3rd and 6, another first down against the defense. It’s really just not good defense from. The fundamentals are lacking. Over pursuit. Bad tackling. Losing the edge.
He looks the part. His runs were perfect. Orji could never run because no one ever thought there was a threat of pass. Michigan looked more confident at every level since he entered. If they go out and score on this first drive they may not look back.
The 3rd down defense, particularly 3rd and long, has been the worst I’ve ever seen at Michigan. This team is so poorly coached at every level. Every weakness they had is the same as week 1 and worse because other teams continue to exploit it and no adjustments are made. We can’t throw and can’t defend 3rd and long. It’s getting worse.
Off the top of my head. In no order:
Goff, darnold, love, mayfield, cousins, carr, stafford, purdy, Mayfield, Prescott, hurts, Daniels, Lamar, burrow, stroud, Mahomes, Herbert, Rodgers, Allen, tua. That’s 20 better QBs.
