First win over a ranked team since 2013. Clearly our coaches out coached the BYU coaches. I can't remember the last time our coaches had a dominant performance like that. Not to mention the actual players on the field.

Went straight to Mattison and Durkin. As he should've.
Loved the double screen playcall. Only gripe is too many first down passes that left us in 2nd and 10 where we had to pass.
September 26th, 2015 at 8:12 PM ^
I actually love the first down passing. I've had enough zone runs to the left side on first down to last me 10 lifetimes.

September 26th, 2015 at 3:22 PM ^
No question...I'd put us in the top 5.
Definitely a top 25 team.

domination for all four quarters!! they got coached today! this is how you manage clock and wear teams down!!
September 26th, 2015 at 4:02 PM ^
It was like Harbaugh was in Mendenhall's head today. QB was confused, our secondary dominated their receivers.
Our D-line is comprised of beasts. . .

What can I say. We have the best coach in all of football. HARBAUGH is Football GAWD. DJ Durkin is awesome. Drevno knows what he is doing. I hope we can keep this staff in tact for a few years. They are just too damn good. Go Blue!
September 26th, 2015 at 3:27 PM ^
Anyone else notice BYU's coaches had sponsors on their shirts?
September 26th, 2015 at 3:38 PM ^
September 26th, 2015 at 3:44 PM ^
Ok, that makes more sense. Didn't know that.

So that explains Purdue's interesting neon green color scheme today.
Btw they sure Pur-didn't against BGSU today.
September 26th, 2015 at 3:28 PM ^
...and Michigan looks good. They are ahead of schedule by any reasonable pre-season expectations. Easily a top 20 team.
The road game at Maryland should be a win, but it will be a nice way to get the players to go on the road and play a really solid game, which will help out later in the year at Penn State and at the end of October at Minnesota.

..was how Michigan's d-line was so dominant in the first half. Disruptive. Nothing BYU could do to stop it.
The pass coverage was also really strong.
It has been a while since Michigan put together a 1st half this dominant over real team.
Offense made some real positive strides today. Defense still way ahead though. Rudock held the ball too long on two of the sacks. He missed passes to open receivers on a couple of plays. But overall he was much better.
Still will have to get a lot better to be beat MSU and OSU. But M is playing a lot better than in week 1, and it is realistic for the first time since 2011 to envision the team getting better each week, and entering November as a real top 15 team.
BTW, did anyone catch Speilman saying that based on Michigan's domiant performance he was raising his prediction of total wins for Michigan.... from 8 to.............9! Unreal.

and the Dline smothering. Loved the confusion the defense created for BYU and forced Magnum into problems all game long.

September 26th, 2015 at 3:46 PM ^
There aren't "tought points" when you're already up 31. Going for it in the second half of a game like that just shows future opponents more of the playbook.

I'm thinking back to Hoke's recent comments about how a coach needs 5 - 6 years to get a program to where he wants it to be. Maybe a coach like Hoke needs that long.

This is the first year in the the last four where I've watched all the games from start to finish. I don't have that overwhelming need to leave the room when I know things are about to go really south. Because they're not. I can imagine a few rough plays. But with this team I can't imagine a complete breakdown like we saw with Hoke's teams.
September 26th, 2015 at 3:44 PM ^
since it is very apparent.

Remember when we were hanging on every tweet, every article, every rumor, in the hopes of getting Jim Harbaugh?
This is why.
September 26th, 2015 at 3:43 PM ^
When we get a QB with some mobility, this offense is going to be a nightmere to defend. You can't defend everyone that you need to without leaving hugh running lanes open for the QB.
September 27th, 2015 at 1:03 AM ^
I was watching the game thinking 'what if we had a QB that could sling the ball all over the place'. Rudock isn't bad but I can only fathom the offense when UM has a 1st or 2nd all big ten type QB.
September 26th, 2015 at 3:44 PM ^
Two plays in the 2nd quarter stood out to me:
1. Rudock fakes to be RBs in the backfield then hits Khalid Hill down the seam. BRILLIANT play design. Totally confused BYU.
2. that deep pass to Jake Butt. WR ran guys out of the zone and Butt ran under them and broke wide open.
I'm sure there were many smaller cases of RPS brilliance, but those two were shear genius.
