LOL... "It was the kind of encounter that should have ended with yellow police tape surrounding the crime scene and about 40 different chalk outlines of Penn State’s defensive line strewn across the field."

In other words, the same questions everyone was pelting Cade with. The difference is that JJ makes the run game harder to stop in ways that Cade didn't. Michigan's coaching staff the last two years seems to have a big picture process in mind, and the offense is rapidly getting better. I do wish they'd scrap some of the under center stuff that is super predictable, but that's about it.

Except cade couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn this year, his ball location to the receivers to the ground or stopping them rather than hitting them in stride for YAC and got to them a full beat later than JJ based on arm talent, you’re correct, exactly the same issues - NOT

As much as I want to dislike that last comment, it was an embarrassing end to an embarrassing season, amid a uniquely challenging time. I really don't even want to think about what The Game would have looked like that year. Regardless, it seems something shifted in Coach, and the team on the field since is finally living out his vision. I would love to see Corum repeat Haskins performance next month. Go Blue!

A little snarky about the defense, and a cheap shot about the covid cancellation. Those are a little out of character. I think they're starting to feel the heat.

Great title. What can a TOSU fan say? My observation is that TOSU is starting to take UM more seriously. I also really hope that JJ gets the long passing game over the top in order.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well in posts. My saying "TOSU" highlights the utter absurdity of the practice. What kinda idiots would say "THE Ohio State University." They are so cluelessly unaware of how insecure they must be to say such a thing. Whatever. As I said, sarcasm is impossible to read in a post.

"This is everything a fan of this rivalry could hope for."

I respect these guys. Their criticism of our red-zone offense is, for now, worth noting. And their questions about JJ, which the rest of us have had (how durable will he prove if he has to run it 12 times? just how mistake-prone might he prove under bigger pressure?) are going to linger. 

I love the fact that we've got a bye and four games to get ready for OSU. That's a lot of time for refinement. I wonder if we'll air it out against Illinois to keep the backs fresh?
