Game Thread - Michigan Vs. Maryland - Noon - Fox

Run run pass punt. Good times 

Yeah, I mean I expected nothing less than a shitty game

Gattis schooling Minter right now.

Play calling for Maryland looks much better

MD is moving the ball with ease on our D!!!

Come on D, adjust and get a stop

This is really annoying. 

UM looking more like UM than UM looks like UM.

Why are we playing so far off the ball?

Sure, a slow start.  But remember that UMD is playing on Senior Day, looking for its first ranked win in decades, thinks they know Michigan because of Gattis, and thinks they have a clouded opponent because of all the distractions.  This scripted drive won't repeat itself.  We've seen it all year...

Both the offense and defense are struggling.

Kudos to the University for folding like a cheap chair the day before a game.

This is the byproduct of that.

Team isn't focussed.

Not overly shocked how flat they look. It happens, need to wake up now. 

D line needs to wake up 

So going to let Maryland look all-world on O

They have us off balance right now

Hold them here.

Need a stop here. 

Holding them to a FG would be a win here

Let's get a stop

Good pursuit there.

This is that "dumb shit" effect happening to us. Tagoulie is going to try and make a career out of us.  We are going to have some struggles.

Yep...  Got close to the 20 and the defense stiffened.

I love opening up every game with 2 short runs and a dump off pass on third down every game. Why we never attack out of the gate I'll never know. 

And just like that, the 1Q is already halfway over.

As I recall, PSU kicked a FG on their first possession last week. How'd that turn out for them?

Just need to settle down on D and get past this initial series that Maryland typically has very dialed in.

Good stop

Can we throw on first down once ? Just once ?

Pass on 1st down please

That kicked swirved 3 times in the air, that was crazy.

Need to stop being so conservative on offense. 

D line can not play like this next weekend. We need pressure, Henderson and Harrison will tear us up if not

Whelp, this bathtub isn’t going to fill itself.

Offense better get its act together. We need points!

So far they're kicking our butts. I assume the defense is going to tighten up some and the offense is going to be less numbingly predictable.

Starting to think we are kind of trash creatively  without the fired help. 

There is 0 need to be conservative today . . .
