Gatiss' offense vs. Hamiltons... what did you see different?

Everything 

Only real complaint was putting dcaff out at WR. Hate that shit. It never works. Maybe you could line them both up in the backfield. Then you’d have a quintuple option. Snap to Shea who could hand off or throw or run. If handed off then dcaff could also throw or run. But even then your taking one of our rbs off the field. Charbonnet looked excellent. 

We have three NFL WR's and one didn't play.  It is now a priority to get them the ball.  That is what was missing last year.  Also we will have better players vs. every team we play except one.  It then makes sense to run more plays than the other team.  The pace last night was much better and to our advantage.  They were rolling in the 2nd qtr.  After that, I don't think the 1st team offense skill players played much of the 2nd half.  To conclude, we will be fine offensively.  

It was refreshing to see Michigan attack MTSU downfield for the McKeon touchdown one play after Ronnie Bell dropped the wide open touchdown on a downfield shot. Aggressive play calling. With our talent that’s what we’ve been hoping for.

Oh I would say just about everything.  I will say though in both offenses I can’t stand the trickery.  It seems like In any offense they are just absolute drive killers.  I don’t like the two qbs on the field at the same time.  I don’t believe any of those plays worked and one ended in a penalty because our Qb did not know where we were at on the play clock which is inexcusable.  I like the offense overall they have a lot of work to do and hopefully some guys can get healthy.

It’s a completely different offense schematically and despite what scheme it is, calling offensive plays also means calling them in a sequence. Flat out- Pep Hamilton sucked. Last night, Gattis is using misdirection, power, AND spreading the ball around to his best players. People on here are already bitching but Middle Tennessee State is NOT a pushover opponent and they are well coached. Michigan did well. The concern is the defense. Schematically, it has not been tweaked at all and there will be tremendous pressure on the Db’s and LB’s covering people. Glasgow covering people scares me

I think it's a Godsend that we have an early bye week this year. The schedule set up so that we have two "preseason games" and then an extra week of practice before having to go through the grind. For a team trying to iron things out with a new offense, that is incredibly advantageous.

Some very obvious things, like the no huddle. But one thing that drove me nuts from yesterday’s game was the way that we ran zone read while also bring a WR across the mesh point. It looked like we had three possible runners, but the plays never went anywhere. I understand some of the logic there though, might turn into a modern twist on the triple option.  

The drive with back to back RPOs was what I expected out of a Gattis offense. Really felt like the play calling had MTSU reeling the whole time and countered everything they were trying to do, and then countered the reaction to the counters.

The rest of the game was pretty meh, but I guess that's somewhat expected except for a play or two here and there. 

I didn't like the DCaff stuff, even though it was effective. The slot WR being on the line and covered up screamed run, and seemed like a gimmick play they designed for him to carry the ball and not part of an offensive system. 

Electing not to have a version of the Hammering Panda for goal line situations may have been short sighted.
