Michigan Football 2024 aka The Year Michigan has to Defend a Natty

[buddha]

michigan is the new iowa.

[Hongbit]

Can not unsee.

[buddha]

that was a very uninspiring offensive first quarter.  

lets pick it up, boys.

[buddha]

that's the guy you picked to be your starting center?  the one who just got pushed by 5 yards by...checks notes....fresno state?

oh boy this does not look good.

I’m not sure there’s another D1 program that would hire Kirk Campbell to call plays.

i'm more worried about sherrone moore.  youre replacing one of the best coaches in football with a guy who has been an assistsnt for a couple years and no head coaching experience to speak of (yeah yeah, four games last year with a stacked team and harbaugh doing the coaching all week).

not exactly the resume i want for a guy to lead a top 10 program.  they didnt have much choice, but i think it might be the beginning of a downturn fpr michigan.

but the playcalling has been atrocious.

in fairness, they dont have a qb.  kind of hard to fun an offense without a qb and an offensive line.

My god this offensive line looks bad

We are definitely losing tonight.  Fresno State having to travel to Ann Arbor to play a bunch of nobodies who aren't even rated recruits, they are going to be mad.  Poor Michigan. 

are you mocking me?  lol.

They need to figure stuff out.  This isn't a championship OL at this point.

[Hongbit]

Fresno isn’t scoring more than 14 points on this defense.  Score once more and don’t commit stupid turnovers and game is over.

I wish Michigan would start the season off with a more competitive opponent each year. Seeing these cupcake games has gotten old. I'd love to see a real opponent to start the season. 

be careful what you wish for. This one seems competitive enough so far!

romad, they dont have a qb.  theyre not winning many games if they can dominate up front.

and theyre being dominated by fresno state.

will johnson hurt already.

IDK how great a coach Harbaugh is, his main talent at the college level was bringing in an NFL bound QB to lead his team. And that's not to knock him, it's the most important thing a college football coach can do. Unfortunately he didn't leave another one waiting in the wings for Moore, and if you want to knock Moore for not coming up with one, or Manuel for not coming up with the cash to get one, fair enough I suppose.

Their offense looks dog poop so far. Not to be TP, but they keep running Edwards up the middle and not running any outside plays or sweeps. They need to mix it up with him and not try to make him Blake Corum 2.0.

[TP_Fan]

Playing Warren over Orji is Iike the galaxy brain idea of sudfield over hooker. Warren has no ceiling. Isn’t dynamic.  Can’t run.  Get Orji on the field.

Johnson wasn’t hurt.  They just left him on the bench.  The coaching is questionable out here.  

[romad1]

I think the Orji Warren thing is Cade vs JJ.  The locker room might be mad it isn't Orji.

[TP_Fan]

Back to Warren.  And a run up the middle for no yards lol.  

[Tigerbomb13]

Holy **** a first down

Yeah  - Donovan is not Corum. If you try to use him like Corum, you probably won't get far.

Seems like Michigan doesn't want to show much of their playbook tonight.

Keep in mind, this is THIS O-Line's first game together,  might take a minute to gel.
