****Michigan Game Day Thread****

Hit the portal for a DT. I mean a stud. Is Ty available? Or Nash? Our tackles were on skates so much they looked like Peggy Fleming. My gawd!

Interestingly enough, the last time Michigan played in Lincoln the same thing happened (went for it on goal-to-go early in the game and didn't get it), and it bit us then as well.

We lost 45-7 last time Michigan was in Lincoln.

This is a first. I see eye to eye with Mike Schaefer

Said your wife @Archy1221

I know, she was very unhappy with you. Sorry you couldn’t handle

Jesus. You guys are ridiculous. Most of us knew this game could be a loss coming in. 3 broken plays, where it looked like we blitzed away from the play made the difference. Even with those, we left 10 points on the field and could very well say Michigan got out with a lucky win.

That said, lack of a qb run threat does nothing to help our leaky line. We need bigger bodies on the dline an better OTs, but this still looks like a 9 win team to me.b

Sorry, four years ago.

 

[Archy1221]

i am of the school of thought that you take the effing points.

Especially first drive of the game to play from in front

 

[Archy1221]

Needed a Hail Mary and a late touchdown to stay within one score of a likely three loss Michigan team. This was not that close. Huskers are not very talented.

Or we kicked a field goal and Hunter didn’t go out of bounds and the game is won. But either way.

I picked Michigan to win. I still believe our O-line is not good enough to win. I did not expect our defense to give up those big plays.
We are over-hyped this year. I cannot see getting 9 wins this year. I hope we will get to a bowl game.

Our offense is not reliable to get first downs running the ball. The line is just inconsistent.
The defense line is pretty bad at tackling- taking the wrong angle by reacting to movements rather than the ball, bad at tackling one on one in space and poor technique. They keep tackling high and give up 3 yards after contact.

This is not a great team. Raiola is good and we have better receivers than we have had in awhile. Our runners could be good but not with this O-line.

And this is the most experienced OL we’ve had in some time. Lutovsky has regressed,Teddy is Teddy, can’t get anything out of Pritchett. Maybe, just maybe, Uncle Donny isn’t the answer.

 

[Archy1221]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Pritchard out at right tackle instead of Teddy or Gunner at right and Pritchard at left tackle. This game shows having Gunner and Teddy in at the same time isn’t the answer.

You like going backwards 5 yards every two snaps? That's what you get from #57

Did you just insult me by suggesting I banged your wife?

Awesome

I’d rather Pritchard work that out in games than have the Teddy/Gunner combo continue to get steamrolled for losses of 10 yards 6 times a game.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Raiola was terrible

He was 30-40 with 3 TDs and running for his life.

Do you think a new QB somehow helps his OL not get pulverized. Yeah, he probably could've avoided a sack or two with some movement. But he also made lemonade out of lemons on a few throws.

Michigan scored on long runs. Those were not flukey. They mauled us up front on both sides. The fluke was the Hail Mary and the unsportsmanlike penalty that resulted in a first down when it should’ve been 4th and 17.

Michigan fans likely believe this game shouldn’t have been as close as it was. And I agree
