What do you mean by “gets this University?”
This gets thrown out a lot by others as well but I am not sure how one quantifies that?

No. Meyer would have taken the ball completely out of the RBs hands who had single handedly brought the team back from a big deficit in favor of option pitches to the short side or QB keepers. see: Carlos Hyde. Only 3 touches after halftime in the 2013 B1G Championship Game after Sparty couldn't stop him in the 1st half. and Zeke in the 2015 Sparty game. Only two carries in the 2nd half. Talk about a way to piss a game away.

They kept trying to run up the middle against elite DTs with a patch work OL. You’re gonna have a hard time getting anyone to place Blame on the RBs for the result. That’s all bad gameplaning by the coach.

Precisely, so why did you bring that approach to this conversation?
Why in the world would mistakes as a kick returner affect their snaps at their actual positions? You could have brought Egbuka in to field punts or kickoffs for the rest of the game. That would be understandable. It would be remarkably foolish to take safety snaps away from Caleb for that mistake, or not use Henderson's feet and creativity in the passing game because he can't return kicks.
Do tell, why can't I have these things both ways?
- Good idea: Using Treveyon as a receiver for a defense daring you to complete 4-9 yd passes to sustain drives and a QB feeling pressure and pressing a bit
- Bad idea: repeatedly running into the teeth of 2 elite DTs with backup IOL and a RB who is a gamebreaker in space but is not as steady in a phone booth
Meanwhile you're over here waxing poetic about 3.8 ypc for some reason. Quinshod is better at grinding out yardage. Neither of them were particularly efficient yesterday, because they tried to slam their talented 2 RBs into an elite wall and never adjusted.
The only quality run from either of them came when Chip remembered he could outflank the defense, and he ran a speed option to Quinshod for the easiest 15 yards of the day. They never tried anything like that again. The other 11 rushes into the phone booth went for 3.1 ypc with Q.
Kind of like the easy screen to Treveyon. That never returned.
Oh look, another random thing that has nothing to do with the conversation.
But let's accept your outlandish claim about TH vs Q for a moment. Do I think Meyer can underutilize a RB in a critical ball game? Is that a serious question?

Wrong glass, Sir.
This. Plus, halfway through the 1st quarter, tcun knew it was coming. I guess I get the philosophy: take our biggest weakness and shove it up the ass of your biggest strength. Had it worked in the 1st, it would have broken them and then the floodgates would have opened. It, however, didn't work and should have been abandoned after the 1st quarter.

Running up the gut was only gonna work later as the game went in if they got their DL running all over the place early and gassed it out. But they played right into their hands running right into those DTs for constant 3 and outs. Urbans run JT into the ground games were genius compared to this game plan

It was like they watched BIG Noon and took all of the things UM needed to do to win and played right into it. It was the ultimate my dick is bigger game plan by Day
Yep and that’s exactly why he needs to go, a coach who is more worried about proving some stupid point that doesn’t even matter than doing what’s actually going to win isn’t getting you very far.

BIG has laid down a $100k fine for both schools and no suspensions.
So basically a unsportsmanlike on both teams

Quinshod had
1 rush from OSU goalline for 0 yds
(3 and out punt)
...
1 option pitch for 15 yds
1 outside run for 2 yds (Trey would have a shot to score in this playcall)
1 outside sweep for 10 yds
1 rush for -1 yds
1 rush for -1 yds
(ended FG miss)
...
1 rush for 1 yd
(ended up with conservative punt at UM's 37)
...
1 rush up middle for 17 yds
1 rush for 3 yds
1 rush for 2 yds
1 rush for -2 yds
(int on 3rd down)
...
(caleb should save the game with a INT to take ball right back)
1 rush for 0 yds
(followed by gee scott 0 yd rec and cowardly draw call to Henderson)
(to miss a FG)
He had 3 good runs. 2 were outside rushes with some creativity. 1 was a run up the middle untouched for 14+ yds. He's great at creating extra yardage. He was not great at it yesterday, because they challenged the wall to a head butting match.
