Michigan football players seek to avoid 'spiral' after two-score loss at Washington

The Wolverines got honest about the current state of the team after falling to 4-2.​

"This game doesn't define us," Graham told reporters after the game. "We control our own destiny. If we just win the rest of the games on our schedule, we're going to be in a good place. It's just about staying together. We can't let this break our team apart and spiral into something this team shouldn't be. I'm just looking forward to the next opportunity, taking this bye week and then getting back to business."

Tight end Colston Loveland shared a similar sentiment: "We need to stay together, stay in the building and put in more hours. We need to watch more films, go harder in practice and just do better in every aspect of our life when it comes to football."

Loveland refused to blame the quarterback play or the defense for the loss. The veteran pass-catcher said both sides of the ball have "a lot" to clean up during the team's bye this week.

"Obviously, we have a lot of s*** to clean up on both sides of the ball," Loveland said. "It looked like they wanted it more. They made more plays when their name was called. We just have to make plays and keep the stick moving. We need to work on details and execution."

"The first three drives, that's really who we are," Tuttle said. "The back half, we just missed some opportunities. Personally, I just got to be better at protecting the ball. I can't fumble. I can't do that. That's completely on me. I can't put the team and the defense in that situation. On the last drive, I can't put the ball in danger. That's it. We are a really freaking good team. I don't think this should have happened at all. It is frustrating, and I'll do everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen again."

This post is a week old: This did not age well, but I don’t want to call anyone out so I omitted the identity of the OP. This isn’t personal; just making a point about the board in general

They aren’t rolling into Columbus with 10 wins. That ship has sailed.

The only way they roll into the ‘Shoe with 9 wins is if they go undefeated from here, which includes beating Oregon

The point here is that, if you find yourself at odds with most of the board, maybe it’s not because the rest of us are overly optimistic.
Apologies. Got a bit carried away there.

As for Michigan, I really thought they had the answer with just saying "we're going single wing, leather helmet football." Washington loosing to Wazoo and Rutgers added to my confidence. They rose up from the dead for this game. Cryin' Sharon must have lost his confidence in the run game at that point. He panicked at down 14 points and benched Orji for a 7th year senior (!!!!). For a while, I thought he'd found the answer but then Tuttle began to play like a seven-year back up.

Maybe Illinois will exceed my expectations, but I still think Michigan can beat them. We also don't know that much about Oregon. Beating Idaho, Boise State, UCLA, and Michigan State doesn't tell us much about them.

"If" - And should "if's and buts" be candies and nuts everyday would be Christmas.

Players sitting out and transferring any moment now.

Wonder if Will Johnson and Loveland stick it out if there is another loss. Both are banged up and they are projected top 20 picks?
Johnson is definitely a top 10 pick, he's gone.

Loveland appears to be no better than a late 1st round pick. The 2025 scUM team is going to be even more shitty than the current scUM team and likely to be banned from postseason play too (if that even matters as they may not even have a winning record). The only way he might consider staying is if they give him a monster NIL contract and even scUM is not stupid enough to throw that much money on the Titanic right before it sinks. He's gone too.

It seems they win games they shouldn't.
at Illinois - should lose but they'll win
Michigan State - probably 50/50 so they'll win
Oregon - not much is saving them. Loss.
at Indiana - they should lose. I'll say that even *ichigan can't win this one. Loss.
Northwestern - win
at Ohio State - loss. duh.

I can see them still winning 3-4 more games, but they really should lose 4-5 of them.

"The first three stoplights I obeyed, that's really who we are," Tuttle said. "The back half of the chase, we just missed some exits. Personally, I just got to be better at looking through the windshield when I’m driving 148 mph. I can't hit Jeeps. I can't do that. That's completely on me. I can't put a bus full of band kids over the wall. In that last parking lot, I can't put those mennonites in that situation. That's it. We are really freaking good street racers. I don't think this should have happened at all. It is frustrating, and I'll do everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen again."

It seems to me that both statements equally reflect the speaker’s awareness of self, their current situation and the pending consequences due to their actions. No?

Moore has stripped the joy out of college football for me

Find me two more wins on the schedule. Go ahead

First fire Warde. Then fire Moore, Campbell, Wink...

Feels very Hoke-like.

Michigan this year reminds me of the Rich Rod teams.

Fire this whole fucking staff of incompetent cunts.

I'd rather be trapped in an elevator full of strangers with gaseous irritable bowel syndrome farts than watch much more of this Moore led Mich team

Our top 3 QB’s wouldn’t start at a lot of high schools

Moore was never the right guy. Anyone with a brain knew it. Soon the NCAA will kill us and we'll be back in the dark ages.

And so on…………
