gehringer_2 Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 almost hard to believe NW was in this game twice in the last 5 yrs. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted November 28, 2022 Author Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) I'm curious to see what M's game plan for this game is. Last year, it felt like Michigan put 'pedal to the metal' against Ohio State for four quarters and pulled out all the stops and tricks to win that game. They kept it on against Iowa, and blew them out of the water. Then by the time they arrived to play Georgia, they were out of gas, out of tricks, and got shown the door very quickly. I wouldn't be shocked to see a return to the game plan of the first 11 games. Playing conservative, relying on the run game, and taking points where they're given. Doing just enough to leave with the win. Keeping what cards are remaining very close to the chest and not tipping anything to TCU, Georgia, or USC. Purdue has struggled to score at times this year. They only put up 3 against Iowa, 20 against Minnesota, and 17 against Northwestern. The latter two their defense kept them in it and they pulled out a win... I think allowing our defense to have first chance to win this game makes a lot of sense. Edited November 28, 2022 by MichiganCardinal Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted December 3, 2022 Author Posted December 3, 2022 I would take Purdue and the points in this one. I don't think it's a repeat of 2021 Iowa. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 With UGA steamrolling LSU now there is nothing good that can come from this game for Michigan in terms of the National picture, sure winning the B1G Championship is great for the kids but if your goal is to win the National Championship nothing we can do can help us tonight. I guess the most important thing is to not suffer any major injuries. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted December 4, 2022 Author Posted December 4, 2022 Yeah, this game is for nothing except the B1G Championship and an undefeated record (small things). If M wins, they're probably the #2 seed. If M loses, they're probably the #2 seed. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Hard to tell but it seems like it's atleast 75% Michigan fans in the crowd despite Purdue being an hour a way from Indy. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Ideal opening series by the defense. Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 He never lost control of the ball........that's a catch. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 If it takes THIS long to view it, then you CAN'T overturn it. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Are you fucking kidding me? Took you 6 minutes to fuck up a call this badly? Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Fine, Blue - score a TD right now. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted December 4, 2022 Author Posted December 4, 2022 That was a stupid review. Didn't they used to put a timer on the NFL reviews? Should be 2:00 from the time they put on a head seat. If no decision when the time expires, the audio cuts out and the call stands. I'll take that though. Quote

If you can't overturn it in 90 seconds then there isn't "clear evidence" that the call was wrong on the field. Made 'em pay anyway. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 TD Michigan! I have to say though on the play before where JJ scrambled and threw it to Bell on the replay it looked like Bell had a foot out of bounds before coming in to catch the ball. I only caught a split second of it though so not sure but if he wasn't it was real close. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Real impressive drive there by Purdue, sure UM helped by blowing a couple tackles but still great answer nonetheless. Quote
Tigerbomb13 Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Some horrific missed tackles there. Quote
lordstanley Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 92 yard drive with Purdue slicing through the defense with ease. Purdue inside Michigan’s 1. Quote
lordstanley Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Is this game going to take 4 hours? Quote
RandyMarsh Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 That's a TD, quite frankly I don't blame the Purdue coach for being frustrated the booth should've caught that without him having to ask for the review. Quote

We've seen teams do this in the first half to Michigan. I'm not too worried. It really doesn't matter, Michigan will be at #2 no matter what, but it sure would be nice to be the lone unbeaten team at the end of the season. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 I think Michigan has the strategy of letting the other team show their cards early and then using it against them later. Quote
