Some thoughts on the game. 

Positive

John O’Korn actually threw some good passes from the pocket. We completed a fade route and Kekoa Crawford caught a football. That is progress. 

 

The running backs made the best out of some tough run situations. Their blitz pickup seemed alright, guys got past them but no outright whiffs that I remember. If O’Korn gets rid of the ball sooner on a couple they look a lot better. 

 

Eddie McDoom looked shifty and had a good day. 

 

Cornerbacks had a decent day. Most of the pass plays they weren’t involved in. 

 

Kwity Paye got in the game and looked like he belonged for the most part

 

Negative

O’Korns mental clock is all sorts of bad. Ran a couple times way too soon with a clean pocket. He also didn’t feel pressure well enough and a couple sacks were on him IMO. Needs to get rid of the ball against blitzes. 

 

Way too many drops. Both Perry and DPJ dropped balls that could have helped. 

 

JBB cannot pass protect at all. Speed rushes go straight past him. 

 

A lot of play calling is poor and downright silly. Tight end screens on 3rd and long rather than a screen to an athlete. Also play action on 4th and 11  

 

Chase Winovich had a dumb roughing the passer where he had to know better.  Overall he’s kinda come back to earth a little  on the bright side this might mean one more year of him  

 

Mike McCray is slow and asked to run with fast people.  This is extremely obviois but we keep doing it and wondering how guys run right past him.

 

Devin Bush got himself out of position a couple of times that lead to big plays especially against the option.

 

Both safeties struggled to cover mightily and were not as effective in run support.

We are gonna get ******* destroyed tomorrow since Peters is out.

Has there been any credible report saying Peters is officially out?  Last thing I saw was someone saying Peters had made it out of the concussion protocol.  Whether he plays wasn't stated but it seemed possible.

No more excuses. This is embarrassing.

No more excuses for what?  If you’re referring to losing the game I’m confused. You expected Michigan to get blown out and they turned out to be one terrible 4th and 3 throw from winning the game. There were a lot of positives to take from the game. I was probably as mad as most after the game but looking back the growth in the team is easy to see.

Wilton Speight just announced that he is grad transferring next season.  Feel bad that this is how it ends for him at Michigan.  You can tell from the instagram post that this wasn't an easy decision.

It's for the best for everyone. He still has a shot to play somewhere and try to prove himself to the NFL. And now we'll go into next season without the drama of having to potentially bench a 5th year senior QB for a redshirt sophomore (or redshirt freshman)

Was just looking at the roster. This team has a ton of returning starters and contributors next year. 

Expectations are going to be very high. 

The schedule is also going to be very difficult.

In South Bend against Notre Dame to start the Season. Home against Wisconsin and then on the road against Michigan State the next week. In Columbus against Ohio State to close out the season.

@ ND, vs. Wisc. @ MSU, @ OSU

That's brutal.

 

So far, the 2018 recruiting class looks pretty bad compared to previous classes.

But the 2019 class already seems to have some good pieces and a lot more potential than 2018.
