A RsFr. Peyton Ramsey coached up by Mike Debord/Nick Sheridan had 192 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs against the #1 Defense in the nation, while a RsSr. John O'Korn with 3 years of Harbaugh had 66 yards, and 0 TDs.

...to think JH isn't really that good of a QB coach. Maybe his Stanford teams were successful because of Andrew Luck and not because of who coached him. Not sure how much JH really helped Ruddock either. Maybe Ruddock's success in the last half of the season was due to him gaining experience with the offense, and not JH.
The QB problems I'm seeeing everyone point out seem like they should be ones that a really good QB coach could fix. But I'm not seeing any improvement in the last 1.5 years with JOK and WS. Why is that?
If the two young QBs aren't up to it either, who's responsible for that?
I think JH bears most of the responsibility for where the QBs and offens are right now.

I was bashing the game-plan and playcalling from MSU all this week and my first impression is I agree with this take. Seemed like there were plays there, but were killed by JOK locking onto his pre-snap read or dudes just dropping balls. Plan and playcalling were much better, but I still hold there are major issues with WR and QB coaching as evidenced by our current level of execution.
Kind of off topic, but DPJ made a few yards out of nothing on some shit-blocked screens, and he was wide-open deep for a TD, how is he not getting the ball more? Or are teams zeroing in on him because he's our most explosive WR? How much of that is on the coaches?

and perhaps played with too much edge/emotion and got undisciplined. 16 penalties, yeesh.
Still like their chances any given Saturday but goodness, they are finding new ways to not lose

"Peters is not "loud" enough to play."
reminds me of someone talking about needing to "hear" football.
ugh...

In other words, I don’t wish Devin Gardner’s sack totals on him.

Last week we tried airing it out as a change of pace and it got us three INTs in the second half.
Our passing game is just a mess right now. When it wasn't O'Korn getting happy feet and throwing to covered guys, it was Perry, McKeon or Crawford dropping passes. (Or, when we ran a great shovel pass, it was a delay of game penalty.)
If we can run for 250 yards or whatever, I'm fine with that. All three TDs came on the ground.

There is no chance that we will run out a redshirt freshman QB for his first game on the road at Happy Valley in a night white-out. All we can do is hope that the running game continues to step forward and that the defense gives an epic performance. Because O Korn cannot play QB.

Michigan is clearly in a rebuilding year. There are some coaching issues without a doubt, but at the same time, when you have a QB who simply cannot play the position, your options are extremely limited. The most disappointing thing is that Peters somehow hasn't passed O'Korn.

On paper, this was always supposed to be the toughest year of the Harbaugh era. We returned only 5 of 22 starters and don't have a lot of upperclassmen. The Florida win got peoples' hopes up but it turns out they aren't too hot either.

you got it, sounds spot on. maybe it clicks in year 3 for peters but not a good sign at all that hes not even remotely considered an option on this struggling O. yes, their D and kicking have been good enough to win a few games with a little run game so i somewhat understand the staffs position and thought process (of trying not to lose it on O via turnovers and whatnot) but that approach wont cut it vs better teams on schedule

Higdon was certainly the star but Isaac had 7 carries for 38 yards (5.4 ypc), not too shabby.
The most encouraging thing was that our OL actually opened up some big holes at times. It's been awhile.

set it up so that the kick could have gone to either side of the field? Which every way they kicked it, they wanted a 5 on 5.

seems silly. This is football in 2017, you don't send your backs out 40 times a game and expect them to last the season. It's not like this was *the* big game of the season or something.

Next week we play with no pressure and I like to think OKlown benefits from that
