Ehhh?

I’m pretty fed up with the whole “Harbaugh can’t win a big game.” They’re not lying. I’m sick of The Team not being able to win the big one. Maybe I’m over thinking this one and it’s early in the season, but come on we need better than this. Credit a great 2nd half played by the team. Completely dominated total yards and held them to 3 total points.

Most Michigan fans aren't this fickle, I swear. It's just the loud ones post-ND away night game. The team hopefully learned a lot last night and encountered a whole lot more testing that USU, WKU, ORST, or App state would have given us. 

I still have high hopes for this season and would love the ability to play ND again in the CFP.

You can want to win but dragging the coach and team down when you lose a close road game to a higher ranked team? Well, that's not what the team does, it's what a toxic fan base does and it's something that unfortunately some players and potential recruits pay attention to. I'd be more in favor of being patient until the B1G season gets underway and the team has a chance to develop before we decide to give up all hope. 

I get many people are emotional and such, but if you've been a fan over the past ten years, I'm having trouble not seeing the good signs for this season. Everyone expected us to be an 8-4 team last season, and ND away at night against a higher ranked team was not supposed to be an easy win.

If this were a stand alone thing then I'd agree, but they never win these games. Seriously, at this point a road game against a ranked team seems like a sure-fire loss. If you can't beat quality teams with any regularity then you're not a quality team. That's where the program stands right now.

Was it a great 2nd half?  

Our offense had 7 points.  We were a bit fortunate that ND's touchdown was taken off the board for a procedural penalty.  The scoreboard is still the only thing that matters at the end of the day; I'm not excited about outscoring them 7-3 for the half.

I can't help but think to at least some extent the Irish were content knowing that it was unlikely our offense was going to be able to put up multiple touchdowns.
