I've assuredly played more football than you and Speight was atrocious. Marginally is a compliment to how bad he was against 2 of the worst fbs teams in the country and singlehandedly kept a bad Florida team in the game against us. So yeah, marginally.

USC is making this a game now; whatever turnover malaise afflicted them in the 1st half have disappeared.

upshot: more shots of those smoking hot SC cheerleaders. damn.

They feed off our misery. They are young and questionable in talent but they now have supreme confidence since we handed them a game last week. We should have stuck a fork in them instead of making their season

I'm going the distance tonight.

I don't know how many more M wins we'll get where I can watch college football all night afterwards.

Boise St. is up 14-0 on SDSU.

Arizona St. is up 7-0 on Washington.

Oregon and Stanford have kicked.

Washington is struggling BIG TIME against ASU. 

 

Would be kinda funny if both Washington teams lost this weekend.

can't get out of their own way.  They let a fat, slow return guy go 55 yards with the kick off, and then Sparty fumbles AGAIN on the the next play.  Bounces right into their DBs hands, and he promptly farts it out of bounds.

and the second half is turnovers.  3 by USC in first half (fumbles) , 0 in the second.    If Michigan had fwon the turnover battle last week they would have won the game by 2 touchdowns or more.

Can someone explain to me the reason why Stanford does the pitch to Love?  They regularly line  up in I-form, then have the QB pitch it directly behind him to Love a couple yards back (and then Love hits the joystick and murders everyone).

It's not a pitch out to one side or the other as the back is already moving, which is what you typically see.  It's straight behind the QB, and frankly it seems kind of slow developing. 

What is the point of that?  To give Love full options? To force him to wait for the blocking to develop?

We ran the same play against Purdue.

LSU runs it all the time.

I believe it has something to do with some kind of counter actiion, but I'll let the experts answer.

But since it's so late, you may want to look up the Purdue UFR. I want to say it was Evans that scored on it.

Hot dang. I imagine Michigan wanted to hang onto this one until at least MSU because it’s nasty. McKeon leaves backside, which is what he’s done on the counter stuff Michigan’s done to date; this could also be split zone. ILBs react like it’s the counter and evaporate. On the outside the designated "shoot upfield" guy does that immediately; Ulizio(+1) kicks him out. Gentry(+0.5) sees his guy fight outside in anticipation of a sweep. Gentry locks him out. CB erases self outside when he sees the pitch, and Evans is scoring from literally anywhere on the field. RPS +3.

One thing that bothers me about the write up... I imagine Michigan wanted to hang onto this one until at least MSU because it’s nasty.

 

...you really think because we showed this ONCE we can't run it again effectively?

This drives me nuts about about our offense. If we have a sneaky wrinkle, we never see it again.

For example, that shovel pass to Hill play we saw today. I'd be shocked if we run that again. But why not? Are teams REALLY preparing that much where all guys are going to see a formation and realize the playcall in the middle of a game?
