I was playing it pretty cool until scUM fans on the socials started going after me for simply having a block 'O' as my profile pic. I dont trash talk on socials, it gets you nowhere.
anyhooters,
this one stung pretty hard obviously but what absolutely bothered me, as I said a few times in the thread, Why the hell werent the LBs and secondary even attempting to AVOID the blockers? who at half time, when its time to save your season, didnt come out and instruct their players to fly to the gap or ball carrier? the OC's at Michigan had it EASY today. LBs 8 yards off of the ball and letting fat ass offensive tackles push them into the secondary? EASY 7 yards. Send one guard or TE outside to absolutely naturalize the CB? EASY first down. Its saying something when the safety has to make every play on the outside.
the other big thing. I know that the O Line had a hell of a day, but c'mon the play calling on the offensive side was questioned 5 or 6 times a drive at least. I know these OC's like to be cheeky and have the next play already lined up before the current play is even called in, but holy crap. when 97 in blue lined up somewhere, or wasnt in the game, it needed to be taken advantage of. there were times where he wasnt even in the game, and a HB dive was called.. wtf no! let Stroud get a breather in the pocket and do what we do best and air it out.
end of the day this is all hindsight and im not a coach at one of the best football schools in the country. but man a lot of stuff to unpack and fix.
basically the defense isnt coached worth a damn
and Ryan Day has a Ferrari and chose to drive it in a school zone all day.
please ignore this, its just a rant and Im just a dumb boy
