2023 B1G Championship: #2 Michigan Wolverines (12-0) vs. #16 Iowa Hawkeyes (10-2)

[Mr.TaterSalad]

We better come out with some serious adjustments along the offensive front because we are getting bullied and pushed around. I don't know if it means more screen plays, RPOs, plays with quick releases, or whatever. But it's clear we can't go downfield because Iowa is keeping containment and playing tight coverage. Plus, this offensive line can't hold for more than a couple of seconds without sending McCarthy scrambling backwards or out of the pocket.

Alabama or Texas would be up 35-0 right now if they were playing us with how sorry this offense has looked.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Washington should be the #1 seed if we don't figure it out in the second half and look better.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Sad to see a 12-0 team turn into TCBlue. If this is the offense that shows up against anyone other than Florida State we'll be TCU from last year.

I’m most worried about a strip sack, pick-6 or blocked punt. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

LOL 16 yards rushing by Michigan. That's incredibly sad. 

[lordstanley]

 I think Michigan will need to rely on the run.

Oh, no doubt. We might as well have Iowa’s offense right now. If they get a defensive score we're in trouble. They better make adjustments up front to get this offense turned around.

We're getting bullied around up front.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

And a holding call. What a disaster!

[Mr.TaterSalad]

No separation whatsoever.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

A reverse call and they can't even get back to the line of scrimmage. Iowa read that all day. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

That was a dropped pick 6. This is pathetic. Terrible throw by McCarthy. 

[MIguy]

Can we suspend Harbaugh again?  

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Great to see we made no adjustments coming out of the half. We did one reverse that got blown up and our offensive line has struggled just as much to run block as it did in the first half. We're in real trouble if Iowa manages to score.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Thank God our defense looks solid tonight. 

[lordstanley]

I think that will be called an incomplete pass, but closer than I thought. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

That's real close but could be considered a fumble.

[RandyMarsh]

Did Michigan even recover the ball before the officials blew it dead? If not I don't see what the point is, even if they call it a fumble if we don't recover it they can't give us the ball right?

[MichiganCardinal]

3-3 in wherever the ACC Championship is played

TD MICHIGAN

TD FLORIDA STATE

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What a gift for Michigan and this offense.

I don't understand how we ended up with that ball, but what a gift.

Our offense still looks suspect and makes me concerned for who we play next. Even if we win tonight, Washington deserves to jump us based on how they played yesterday.
