Notre Dame

Submitted by Catchafire on
I am starting to feel confident and bullish about our chances to go into South Bend and leave with a W. When we do, we are going to put the whole college football world on notice. So, why am I confident? Well:

1. Joe Milton. All the good news coming out of camp on Milton is getting me excited. He is pushing all the quarterbacks and putting them on notice. If he is that good, put him in the game, we need to win NOW.

2. Wariner. The offensive line will be better. It has to be better. This is going to be a book for our running backs, which will alleviates pressure on the QB. Running backs improving will benefit our wide receivers. This 2018 offense might be the best we have seen in the last 10 years.

3. Don Brown. He will help our offense improve by showing them the different looks and varieties of defense we will face this season. Steel sharpens steel and nothing is quite as sharp as our defense.

Wolverines are hungry and we are going to feast! this season.

I'm already having a bad day thanks to the Windows update that crashed my computer and this post made my day even worse. Your post gives more worry than hope about the start of football season...

Our defense is elite.  

We only need the offense to be mediocre to win 9 games.  

If our offense finishes top 3 in the league we'll win 11 games.

I never thought we'd have to worry about our offense finishing in the top 3 under Harbaugh - but here we are.

My prediction is we have the 2nd best offense in the league.

"This is going to be a book for our running backs, which will alleviates pressure on the QB."

"All of our QBs are going to be fire."

 

Daydrinking again I see. You really should cut that out.

Our drought without a ranked road win dating back to 2006 started after that greatly satisfying beatdown of Un-Weis and all his "Notre Dame is back" hype. All throughout history, ND has been known for bookending massive winning streaks of dominant programs with losses (Oklahoma in the 50's in football, UCLA during the twilight of the Wooden dynasty in the 70's, etc). I say it's high time we get the Irish to help contribute to the bookending of one of our more dubious losing streaks in U-M football history

is the 4th string Qb, he is going to redshirt, he will have nothing to do with the notre dame game. i would bet money he does not see the field this year, and if he does in garbage time that is stupid to burn his redshirt just like burning omaury samuels redshirt to come in and take knees.

Its posts like these that contribute to the instability of much of the fan base. A little bit of practice hype for Milton, who is most likely playing against the 2nd and 3rd units most of the time and all of a sudden he is going to carry us to victory on the road against ND in week 1??

Arguably the worst thread in MGo history, and I’ve been around since 05. I’ll be here a lot less. Some competitors with less awful threads (I’ll let the users google): - “the edge Michigan football” - GoBlieMochiganWolverine. EROC - Chatsports Michigan And I’d add the links on the sideboard.

Joe Milton is ready to start at Michigan the same way Spencer Britton, Matt Gutierrez, and alDevin Gardner were as freshman. Dude needs at least a year to even learn the system.

I am happy to have a full stable of good QBs. From the freshman to the upperclassmen,there is talent across the board. Milton will push all the QBs to be better!

A road night game against a ranked opponent and ND didn’t have an embarrassing meltdown on national tv in their bowl game. They actually beat an SEC team. Game feels like a defensive chess match.

Great to have a football thread.

Would be even better to have a football thread that made some sense! Oh well, bring on ND!

This could be our year. our time, Harbaugh's time, etc. etc.

You seem like a well intentioned enough fellow. However I cannot abide anything you say in this thread. My goodness those are some terrible posts. You have to be joking. Or at least attempting a joke?

Negged for terrible title. And whoa that Milton thought... yeah, if a freshman starts over two seasoned veterans, we have some problems.

+1 Catchafire! Yes, you're making incorrect assumptions about our quarterback situation based on a clear misreading of practice reports, and, yes, you don't seem to know the problem Warinner (Warriner?) was actually brought to fix, and, yes, you overstate the value in the offense going against Brown's defense every practice.

But fuck all that--I LOVE THE ENTHUSIASM! Go Blue! To hell with Notre Dame!

Let’s pump the brakes on Milton. Umbig11 reported that Shea is clearly in the lead, followed by Peters and Mccaffrey. Peters and Mccaffrey are pushing Shea because they know the playbook better, having studied it and practiced with it longer. Shea is pushing the other guys with his talent and playmaking ability. It’s great to hear positive reports about Milton as a true freshman, but let’s temper them with reality and the actual inside reporting from people in the know. If our best option against a strong ranked opponent in the first game of the year on the road at night is a true freshman, then we are in trouble because our 3 other QBs have been extremely overrated.

I love the enthusiasm. Were all excited for this season! Hopefully the fan base can stay humble until we actually win the games instead of pretending like they did the entire week before the game.

the devil's advocate says: 1. A young untested QB is pushing the veteran QBs.....maybe veterans not that good? 2.There is no guarantee line will be better this year, transition in coaches and players, no real proven lineman. It is also possible line gets worse...... 3. Don Brown's defense also practiced against last year's offenseand......well........hm.
