2022 Playoff Semi-Final GameThread (UM vs. TCU)

Dare I say this?  Johnson seems to be on the Woodson trajectory. He has really improved as the year has gone on and has the feel of an All American down the road.

Horrible play call from the 2 to run a play where you could lose 8 yards.

Loveland should have thrown it away to leave them pinned against their own end zone. 

Maybe to start this drive JJ can stick his finger up his butt and jump around on his own 20!! THAT'LL sure trick TCU!!

I am a firm believer that when points present themselves, you take them when it is early in the game. Play it conservatively and take the points. Perhaps later in the game you become more aggressive, but that is only after you get a feel for the flow of the game. 

On top of that, they take the ball out of their 5 start QBs hands and run that shit. 

You spend an entire season slamming into the center of the line on short and goal, and in the championship semi-final, you decide to get wacky?

Both the timing of that playcall and its execution left a hell of a lot to be desired.

It all worked out in the end.  We get the ball back with good field position, now let's ram it down their throats

Let’s see what happens here. The devil’s advocate on the last play call is that you didn’t give them confidence by getting your line stuffed. They know we can move the ball though, and I like the idea of staying aggressive.

EDIT: Nevermind.

That call on 4th could have gone either way. Sucks that the CB sniffed the play and covered JJ. I would have punched it through the middle behind the best OL in the country 

It feels like you can totally live with them getting stuffed in the 4th and 2 but that random play call is so odd. 

a Big12 punt

crap

That said, hard to complain so far. Let’s put this one in. 

Dang

Oh man.  This not what I was hoping for 

Fuck me.

Fuck

Well this game has been nothing short of a disaster since Edwards's run. What the fuck. Absolutely collapsing.

Fuuuuuk.

Need to settle down.

Run. The. Ball.

Nightmare start. 

JFC...way to hand them all the momentum!!!

*Sighs* JFC.

That’s how you lose these games. 

That 4th down play will live in infamy if we lose. 

At least we don’t have to worry about him going to the NFL early lol 

Well that’s not good. 

Fuck

Wtf, get it together 

Game over, they are faster than us.

We’re getting the bad JJ today, aren’t we

Oops

Bruh

10 point swing right here. 

Following the script for choking away the game.

Ok then

Well that sucks.

Damn…need to settle the hell down and get back to basics here. 

Well. shit. 

We certainly have the recipe for a loss. Gave away redzone points and a defensive score. Jfc

too tight a window...can't let the DB get inside leverage like that, better to turn it up the field and then try to drop it in along the sidelines

this game could not have started worse. 

What the fuck are we even doing man 

Stupid fucking playcalling. Glad to see the team turtling.

Michigan and being shit in bowl games. A tried and true tradition like no other. 

Glad to see the coaches overthinking have potentially cost us the lead early and momentum. 

Good thing to play tight boys.... TCU is playing with absolutely no pressure and Michigan is afraid to screw up already

Hard to see what JJ was thinking with Bell bracketed by two white shirts.

Going to need to look off this TCU secondary. 

Way to go dumbasses. They just flipped the game.
