Most (all?) of OSU's players who are coming back guys were a missed field goal away from beating Georgia and advancing to the title game vs a far inferior TCU team two short years ago. They were one drive away from beating Michigan. They had one terrible showing vs Missouri, but they have have absolutely been contenders for the last three years. Your narrative is delusional.
Get a load of these losers trying to win a national championship. Adorable how they want to be a good team that beats their rival even when that rival will probably take a step back in terms of talent. Imagine.
While the amount of ultra-fragile snowflakes has increased, the majority of young people are still made of strong stuff. Shining a light on caricatures just gets more attention, I guess.
Andrew Jackson and congress's malfeasance may have resulted in us losing the "prize" of the conflict, but Toledo is a shit hole, and The UP, miles of coastline along the greatest of lakes, and Isle Royale is the far greater reward.
I'm at work, so I can't copy/paste my Reddit post, but I'll summarize my summary without my data (because it's not in front of me).
It start off very poorly. He was asked to man up on their DE's regularly and was generally on the losing end. About halfway through the second quarter they started doubleteaming with him a lot more. This helped a lot, but obviously tied two men up.
I was disappointed with how he blocked downfield. He got to the second level a few times, but never really buried any linebackers like I would have liked to see.
I analyzed Ulizio every play and took notes. You can find my post on /r/michiganwolverines. I tried to post it here, but was caught in the spam filter. If someone wants to copy paste it over here, it won't hurt my feelings.
I also did the same thing for Gary:
Some quick obervations:
Gary was doubleteamed 6 times. Twice he had no opportunity to make a play due to it being run away from him or it being a quick pass. Twice he was blown off the ball by the double. And twice he pushed the doubleteam into the backfield.
Florida did not really have anyone chipping him all game. I only saw it once.
Florida only did 13 designed runs while Gary was in the game. 3 were toward Gary's side, 4 were away, and 3 were inside. They ran 3 read option plays. Gary was the read man twice and played with proper technique both times. He made the play one time and was juked by Zaire the other time. That data does not indicate that Florida was purposely running away from Gary's side of the field.
Gary lined up on the strong side of the field (by my own analysis, I don't know how Michigan defines strong side) 25 plays. He lined up on the weak side for 15 plays. They are obviously trying to avoid being predictable with their alignments.
Gary sat out only 9 plays before garbage time. I wasn't specifically watching for Winovich, but I don't ever remember seeing him be taken out.
My conclusion? He played fine. He was not the weapon of mass destruction that many people who watched the game claimed he was, but he was a productive role player who did his job and contributed to the win.
If you are interested in seeing my play by play notes, let me know. I would be happy to post them. I also did this same thing for Ulizio. If you would like my breakdown on him as well, also let me know.
Edit: Also, Jim was right when he complained that the clock was wrong when Michigan received a delay of game call. There were only 29 seconds between the end of the previous play and the clock hitting zero.
Can't make a thread, so I'm stealing yours. There have been a lot of people commenting on Gary's performance. I have seen several posts saying that Gary was dominant because he was fighting off double or even triple teams every play. I didn't see this during the game, so rewatched the game, focused exclusively on Gary, and recorded what happened to him every play.

If you are willing to drive, there are several wonderful state parks within a few hours of Nashville. Fall Creek Falls is pretty special if you are willing to endure the two hour drive. Burgess falls is a little over an hour from Nashville and that is pretty cool as well.

100% go for it. Drives can stall out in a variety of places, and five yards away from the end zone is definitely one of the better possible outcomes.

Overall, it was a disappointing performance.
I haven't analyzed Hurst's game, but I am inclined to agree. If he satys healthy, I suspect he will be out MVP at the end of the year.

Antebellum Southerners loved the Greeks because they were a highly advanced civilization that embraced slavery.
