M's offense shit away so much good field position that it defies logic, or at least it defies what I saw, to think the offense played well.
Agree enthusiastically. Michigan's offense leaves tons on the table. This is far from a solved problem, even though it's trending right. But even without that, the big-play capacity is so much higher than in the past two years -- put Patterson out there with DPJ and Collins and given a solid running game, they're going to hit on enough big plays as long as the defense is past its end-game collapses.
This isn't enough to beat OSU or do anything in the CFP. Maybe the CCG. On the bright side, 7-1 with solid hopes for a Rudock-like second half of the season for a much more talented player -- that's a solid position to be in. If by late November M regularly leaves on the table half the points it does now, that's quite nice.
