I think what we’ve learned about Knowles is his scheme doesn’t fit against a team like Michigan. You need 3 LBs against that style of play and the ability to get pressure with your line.

He did that.

This defense gave up 337 yards guys. They were put in a trash spot over and over by the offense and special teams.

Knowles learned from last year and he will from this game too. I think he’ll realize he needs to find a better medium for aggression and blitzing.

Knowles can do it all and that’s what we need. Anyone wanting him gone seriously has no clue about football.

When will he figure it out is the question. They let them score every possession of the 2nd half and go on a 7+ minute drive, that wasn’t on the offense. Not buying what you’re selling.

Got to do it in the big games not just against the pack.

Defense gave up 23 points on the road to the #2 team in the country.

They weren’t the problem. McCord and Special Teams were, plus Day coaching like a chickenshit again.

Yeah let’s run down a 1st year college QB playing in his first Game at the Pig House in front of ~108000 fans, while giving a guy who makes over 2 million dollars a year a pass for not doing anything to stop Michigan the whole second half.

Whatever

*shrug* I would take 23 points and 300 yards from the defense in a Top 5 matchup every single time.

Yeah top 3 defense is just awful. Fire Knowles… what a freaking joke.

Want to point fingers? Point it at the offense who finished in the 30s.

The defense bailed our mid offense out vs teams like ND/Penn State/ Wisconsin/TCUN.

Everytime we face a high power offense we struggle on D when it matters most. I agree with your point about the offense though, that side of the ball also needs improvements.
