Maybe Minnesota sucks
October 30th, 2020 at 11:12 PM ^
Yikes. Minnesota sucks
October 30th, 2020 at 11:12 PM ^
Tough break for Minny there. Terps so lucky.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:16 PM ^
Yeah, the team that had 675 yards on 66 plays was lucky to win the game.
Minnesota was lucky to be within 2 TDs of Maryland tonight.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:18 PM ^
So getting the missed xp was skill?
October 30th, 2020 at 11:13 PM ^
That poor kid just transferred there to be a holder. Now he has to do all the kicking and be put in high pressure situations.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:13 PM ^
The rowing of the boat shall be done without oars.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:18 PM ^
Either oars?
October 30th, 2020 at 11:27 PM ^
Oar not.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:14 PM ^
They were up 38-21 in the 4th!
October 30th, 2020 at 11:14 PM ^
NW will kill us all this season, apparently.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:14 PM ^
They were up 38-21 in the 4th!
October 30th, 2020 at 11:15 PM ^
Not a big deal. Won a B1G game on the road by 25.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:24 PM ^
To be fair the game against us was never really in doubt after the first quarter so I wouldn’t panic
October 30th, 2020 at 11:16 PM ^
Lloydball in Q4.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:36 PM ^
Tresselball fits better since Fleck is part of Tressel's coaching tree.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:16 PM ^
Well, good thing we beat them by 25 on the road then.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:16 PM ^
Wow. Talk about a fool’s gold win. Ugh. Have a bad feeling about tomorrow all of a sudden.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:20 PM ^
Now, now no PBONE ... MSU sucks worse than Minnesota
October 30th, 2020 at 11:57 PM ^
I still think we have a solid win tomorrow, but they arent going to turn it over 7 times.
October 31st, 2020 at 8:54 AM ^
And we aren’t Rutgers.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^
If tanner would have pulled the ball on the zone read a few times in the 4th they win the game. Reminds me of Patterson last year. I thought he was the worst zone read q.b. Looks like I might have been wrong.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:18 PM ^
Not maybe.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:18 PM ^
A definite possibility but I think this one was more to do with coaching and Minnesota completely turtling after they went up 17 in the 4th, just tried to run the clock out the entire quarter
October 30th, 2020 at 11:30 PM ^
That dog don't hunt no more.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:20 PM ^
Minnesota is going with more of a self-immolating boat theme this year: Quemar los barcos.
That defense is god-awful.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:20 PM ^
On the positive side, Sparty is looking like a legit contender to go 0-8.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:23 PM ^
How exactly is this relevant? Idiots like you make Michigan state feel important...
October 31st, 2020 at 12:04 AM ^
Cranky much?
October 31st, 2020 at 12:53 AM ^
Because we play them in a few hours...
October 31st, 2020 at 10:49 AM ^
Quit drinking and go to bed.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:22 PM ^
Terps offense looking sooooo much better tonight than last week> Have put up 614 yards on just 57 plays.. Almost 11 yards a play. Crazy production.
--------
So how bad is the Minnesota defense?
October 30th, 2020 at 11:34 PM ^
Might be the defensive equivalent of the 2008 Michigan offense.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:23 PM ^
Not mayb Minnesota sucks... this is why it frustrates the hell outta me with this whole offensive philosophy. Clearly the team is trash and their defense is beyond trash. Open up the offense and let Milton pass for 40+ attempts. It’s the only way he will ever be able to beat Ohio state. Tomorrow against Michigan state let Milton throw it and throw it consistently. If he fucks up we ain’t beating Ohio state anyways. Harbaugh won’t do any of this. Instead he’ll run the ball 30 times and brag about how amazing our oline is then we play a team with a pulse we can’t run and Milton looks confused. It’s the same shit over and over....please prove me wrong tomorrow
October 30th, 2020 at 11:33 PM ^
We're all exhausted from losing to OSU, but this being your takeaway from a poorly coached, poorly played Minnesota - Maryland Friday night game is a bit unhinged. Minny probably sucks, and OSU is probably more talented than UM, but let's not take a transitive approach to the rest of the season without even playing it.
While I don't disagree with all your points, this take is a bit more OSU PTSD then just accepting that college football performance (especially outside the top 3-5 teams in the country) is extremely unpredictable.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:48 PM ^
Osu is probably more talented??
October 30th, 2020 at 11:35 PM ^
Dude, I read this in a whining voice.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:41 PM ^
Fun fact: points scored against Minn and MSU don't actually give us points against OSU. Milton throwing any number of passes against these two teams will not impact the OSU game one iota. Let it go.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:47 PM ^
No shit off course it doesn’t but I don’t want Milton looking like a lost lamb when he plays a defense with a pulse. Give him reps let’s see how “amazing” his arm is. The fact that I have to explain this amazes me.
October 31st, 2020 at 12:08 AM ^
Giving him 10 more reps against a shit defense isn’t going to make him any less lost when he plays against a good one. He gets enough reps between games and practices that an extra 10 against a bad D isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference. The fact that this has to be explained to you amazes me.
October 31st, 2020 at 12:45 AM ^
Yep.
RX's hatred of the running game is interesting. The running game *is exactly how you beat Ohio State* and control the clock and pace of that game. You want a track meet, kid? Maybe resting your defense is a good idea too.
Against a team that is probably more talented you grind that game a bit and (obviously) balance passing, QB runs (having a QB willing to run on the option to take the free yards does seems nice). If you can punch them in the mouth with your offensive line over four quarters then you do it.
It's not Madden.
October 31st, 2020 at 10:50 AM ^
I have to imagine you woke up with one hell of a hangover this morning. No more drinking and mgoblog for you.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:27 PM ^
Fleck doing his hoke impersonation..run the ball 30 times up the gut in the 4th quarter did him in!
October 30th, 2020 at 11:37 PM ^
Maybe, maybe not. It’s a weird year. Just keep winning each week.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:37 PM ^
Their defense definitely does.
And Maryland's defense also sucks. And Locksley might be the dumbest coach in the B1G.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:49 PM ^
Fleck is playing himself into career-long purgatory in Minnesota. Kiss the warm weather goodbye PJ, no Texas, Florida or Cali for you!
October 31st, 2020 at 12:09 AM ^
At least Michigan fans will finally start to stop calling for us to fire Harbaugh for Fleck.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:49 PM ^
Bateman came back for this... To be 0-2. Just shows how you need all areas, especially special teams, to win games.
October 31st, 2020 at 12:16 AM ^
Yes, and Michigan broke in a brand new starting QB and four starting offensive linemen. We missed three FGs and left maybe 6 to 14 points on the field. We beat Minnesota's butts soundly on the road and demolished the 3 point spread. Year 2 of Gattis' system is starting to pay dividends. And Don Brown will be Don Brown against any B1G foe that is not OSU. Michigan is pretty good this year.
As others have said, this is college football and the transitive property mostly does not work. We are going to run MSU back to E Lansing. Milton will get 200+ yards through the air and the running game will amass 250+ on the ground. Sparty will get a TD, maybe two, and a FG or two at best.
Sticking with my score prediction from another thread: Michigan 41, MSU 10.
October 31st, 2020 at 12:22 AM ^
We might not know anything about our team until we play Penn State. Minnesota was clearly overrated, msu is terrible, Indiana isn’t very good (PSU had more than twice as many yards than the Hoosiers, but made way too many mistakes and still should’ve won), Wisconsin won’t have a QB if we even play, Rutgers is Rutgers, and then we finally play a team with a pulse and we’ll find out what kind of team we have. I’m not complaining and I’ll gladly take a 5-0 record and a top 10 (maybe top 5) ranking.
October 31st, 2020 at 12:24 AM ^
Flecks boat appears to have already sunk 2 games into the season
