… a pass to Truuuuu Wilson, complete for 15 yards. UNCO vs. Colorado. Good luck to both former Wolverines.

I really hope Gattis can call a few games competently this year. I don't want to see Army 2.0 tomorrow or I'll just sell my remaining tickets right after.

Harbaugh made great calls to an almost 40ppg average up to Iowa 2016 or is he only responsible when the offense fails? This Gattis is being held back shit is just a horrible take. Harbaugh would control the offense enough to screw it up but also be cool with losing the full back? The head coach is responsible for the over all results (not good bob) but this pass for Gattis is just wild. He is responsible for not being able to put together an offense that can get to the line in under 30 seconds. This is his mess and he is Harbaughs mess.

McCaffrey threw a bad pick at the end of the 1st half, when UNC was down 14-0 and inside the CU 15.

Overall, a very chippy football game, with the chippy-ness mostly from the UNC side.  Can't say I've ever seen that from the FCS team in an FBS/FCS match-up.  Overall, not necessarily a good reflection on Coach McCaffrey.

Northern Colorado vs Colorado...seems pretty obvious that it'd be a bit chippy and especially from the underdog team. Easy to forget that FCS teams are full of guys who played on the same HS teams as the guys going to power conference FBS schools and usually were fellow star players. They may not have gotten FBS offers...but many of them probably hoped/thought they may get them. CU being likely pretty high on the wishlist of a good few of the players on UNC.

Hope they both do well! I always thought McCaffery would be the quarterback at Michigan by now. I have to wonder if the game injuries he sustained are what stopped him.

For all the criticisms levied at Harbaugh, I thought he's been treated too lightly when it came to DMacs injury against PSU. You're up 30+ points. Why run a read option with your highly touted backup QB. If it's Milton, I understand a bit more since he was 3rd string. But you have RBs on the team for a reason.

I'm pretty convinced that he had taken over for Patterson at Wisconsin - for the rest of the season.  Until UW head hunted him on several plays, before finally connecting.  That injury put him behind everyone else, and by the time he got back on the field was too far behind the others to catch up.

Bad luck on his part, and on Michigan's part.

He looked pretty in inconsistent.  Had one INT and could have easily had at least one more when he starred down his target over the middle and threw into coverage.  Overall he was 24/42, 236 yds, 57%, 1 TD, 1 INT, 107 passer rating.  He didn't look like anything special.  I was expecting him to look a bit better than Milton, but it's hard to say which one was more effective or that either one was anything special.  I don't think UM would be happy with either performance.  I'll be curious to see what McNamara will do, but I think in what little we've seen of him he looks better and being the younger guy likely has more growth/development still in him.

McNamara is better than all of those QBs except Patterson, and like I've said, I think both he and JJ can get to Shea's level and I think McNamara will pass it from an accuracy perspective and JJ will pass it from an overall QB perspective.
