Fuck OSU. Looks like our guys can play too when they’re getting paid and can focus on football and practice all day.

Former @UMichFootball star Jabrill Peppers picks off former Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins and takes it to the HOUSE! #WASvsNYG pic.twitter.com/pEL8I7LJ2w

Wow, that was no gift pick either. Great play by Jabrill
September 29th, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
Sigh--wish Jabrill was in the Big House last year to pick off Haskins a couple of times in The Game.
September 29th, 2019 at 3:46 PM ^
Peppers being in the Big House last year would have had no bearing on The Game...
September 29th, 2019 at 4:31 PM ^
Did you even watch The Game?
September 29th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
I think what he's saying is that the game wasn't in the big house last year, it was @osu.
September 29th, 2019 at 4:52 PM ^
I think he was saying Peppers being in the league last year it wouldn't have mattered since he'd be on the sideline watching.
Unless he meant he wished Peppers was still eligible and in uniform last year.
Then it that case, I would also wish that Tom Brady, Woodson, Atrain, Manningham, Denard, Frank Clark, uninjured Gary and Winovich, Chris Hutchinson, Glenn Steele, the true linemen Glasgows, Taylor Lewan, and Steve Everitt were also available for the 2018 edition of The Game as well.
September 29th, 2019 at 5:12 PM ^
It’s like an old boss of mine used to say,.... “If ....“Ifs”... were “Fifths,” we’d all be drunk!
September 29th, 2019 at 10:44 PM ^
I think he was saying that even if Jabrill was eligible. Him being at the Big House would not have helped Michigan win at the Shoe.
Also those other players would have been useless at the Big House too.
September 29th, 2019 at 4:52 PM ^
Right. I'm a moran.
September 29th, 2019 at 4:54 PM ^
My memories of that beat down are so fuzzy I forgot it was played in ohio.
September 29th, 2019 at 4:09 PM ^
Haskins has a stronger arm than I thought
September 29th, 2019 at 5:02 PM ^
Don't think he could have qualified for a 6th year even if he stayed
September 29th, 2019 at 8:22 PM ^
Yeah that 62-39 pasting last year was bad. It's too Jabril couldn't experience a win against Ohio State.
September 29th, 2019 at 3:38 PM ^
Michigan beat Ohio State?
September 29th, 2019 at 3:39 PM ^
Maybe it's a harbinger of November. One can always hope.
September 29th, 2019 at 3:44 PM ^
Awesome!
Man, was he fun to watch fly around the field.
September 29th, 2019 at 6:08 PM ^
Nobody embedded a video clip? So I’m just supposed to look up the play on my own?!
I’ve come to expect more from you techie board posters.
September 29th, 2019 at 3:51 PM ^
Didn't know he was even still playing.
September 30th, 2019 at 9:33 AM ^
Shouldn't you be hanging out at 11 fake warriors?
September 29th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
Ha! Karma! Go Blue!
September 29th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
Pep-O-Meter in full effect.
September 29th, 2019 at 4:52 PM ^
I love the fact that after Haskins talked shit about the Giants passing on him and taking Daniel Jones, Haskins throws 3 picks and gets blown out my the Daniel Jones led Giants
September 29th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
Great to judge Haskins career in the NFL on one game.
September 29th, 2019 at 11:45 PM ^
Damn you’re dumb. Slow down and reread my post and then ask yourself how I judged his career. Never mind, I’ll help you out. I made a comment how Haskins sucked in his first game, against the team that he thought should have drafted him, and was using the qb that he thinks he’s better than.
September 30th, 2019 at 11:59 PM ^
When did Haskins talk shit about the Giants?
The only comments I remember him making was pre-draft about how the Giants were his childhood team when he was growing up in New Jersey:
"It'd be a dream come true," he said about the possibility of the Giants drafting him. "As far as being able to go back home and play for that great franchise, with great skill players. Either way what happens, I'm excited to be in the NFL … New York would be a great spot for me."
September 29th, 2019 at 4:55 PM ^
Why do OSU quarterbacks look like Superman in college but look like Lois Lane in the NFL?
Haskins was terrible.
September 29th, 2019 at 5:12 PM ^
I don't think Haskins is a franchise qb. Dan Snyder (Redskins owner) is making football personnel decisions through his VP of Football Operations, Bruce Allen.
Jay Gruden, the HC and Doug Williams, the GM have to put up with the owner's stupid moves.
September 29th, 2019 at 6:10 PM ^
Agreed, I'm not that high on him as a NFL prospect. He looks great when he has all day to throw a short pass to a ridiculously fast receiver on a crossing pattern. Get some pressure on him or force him to throw into tight windows and he starts to look very pedestrian.
September 29th, 2019 at 8:23 PM ^
Yeah all 50 of his touchdowns last year were screen passes.
September 29th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
You really don't need all day to throw short pass to a ridiculously fast receiver.
September 29th, 2019 at 6:13 PM ^
Who will see more career NFL starts....Shea or Haskins?
September 29th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
well given that haskins has one, i'd say that pretty much answers the question. glad shea is at michigan, but unless he suddenly becomes baker mayfield i don't see him being drafted, much less playing a down in the NFL. i hope he proves me terribly wrong, but from what i've seen and heard, its not going to happen.
September 29th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
Shea will be lucky to get drafted
September 29th, 2019 at 10:22 PM ^
The Ravens will draft him in the 6th or 7th round. Remember this!
September 30th, 2019 at 9:21 AM ^
Lots of non-franchise QBs have NFL starts.
September 30th, 2019 at 9:21 AM ^
So sorry, double post.
September 29th, 2019 at 6:59 PM ^
That's been true with Snyder since he bought the team. His awful hire of Spurrier was his idea only and changed college FB forever.
If Spurrier never leaves Florida, Urban probably ends up at ND after the 2004 season instead of UF.
September 29th, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
Because College is the best if the “Amateur” league. It’s not professional football.
September 29th, 2019 at 5:17 PM ^
also, that’s why I prefer it over the NFL. No allegiance for players in the NFL.
September 29th, 2019 at 8:57 PM ^
Not sure that college players have an allegiance either, especially when they feel confident about their draft status.
September 29th, 2019 at 5:42 PM ^
As terrible as bolded text on a message board?
September 29th, 2019 at 5:49 PM ^
Certainly as terrible as a forum poster that is so inexperienced here that he doesn’t know that the site decides your text formatting for you.
September 29th, 2019 at 6:11 PM ^
Because they play in the big 10 on a team of fellow 5-stars against significantly worse talent. Let me give you a reference: OSU v Nebraska last night.
September 29th, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
Another reference would be OSU versus Michigan last year.
September 29th, 2019 at 7:35 PM ^
The former OSU QB with the most NFL success had to switch positions to punter. I give you one Tom Tupa.
Highest career completion percentage in the NFL? Two tied at 56.3% (Joe Germaine - threw 16 NFL passes, Terrelle Pryor - threw 311 NFL passes).
Highest TD/Int Ratio? 39/33 (Kent Graham). Only one other former OSU QB has had a positive TD/Int ratio in NFL history (Troy Smith - 8/5; threw a total of 234 NFL passes). Dwayne Haskins currently sits at 0/3.
Mike Tomczak had the longest NFL stint at the position as career backup, going 1248/2337 (53.4% completion %), 88/106 TD to INT ratio.
If I gave even one crap about the NFL, this information would be more amusing to me. As it is, all this tells me is that mediocre QBs go to OSU to be surrounded by far superior talent and win games.
Credit cleveland.com columnist Tim Bielik for the stats.
September 29th, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
Shows how bad college teams are compared to the NFL. A so so Giants team treats Haskins like a freshman Sun Belt QB.
September 30th, 2019 at 3:18 AM ^
As a life-long Giants fan, I appreciate them (especially the defense) being called "so so," although, I assure you they are far worse than so so. I was happy for me that we got Peppers, but frankly saddened for him that he has to play on a team going nowhere.
Haskins looked bad, although the last pick he threw hit his TE Davis in the chest and bounced up; his timing with his receivers was off-- to be expected of a rookie that hasn't gotten first-team reps.
September 29th, 2019 at 7:22 PM ^
This was Haskins' first NFL touchdown pass, too.
