Semaj Morgan is taking money from bookies or there is no better explanation for his game. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

You can launch Sherrone out of a cannon now for all I care. What a disaster of a game. 

[GalagaGuy]

Rather be lucky than good I guess.  

[Sports_Freak]

5 turnovers. A victory...OK. But it feels like a loss. 

[romad1]

Well, all right.  Now beat OSU.  

[Tigerbomb13]

Hard to feel good about that win.

A team that wasn't prepared, played very sloppy and was totally undisciplined. Ohio is licking their chops. 😏😏

Why did Moore go for It on 4th and 1 from like the 25 with 3 minutes left down by 1 against a team with an awful offense?

That I can get. Vrada has been shaky. But why snap from the gun and then toss the handoff?
 

Why did Moore call a TO with 55 seconds to go in FG position? Completely needless.  If they didn’t get that additional 1st down, NW would have gotten the ball back with 40 seconds to go for no reason. No one that hapless should be coach of a college football team.

That was a big error.  The first down run bailed him out.

At some point the players need to make plays.  The huge number of freshman and walk-ons in key roles are showing their age and talent level.  Semaj Morgan should be blasted into the sun.

Theyre one of the youngest teams in college football and they play like it.

this is a rebuilding year.  get rid of wink, build on that very young oline and next year get a top receiver.  you have the #1 rb recruit to go with the #1 qb recruit to go with an improving, young oline.  the offense should be fine long term.

the defense?  lets see.  they had an incredible run of coaching up talent under harbaugh.  a collection of 3 and 4 stars who played their way into being nfl draft picks.  now that he's gone, we'll see if that continues.

but you have to get rid of wink, the dude is just not a college dc.  go get your retirement package being a consultant for one of your nfl buddies.  

we'll see about sherrone.  harbaugh wasnt the master of late game time management either.

No way Michigan makes the playoffs this year. They seem to be getting worse as the season has progressed.

michigan is not going to the playoffs this year.

and they shouldn't.    this was always a rebuilding year -  one of the youngest, if not THE youngest team with a true Freshman QB.   For Moore - it's all about next year.    He'd better make the playoffs next year. 

 

Up the road.  MSU has quit - and I don't care if they thought the clock had expired on that last TD, but they just have no intensity and they're gonna get their QB killed.  It's 6:29 right now...........24 hours from now Jonathan Smith will not be the Head Coach at Michigan State. 

 

And the Big Ten sucks this year.   OSU, Indiana and Oregon are the only good teams and have any of them played anyone really good yet?    Indiana's win at Oregon was very impressive, but I don't think any of these teams would be Texas A&M or Alabama.       For Michigan State to be winless in THIS Big Ten is truly awful.

Being a young team now just means you're paying to develop guys who will play for other teams in a year or two.

[buddha]

how bad was bryce underwood?  he's just not seeing the field.  there are guys wide open and he's throwing into coverage.  he's missing guys deep.  he's got a gun for an arm but it doesnt matter if you dont see the field.  and he's not getting a ton of pressure either.  he's messing up the run reads too.  and it was his terrible hand off attempt to kuzdal that caused that fumble late.  he just killed them in the second half.

 give andrew marsh the #1 jersey now.

hopefully marshall isnt hurt long term.

the oline has been really strong.  good news for michigan and moore considering that's his position.

You beat me to that.  I think Semaj is going to look good in an MSU jersey or in jail once they figure out he's shaving points.

do you think they are going to be able to rebuild into a top 10 team again? To me it seems all those intangible recruiting advantages M use to have could disappear  in a strict pay for play system. And now you have schools willing to deficit spend to keep buying players - where does it end? How does a responsible board of regents justify $20-$30M subsidies as far as the eye can see to run a football program that is supposed to supply support to other programs instead of sucking them dry?

I'm just finding it too ironic that the schools are only people getting the short end of the stick when they are ones supplying all the value. Take all the athletes playing NCAA football and put them in a new fall league sub NFL football league and they'd be worth approximately ..... nothing - as has already be proven on multiple occasions. People only watch because of the imprimatur those players get by wearing those uniforms, yet it's the schools that now bleeding money. Go figure.

i think michigan will be a top 10 team as early as next season.

you always assume the worst for michigan.  they have more resources than most places and have now opened up their wallets while still (roughly) balancing a budget.  unlike their peers.

i also think they will eventually cave on their sudden principled stance against private equity.  michigan is not leaving the big ten, they will eventually go along with everyone else.  which will mean more money in the immediacy.

As a program, Michigan can be top 10.  Not sure Moore is the guy to do that, though.

If he's James Franklin ceiling...he's already surpassed that by beating his main rival multiple times.
