Offense exploded. Great to see. I have confidence that if we are not at our best on one phase of the game, our coaches will put us in the best spot to win. Great game plan on offense. We did get burned by the ST on a couple of runs, but I give them a pass because of bad refs. At least one of them should have been called back. That one TD is just great play by a good player. You are never going to not allow anything on ST. Overall, great coaching today. I see that there is a lot more packges installed now.

The team was sloppy at times and seemed for the second straight week to play down to their opponent. But, one year after losing to Rutgers, Michigan can win by 33 despite these issues. I think we have to conclude the coaching has been a-okay. Another thought: This coaching staff being flagged for "intent to deceive" is a microcosm of one of the major differences between them and last year's staff. Harbaugh wants to out-execute you and out-think you.

One of the things I love about this coaching staff is little they care about proving something by running straight into a brick wall a dozen times. This group is always using plays to set up other plays, based on what they've seen in film and how they've seen the opponent come out during the current week. It's fun to be on the side that has the smart coaches...and players...

I mean they won by 33 and would have been 43 if not for the asinine intent to deceive penalty. Outside of one big Rutgers run and the KO return, they basically decimated an overmatched Rutgers team.

Coaching has been excellent so far this year.

Even the PI calls are acceptable as the staff has he DBs in the pocket if WRs. Drevno has the OLine probably performing as well as possible with no deep threat. Offense was "deceptive" and unpredictable. Another game with problematic Sp Teams, but Baxter has them at a higher level than last year. Overall, very well coached.

I feel like the staff can't help themselves from playing Peppers on offense even they don't need to because it's too much damn fun. It reminds me of that one Minnesota game where they had Denard, Fitz, and Gardner all in the backfield together and were just dialing up one gadget play after another.
