Doug Skene Offers Tremendous Analysis
I consider former OL Doug Skene to be the leading analyst when it comes to Michigan football. The guy provides cogent, thoughtful insight to the game better than any other commentator. He also has strong opinions on the program which shouldn’t be overlooked. A few snippets from his most recent podcast w Chris Balas:
1. snap count at PSU never changed, which gave PSU D a great advantage in pressuring UM’s O. Calls out coaches for not making a simple adjustment;
2. Much like Jake Long, he laments the OL for walking from sideline to huddle, and really blasts them for contributing to a delay of game penalty before first snap;
3. Detests ND and wants them off schedule permanently;
4. Questions effort of some of the guys (doesn’t mention by name) who are interested in self not team w an eye toward NFL.
A great listen for those of us who want to hear insightful commentary from someone who played the game at UM. Far superior to the mindless prattle from WTKA or even podcasts found here and elsewhere.

Devin Gardner is by far the best M analyst I've had the pleasure to listen to on Spath's show on wkta.
Insightful and constructively critical.

Didnt Doug Skene get the memo? You dont criticize the players. They are just kids. Womt someone think of the children?

There is no need to schedule ND with the difficult schedule we already have. No benefit really. The playoff committee is never going to reward a difficult schedule by favoring it over win/loss record.

The only thing of those points that seems correct could be point 2. Yet again another derpy collection of takes after Saturday night.

I would argue the snap count never changed because it was a white out at Beaver Stadium, and its more important that your line KNOWS when to move than try to trick the DL. Trust your guys to win when the odds are even.
