It was nice that they were able to pull out a win here, which is certainly an improvement, but they had enough chances to make it easy on themselves and they didn't, which is sort of the definition of a not quite really good team. And their inability to connect on the long ball when it's open is really a killer. That said, 3 losses would still be a big set forward compared to where they have been.

That's Harbaugh's MO. shot 20 minutes ago, Mr.TaterSalad said: Way to go Jim Harbaugh and Michigan!!! That was a big win and they hung tough the whole game. Great effort by us tonight and it feels good to hang tough from start to finish. I thought this game was going to get away from them when Nebraska got two back-to-back scores but Michigan answered back offensively and shut them down after that. chaser. lol. its good to see you actually haply for once. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was one of Harbaugh's biggest wins. When his team had their backs up against the wall they showed toughness and responded right back all game long tonight. This was a well coached, well played game outside of a few errant throws that missed their mark by McNamara. Other than that, I was really satisfied with the performance and the result. Great job Harbaugh and Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went back and looked at the DVR there is no question. They even had the side line shot straight at the ball down the LOS and you could see the Neb player move past the plane of the ball before the center picked it up.

romad1 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I wonder if all the hints about Ted Lasso and Jim Harbaugh might be indicative that Harbaugh was dealing with mental health issues for some period. He appears to have his mojo back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Predicting the Rankings (I don't think that Penn State should drop at all, they went into a very tough place to play and it took losing their starting QB to shift the game to Iowa). 1.

Motor City Sonics Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 It cut me off, as I was saying... Predicting the Rankings (I don't think that Penn State should drop at all, they went into a very tough place to play and it took losing their starting QB to shift the game to Iowa). It would not shock me to see Michigan State jump over Michigan this week. 1. Georgia +1 2. Iowa +1 3. Alabama -2 4. Cincinnati +1 5. Penn State -1 6. Oklahoma - 7. Ohio State - 8. Oregon - 9. Michigan - 10. Michigan State +1 11. Oklahoma State +1 12. Kentucky +4 13. Coastal Carolina +2 14. Ole Miss +3 15. Notre Dame -1 16. BYU -6 17. Wake Forest +2 18. Florida +2 19. Arizona State +3 20. Arkansas -7 21 Texas A&M NR 22. NC State +1 23. SMU +a 24. Auburn -6 25. San Diego State +1 OUT - Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 remaining schedule: northwestern: win at sparty: toss up indiana: win at penn state: likely loss at maryland: likely win ohio state: loss the one game i cant see them winning is - of course - ohio state. a loss to maryland or michigan state would surprise me a bit, but not stun me. both on the road. a penn state win would surprise me, but its not impossible with doofus running penn state. if i were a betting man, i'd say the most likely outcome is still 9-3 and playing florida again in some bowl game.

Motor City Sonics Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 I think State will beat Michigan on Oct. 30th. The game just means more to them and they just have that emotional advantage. Plus they will be at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still feed off that vibe that Dantonio started of them being disrespected compared to Michigan and it has given them an edge over the years. Not every year, but more often than not. It just means more to them and I still don't think Michigan truly respects them as a rival. Look at last year's game. Michigan was a heavy favorite and they were sleepwalking into that game and Mel Tucker showed up in Ann Arbor and his team punched the Wolverines right in the mouth and Michigan had no response to it.

romad1 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Its going to be an interesting game and I don't think I'll be able to watch it live because it might kill me. I'm emotionally invested for sure. State having a good offense is scary. We've overcome a couple of tough roadies. Nebraska had their backs up against the wall. We took over Jump Around in Wisconsin. What that means for State? It means we are better on the road than we've been. That's all. Godspeed Jim Harbaugh and coaches to get us a game plan for this year.
