The best blend of success I saw would be two tight end heavy sets with lots of RPOs and Tight End leakout passes. Would be hell for linebackers.
The defense showed that if it you leave the best players on the sideline, the offense gets a chance to look competent and work out some kinks. Glad to see Crippen and Persi. Both O-lines were creating holes, but saw lots of names I didn't know along both lines.
ETA Denegal showed me a glimpse of a set of wheels, but otherwise nowhere close to playable.
Given the division between Maize and Blue squads, our shallow depth should create talent mismatches all over the field. Hopefully this will allow the offense to show something, without a steady diet of defenders in the offensive backfield.
I can't ever not hear this, and wish it were more like this (starting at 3:01.) I look forward to his future interviews demonstrating his excellent UM education.
Probably. If Tuttle can get healthy, he seems able to step up to the "serviceable B1G starter" level. Better to have the injuries now than Labor Day, so hopefully everybody's healthy and fall camp gives us everyone's best look. Shame about Davis Warren. He would have been a great Cinderella story.
Americans long for a closed society in which everything can be bought, where laborers are either hidden away or dressed up as non-humans, so as not to be disconcerting. This place is called Disneyworld. The French dream of a place where everyone can practice his metier in self-enclosed perfection, with the people to be served only on sufferance, as extras, to be knocked down the minute they act up. This place, come to think of it, is called Paris in July.
Caught a few minutes of GS/LA Monday night flipping around the channels when I saw the Kia ad come on and I thought "Somebody's paying that bell-end to advertise their product?" He signed the contract last October, before his latest Ron Artest impersonation, and I guess they went with the sunk cost fallacy.
I wasn't talking about skills, but hype. He hasn't shown anything as a passing quarterback at all. Why folks think he's going to leapfrog up the depth chart is a mystery.
If you want Milroe, we have Orji. Just got to polish him up.
Yeah, just a little more touch on the deep ball, and he's a clone.
Wait, what deep ball? What pass at all? The coaches called one pass pay for the dude all year, and no one was open, so he never threw it. He was fourth string last year for a reason. I do not understand the Orji love. He's Joe Milton but no arm.
I've watched this play a million times and showed it to folks while crowing about our S+C program.
At the catch, Grant executes a "perfect" hip-drop tackle, the same play which ended Jordan Travis NCAA career, and which Jimmy Rolder used to bring down Cade Stover during his one meaningful snap in The Game.
I've heard about it potentially being banned (NCAA or NFL?) as too likely to result in catastrophic injury to the ballcarrier. So, how do you bring a man down from behind once you've caught him? Keep running until you're along side and pancake him? What is the preferred technique?
All this complex pre-snap motion misdirection that Tony Romo can't shut up about looks exactly like what I've seen Jim Harbaugh and Sherrone Moore's offense do for Michigan all year.

That's "Iggles."

Don't ever let them go... downtown! (Detroit?)
That was Denver's mayor Mike Johnson in the Rod Smith jersey behind the big hat guys. I hope my tax dollars didn't pay for his trip to Detroit.
Any doubt Minny just moved on JJ?
He wanted to please the morons who say "Go Big Blue!" for Michigan.
I really hope coach Harbaugh writes a book 20 years from now to spill the tea on all the BS of the last four years.

That was fun. I'm rolling with Orgi. Hope Tuttle is healthy to make it close.
For Seth and the other MOTs, did you get your name in the book?

Taylor Decker, in his pregame intro, just says "THE!"

His cadence was responsible for bad snaps, but otherwise....
I've loved Gopnik's writing since forever. I had this piece on my fridge almost 30 years ago:
TROUBLE AT THE TOWER
Logged in to upvote. Orji probably CAN throw the ball, we just haven't seen it.
I came here just to see/say that.
I want to see him showing off that 15-0 tat with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
FWIW the Will Johnson INT was targeting him, and getting muscled off the ball should count against him.
Rod Moore's pick was aimed at him too, but that was more a bad throw.
MGoCensor favors palimpsest.
Defensive assist rate is a key metric!
Ryan Day is the Remco Evenepoel of John Coopers

Meanwhile I'm rocking the block M and clowns ask if I went to Michigan State.

It's a shame. I wish him the best. I hope he gets a chance to critically examine his experience and actions here before seeking coaching work again.
It felt like McLaughlin had 21 botched snaps in the Rose Bowl. I guess they only count the ball touching the ground.

So you're saying I'm right? Low pick/UDFA with the tools for a journeyman's career.
If drafted, Karsen Barnhart will go low, and could be another Michael Schofield. Who'd have guessed he'd stick around the league for 10 years?

Given the lack of D-line depth, lack of time for substitution plays right in to our hands...
Usher on roller skates for the win!

Also, that double pass looks familiar.
Throw his guys…
What more?
Throw his guys under the bus.
Never mind, it wasn't you. I didn't realize that was a thing here.
