didn't think it was that awful.

[WM Wolverine]

Orji isn't a QB, hopefully that's his last pass attempt as a Wolverine.

I have just seen two of the most improbable Michigan wins in my lifetime. Beating #2 ranked ohio state in Columbus without a good QB, ,and now beating Alabama for the second time in a calendar year. Alabama probably should have been in the playoffs. Michigan had no business beating either team this season.

Rose Bowl? Yes. Michigan was better. This game? No way should M have beaten the Tide.

I'm sure its because "Michigan cheated", but I can't believe what I just saw this year.

Lots of anticipation now for the 2025 season. What will this team accomplish when they add a couple real quarterbacks, and its portal additions, and finally this incoming recruiting class?

Unbelievable.

19-13 is your final. What a weird year. Michigan finishes 8-5, which is disappointing, but ends with wins over Ohio State and Alabama. If you'd told me in August that Michigan would end the season with wins over Ohio State and Alabama, I'd have been delighted with that, and I...kind of am anyway.

LMAO and woof.
I can’t remember being more dead wrong about a sports opinion than how Michigan won this game. I was so wrong and apologize for the foolishness. An all-time sandbaggery post, but I was actually serious. That 1st Q was like something that I’ve never seen go in favor of a huge underdog. Bama gifting turnovers and field position so fast in a game. The short rain storm that really benefited M.

Protect Jordan Marshall from the transfer portal at all cost. Also, the M defense looked great outside of one possession!

BamaAlum will have to inform me about who opted out for Alabama. I just don’t get it outside of how that 1st Q was so bizarre. Well, and I guess it’s hard to replace the greatest college football coach in modern times.

[lineygoblue]

DeBoer is no Saban.

But Bama looked like they were sleepwalking in that first quarter.

Michigan came to play. At least those who chose to stay ... (right, Bo?)

I wonder how many of those opt-outs wished they could have been a part of that?

[WM Wolverine]

We graduate a lot of very good players to the NFL, AGAIN... Recruiting in '23/'24 was below par, they've done okay at filling those misses in recruiting via transfers. They need another starting OL imo, and another WR transfer. Defense looks really talented in the front seven (Benny is a really good DT but he's no Kenneth Grant/Mason Graham), the defensive backfield could use a starting caliber cornerback...

Schedule is way easier. Oklahoma is the OOC game, instead of Texas. No Oregon or Indiana. 9 wins should should be the floor, 10 wins probable; 10+ wins is CFP bound.

I was there. In an earl soaking rain that turned into a sun filled game contest. Three, 2 forced, unexpected Milroe errors put M up early 13 - 0. The rain cleared and Moore rode that score calling a tactically smart, if not on the edge of disaster, game that fsns hate.

Wink crafted and the players executed, another great defense that produced 5 sacks and kept the Tide bottled up save 4 big plays that only produced 13 points and this is a Tide team that whined about getting shut out of the CFP.

Orgi is not a QB. After Warren went out and Orgi had but one good read and run then an interception, I was hoping for Jayden Davis to go in. Stubbornly, Moore failed to give him a try. QB competition is going to be brutal but will produce a starter by the best of them. The OL will need seasoning. They didn't look great but Warren shouldn't be holding the ball as long as he did. Short passes to the edge were good play calls from Casulsa But Alabama's edge sealing is high end.

The 2025 defense is ggoing be stout. This wasn't Alabama's best OL ,but still they got mauled. What the Tide did have ggoing for them was quality LB and S play v. The run. New kid on the block, Jordan Marshall, still ran for 100 at a 4.2 ypc. His running was a big factor in aiding Moore to burn clock and play the ta tically correct game that he did.

2025 will bring a damn good squad to the field. I'm looking forward to it, as early in the 22024season? I was done. What a fantastic win.

SHOCKING THE AWE!!!!!111

[lineygoblue]

Makes me want to go to the Spring game. With Underwood being involved its liable to be well attended

[Cody_Russell]

Maybe that will convince Orji to stay and switch positions here at M. Otherwise, he belongs in a different division/ level of competition if remaining at QB. Good athlete, but it was just obvious how handicapped they were when Orji replaced Warren.

Wink brought his ‘A’ game as a defensive play-caller again. Three games in a row. Some of that magic that led the NY Giants to the playoffs in 2022. Hope he stays and doesn’t go back to the NFL.

Still impressed with how better Marshall looked as the game went on. I hate that football saying about how RBs get better as the game goes on because it more so has to do with defenses getting tired. However, it looked like Marshall actually gained confidence due to his lack of experience. He’s going to be a great one if injury luck is on his side.

Oh, and Fredrick Moore. FINALLY.
