Wisconsin Post Game: Paging Jason Avant

Finn Gomez, Detroit Free Press

Michigan passed for 270 yards and ran for 175 yards against the #1 rush defense in college football.  The Wolverines won the game in the 2nd half by a comfortable score of 24-10.   What's the problem?  The drops are the problem.  Drops happen to everyone, even our former star TE Colston Loveland had some drops, but this continues to be an issue for the young Wolverine offense. 

Michigan has a clear #1 in Donaven McCulley who is the transfer from IU.  He is a walking mismatch has great hands and was the best WR on the field for either team. He finished with 112 yards receiving.  Andrew Marsh also had a solid game.  The true freshman caught 4 balls for 80 yards.  

With all that good news, Michigan probably dropped 4 passes that were very catchable.  Semaj dropped one, Ronnie's brother had a drop (it was a high throw), and full back Bredeson had a bad drop.   I know Bryce throws fast balls but the WR's have to CATCH THE BALL!

Cheers

  • Why isn't Justice Hayes on any Heisman lists? Another 100 yard game! 
  • Bryce with 270 yards in the air! 
  • McCulley with his best game as a Wolverine
  • Marsh had his best game! 
  • Defense gave up 175 yards in the air and only 75 on the ground 
  • Jimmy Rolder led the team with 7 tackles 
  • Derrick Moore had the only sack 
  • Zeke Berry had some nice pass break ups 
  • Rod Moore had a pick and is just a smart football player 
  • Hudson had a 57 yard punt 
Jeers
  • 2 fumbles that weren't lost 
  • Z missed a chip shot 
  • Andrew Sprague was getting beat often 
  • Only 1 sack 
  • The Tight Ends need more targets
  • That first drive by Wisconsin was ugly and fooled Wink 
  • The previously mentioned drops 
  • The new injury report had a new designation named, out for the year, Michigan has 6 players on it.
Wisconsin is clearly a better team after the bye week. They are getting back to playing physical Wisconsin Football.  Still they are lacking in that area, they don't have a good run game and even though he played well they are down to their 3rd string QB.  They are still in for a long year with a very difficult schedule and will have to rebuild next season. 

Michigan will now have to focus on another west coast trip to USC.  We all saw what happened to James Franklin and Penn State, as the UCLA win was the biggest upset in Big Ten play ever.  I wonder how long Penn State is going to allow James Franklin (a great recruiter who can't coach) to continue to stifle their program.

Firstly, I am no expert footballer ...... never played and watch very few games. but why use your starter on last meaningless drive? Yes, you're trying to develop him as much as possible, but should Moore consider his second starter development more pertinent? Go Penn State perves!!

No playing Davis (or any other QB) hopefully doesn't bite the team in the butt. It's a weird mystery, and weirder that no one seems to be asking Moore.

James Franklin won't last the season if he loses another game. But zero chance he survives after this season.

As for Wisc game - young team played like a young team. They need to battle through mistakes and still win. So that's good. But, they won't finish out if they keep dropping the damn ball.

OL is meh. Sprague is a construction barrel and imho, the OL holds back the play calling. Another site does a who do we want to see more of and less of. Less of....Andrew Sprague if there's anyone that is better, More Rod Moore Jr. Sprague was horrid, he whiffed on too many blocks. Moore showed a high football IQ.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Sherrone Moore is not qualified to be a Power 4 head coach, especially at Michigan. He's a former OL coach and his OL is average at best. Can he coach an OL? Maybe, but I don't think he can evaluate talent on a OL. Harbaugh was not afraid to hit the portal for OL help. what did Moore do? Cal Poly and Ferris State? give me a break

I hope PSU signs Franklin to a lifetime contract. He's a boob

Who was out for the year?

Underwood needs all the reps he can get to learn to be a QB. You have no viable back up. After Bryce, the rest of the QB room is ass.

Underwood needs to stop throwing fastball to guys who are only 5 yard from him!!

Blue for life
