Michigan under Harbaugh: 1-8 when allowing 30+ points

For some context, Lloyd Carr was 9-18 when the other team scored 30 points.   Yeah Harbaugh should be better than 1-8, but Michigan football has never intended to get into shootouts.
 

Well his record would be better if the defense gave up more points all those games where we won 42-7.

Yes, the offense sucks ass we’ve seen a million of the same posts. Part of me thinks Harbaugh knows this is his last season and is headed back to the NFL and that’s why he gave up play calling duties. I’m not ready to give up on this team yet. We looked like shit last year too, and responded with 10 straight wins after the Notre Dame again. I think we’ve seen enough of Josh Gattis. Harbaugh needs to take complete control of this offense and not be a emotionless spectator. No doubt he’s lost this team as of now. Still scared as shit of the post Harbaugh era, if he couldn’t bring M back who can? No big time coach is leaving their current job for a Job you’ll get fired for averaging 10 wins.

What's the average record of teams that allow 30+ points?

but shouldn't we expect our offense to be able to bail our defense out even 2% of the time? 

Isn't 1/8 12.5%? [edit: 1/9 = 11.1%, misread the stat]

W-L of 1-8 is 11% of the time.  Quit bitching.  Fact is Man ball is what Tressel and LLLoyd used and they didn't pull off that many routes either.

Look, Michigan is 0-142 in games in which I have not played for the team and they lost.

I'm just waiting for the next statistic someone spouts to highlight our ineptitude as a program and doesn't rationally include the pros.

"1-8" ... "even 2% of the time"

Math is hard.

How many times do we need to be reminded that UM underachieves?

We're not allowed to show disparaging stats against Harbaugh.  It's not fair.  He took us to national relevance again.

Which, btw, how as Haruabugh actually done this?  We see all these stats on how poor Michigan is on the road, against better or equal foes, against ranked teams, yadda yadda yadda, and yet, people say he took us to relevance.  I don't think getting our butts handed to us by better/equal competition is being relevant.  Michigan/Harbaugh is the butt-end of jokes nationwide.  No one takes Michigan serious.

Sure, Harbaugh recruits well....so did Hoke.

Hoke has been no different than Harbaugh, other than we have a slightly more competent offense and can put away lesser opponents.  

Harbaugh 's defenses have only given up 30+ points 9 times?

Wow, Oklahoma did that 7 times, just last year!

Of course, this is just another reason they are going through the transition nightmare, so they can be a team that has a Dynamic offense and win shootouts.

That Indiana game also involved Jehu Chesson becoming Randy Moss for a few hours. It was super fun, but never felt sustainable.

But 1-0 when scoring 78.

What do you know.  When your opponent scores a lot of points they tend to beat you....

Everyone knows Michigan's offense under harbaugh is a plodding disaster. That is why falling behind early is so demoralizing.  It's been this way for 5 years.

After Taylor broke that 70 yard run I knew we were going to lose.

Not a surprise.  The Harbaugh offenses do not score enough to overcome 30 or more points.

We're trying to win games with our defense in an era where everything is set up to encourage more scoring.

Data like this requires context for analysis.  Lloyd Carr went 9-18 over his career at Michigan when the opposition scored 30 or more points over 13 seasons.  Much smaller sample size for Harbaugh, and i’d Put my finger on our QB injuries as being a significant contributor to Harbaugh’s numbers.

Most teams that give up 30+ points in a game usually lose said game.

This is a ridiculous analysis. Of course we lose most if not all games where opponents score over 30+.  Do you think even Saban won over a fourth of his games his first 5-6 years at Bama when he gave up about 30+ points?  Not a chance.
