Penn State @ Michigan Noon EST ABC

[TonyTexas 10482]

Was that call because he batted it forward? Punts get batted all the time. 

[ztejas 43266]

Now I'm wondering if PSU might find a way to lose this one. (Or not)

This is truly awful football.

Didn't they have a good QB in 2016? I remember they had a good team that year and damn near (and should have) beat Ohio St.

What year was Denard Robinson?

Michigan can't even get a polite "no thanks" from the QBs Ohio State recruits, that's not it

I’m thinking maybe their system makes otherwise decent QBs look like shit.

Shit, Michigan could take a high school QB from Texas that plays in any level state championship game and do better than this.

I think he was the same time we had Garrett Gilbert, so a decade ago.

I feel the same with our QBs at UT we have had over the last decade.As QB rich as this state had, we sure did have some god awful QBs.

Oh wow. Damn, that's the last decent UM QB I could think of. 

[Vic Mackey 46936]

Lmao. Awesome job Michigan. 2 plays to get 2 yards. Can't. And Harbaugh looks clueless as usual.

Not sure - awhile ago. Are we pretending that he wasn't an overhyped athlete playing QB that never won anything?

[ClubWhatever 12087]

That should have been a neutral zone infraction on PSU on that sneak.

A decade ago. When RichRod was coaching. And he wasn't a good QB.

He was exciting to watch, but you're correct he wasn't actually good. He was just different.

Oh no, he definitely wasn't "good", he was just different to watch. He was definitely overhyped, but he never tied his shoes if I remember correctly?

[ClubWhatever 12087]

Michigan doesn’t do basic things like blocking and tacking well.  They need a complete staff overhaul. 

[WhatTheBuck 28716]

Just now, Bogeywon said:

Yeah, he was a dynamic runner. He wasn't a good passer. He had no business playing QB at Michigan. He was a Big East caliber player better suited to play for RichRod at WVU. That was a big part of RichRod's failing, he didnt recruit Big Ten caliber players.

Am I reading delayed posts from yesterday? Tom and Jim are both terrible frauds 

[PittsburghTiger 6137]

Holy Cow, what a shit show that was.  Terrible football.  Michigan has an awful defensive line.  Just terrible. I need to go wash out my eyes after that.  
 

I agree on that penalty.  Why can’t you knock a ball back in before you go out of bounds? That’s a dumb rule.

For sure. I'm just glad they didn't 😂 Better them than us. But yeah, we're both in a sad state. That's depressing as hell

They should fire Don Brown. And they should find an offensive identity. They brought Gattis in to install a spread offense but we still saw them line up with a fullback and run power football on one of their last TD's so Harbaugh obviously still has his hands in the offense. 

[heso 2748]

That’s Franklin’s first win in Ann Arbor and PSU’s first win there since 2009. And they did it with an 0-5 team.

[taybo20 2815]

Don brown has been garbage for years. 

[4th&Five 41461]

I watch Texas and get pissed at the talent we waste. I watch Michigan and don’t even see talent this year.

Correct. Which, looking back and thinking about it, I'm not sure how the NCAA ever allowed that.

Did you hear Urban's comments during Big Noon Kickoff? (If you're not watching that, you should be.) He said they needed to "blow the whole thing up." He didn't say he was calling for Harbaugh's firing (why would he?). He said Harbaugh's a good coach but there's something wrong and they need to examine everything. It starts with recruiting and development.

I didn't, unfortunately. He's not wrong, tho. Start from scratch, find what the hell the problem is. I agree they also need to can Don Brown.

Michigan's gonna get the Covid right before they play us. Avoid another L, and keep us out of the playoffs.

See this post. There’s a illusion that michigan can recruit. They can’t they are awful at evaluating talent. And they miss on every 5*
derek green 5* rb BUST

jabril peppers 5* db/safety overrated 

Rashan Gary 5* DL #1 player in the country no development could shake a double team

i could go on and on. We don’t recruit at an elite level at all (see Ohio State, Bama, Georgia, Clemson ect).

Playoffs are subjective by the committee. There is absolutely nothing objective about it. Now the Big 10 conference championship have objective requirements. Ohio St should get in on brand alone.

Denard enrolled at Michigan before Kelly was hired by ND.

Only thing he did was ROAST ND pretty much every year for 400 plus yard of total offense. Not trying to be a Dick but they are the only team he could beat. Other then the worst osu team in the last 20 years with a interim coach (fickell) who had zero head coaching experience coming off tattoo gate. Also if anyone watched that game Braxton Miller (true freshman) missed at least 2 wide open deep balls that should have put the game away. He couldn’t beat state (well he did once and didn’t have a single passing touchdown) or anyone with a pulse. 

[Brothahorn 10085]

Maybe if Jimmy had been able to take the team trip to Romania, this year they would only lost 2 games so far. Can't underestimate that summer bonding.

It's tough to hire a coach who refuses to say the name of your school.

They would have several million ways to make it happen.

Wasn't that mostly the defense though?  I seem to recall the Hokerines got killed by the traditional conf I formation a lot. 

[phdhorn 6224]

I thought we were the worst P5 school at either getting QB's who don't pan out, or coaching them down to virtual ineffectiveness (including our current QB on this one), but man, Michigan makes us look like QBU.  Why that school hasn't been able to find a decent QB in almost 10 years is an enigma, esp. because Harbaugh is (or was, at least) a QB specialist.

2010- 244 yards passing 255 rushing

2011- 338 passing 108 rushing 

2012- 138 passing 90 rushing (not good)

anyway 2010 and 2011 he touched them. They were honestly the only team with a pulse that he could put those type of numbers on. Those are video game numbers for a guy with no arm.
