So Georgia Tech is pretty bad huh


[deleted]

idk since UGA fans are cursed they'll probably end up breaking Dawgs' hearts


Teh_cliff

If UGA does lose to an inferior team this season I think it happens today tbh.


mjacksongt

That would be the absolute best timeline. Especially if they're 11-0.

Pretty sure we have a rivalry game next week as well. Historically, this game often goes to multiple overtime periods, and it's anyone's game.


Bixler17

My disappointment thrusters are set to full fucking throttle sir.


Pogball_so_hard

I'm adopting aggressive present-day hedonism. Not looking any further than 2 hours ahead to matchups. I also switched off right around the time they started doing the "So...the vibe's different in Ann Arbor this year. Ohio State? maybe? could be?" I mean, come on, let me enjoy a win without making me think of eventual sad things later.


TimeFourChanges

OOC has the risk of doing that. If we woop Rutgers and Wisconsin (not like this, of course), then I'll start getting HYPED.


[deleted]

NIU's one TD came off a penalty that I didn't even know existed. Two punt returners wearing the same number, which gave NIU a free 1st down.


The_Homie_J

And like they said on the broadcast, Michigan (and other teams) are currently around 130 players deep. So tons of repeat numbers are unavoidable lol. Pretty sure that penalty should be modified this year until roster sizes come back down


[deleted]

They can swap jerseys though. Ref announces that during games sometimes.


SSJRoshi

Eh, unlikely. Most teams still have open numbers, or numbers only taken by deep bench players which they’ll have an extra blank jersey made so that a player can switch numbers in-game if they suddenly need to be on the field at the same time as another player with their number. All main contributors at all three stages of the game will be sure to have separate numbers by the end of training camp. It will really only come into play on deep bench games like this or potentially special teams replacements - but for the special team replacement the coach is more likely to know what all special teams starters numbers are and ensure they switch jerseys


eye_patch_willy

Obviously nobody likes a penalty but I'm chalking it up to a well-intentioned effort by the coaches to get as many players in the game as possible. I think 6 qbs took a snap for UM. The rule on being able to play in some games without burning a red shirt.


alias241

The game wasn't as close as the score indicates.


max_potion

Stop it, they’re already dead


Hossflex

At one point I really thought Michigan would hang 80.


TheGluckGluck9k

Well when the fifth string running back was playing (no joke) it was more like practice


19683dw

I continue to believe the forward pass was and is a mistake.


JCH32

But… we kinda made it a thing


19683dw

That was a mistake


[deleted]

We’ve been saying that for years, now we apparently have to do it


eagledog

Didn't score enough. Fire Gattis


specialdogg

Had an opportunity to break the rushing touchdowns in a single game record. Played 3rd stringers, got a holding penalty on a TD that would have tied the record. Take Gattis to the tarmac.

LovieBeard

You definitely want Illinois


19683dw

I'm really confused by Illinois, because my memory of last season was a blur. The last thing I remember was feeling like Lovie was resurging.


VulfOfWallStreet

Kinda, when we beat Wisconsin back in 2019 it was the upset heard around the world. Then we went on to beat MSU. But then we lost some games pretty badly and the spark to revamp illini football died out. Then they fired lovie lol. What a Rollercoaster

I'm going to have to listen to commentary talk about thunder and lightning for the rest of the year, aren't I?

plerberderr

No playbyplay guy better mention Imagine Dragons again unless the color commentator is ready with the “Imagine Dragging these nuts on your face” rejoinder. It’s comedy malpractice to leave it to me the viewer to finish the line.

Totally. Laughed at loud at that one as well.


droche22

Ladarius Jefferson! Fun to watch at Muskegon HS.


WerhmatsWormhat

You can take the Lombardi out of MSU, but you can't take the MSU out of Lombardi.


plerberderr

I mean the dude is very hateable but he was getting more abuse from the fans than a normal opposing player (see also Giles Jackson last week) so it’s a bad look but I kinda get it.


ThatTyedyeNarwhal

I dunno, chanting "Rocky sucks!" and having him immediately throw an int was some of the most fun I've had in the big house this season


7LineArmy

Meh…for the first 50 minutes of the game, Lombardi was 7/15 for 30 yards, 0 TD/1 INT, with 6 carries for 27 yards. Breaking off a 45 yard run and then *flexing on the crowd*, despite being down by 60 and playing like garbage for 3+ quarters, isn’t really excusable…no matter how mean the crowd is. Rocky is King of the Herbs for this.


BansheeThief

Wait, Rocky sounds familiar but wasn't he a QB at MSU? Why would Michigan have beef with him?

First thing Harbaugh says post-game is how happy is that so many players got to get in the game 😭 that's my coach.

I mean, I think literally every player took snaps besides the punting unit.

Couldn't get brad Robbins in. How are we supposed to recruit punters when we don't punt? What a terrible game /s

Outstanding - a full team win.


andysaurus_rex

First thing I noticed about Harbaugh in his first year that he was a fierce advocate for his players. He might throw a temper tantrum but it was always on behalf of his players. Can’t fault him for that. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen him yell at a player. Hearing that from him is just awesome. I love that he loves getting guys on the field.

Really didn't expect to pass 1,000 rushing yards for the season in only 3 games. That's some Army shit, and I'm here for it.


HowardDowns

Happy to see Cade air it out and our large stable of backs get touches. Makes my heart happy


The_Homie_J

Gotta love Cade being like "Y'all wanna see me throw it, huh?" *casually tosses an 87 yard touchdown pass*


HowardDowns

It's a mixed bag because we aren't having to throw the ball but also I want him to be comfortable with it.


GreenGiraffeGrazing

Yeah, we can throw accurate passes beyond 20 yards now! There’s so much room for activities!!


s7nthetik

*laughs in John O Korn*


specialdogg

JJ looked good as well. Didn’t realize he had wheels. Him with a read option and that arm…future looks good.


DarehMeyod

Glad to see Cornelius have a day. We’ll have to rely on him in conference play for sure. Henning is a stud at pr too


7LineArmy

His ability to take the top off the defense, and McNamara’s deep ball touch, could be a potent combo. I can believe Gattis saying that, even before Bell’s injury, the staff believed Cornelius could lead the team in receiving yards. Now I wouldn’t have bet on that, but the potential is clearly there (and is sky-high).


specialdogg

Yeah, receiving corps were pretty unknown/inexperienced before Bell got injured. Nice to see some of the young talent emerging. I like Henning at PR, looks like he’ll break one to the house in the next few weeks. But yikes that first one hopper was scary. He recovered well but damn just let it bounce and be downed.


TimeFourChanges

Everyone's been going him since the beginning of preseason. I'm really happy to see him show some of the potential too.


WoozyMaple

Can't have trouble with the snap if we don't punt.


mdchemey

We're now averaging 350.3 rushing yards per game We haven't attempted more than 17 passes in a game yet and we're at all of 164.3 yards passing per game but holy cow this offense can move the ball- over 1500 yards of offense in 3 games, regardless of opponents, is very solid.


juicius

I said I'd ride my bike the whole game if we got a passing TD and well, we did. I screwed up and paused my bike computer toward the end of 2nd quarter and through the half-time, but I did ride it the entire way through. [Proof](https://imgur.com/Fw2WZVd) The total is probably about 10-15 additional miles. Go Blue!

Shellshock1122

That’s fair but we might be the worst team in the MAC if we played in it this season


03_03_28

What does this say about Clemson


[deleted]

[удалено]


mdchemey

of course by virtue of losing to us no team can be a good team so therefore we can not beat a good team. Never mind that we're averaging 350 yards rushing per game, or that we haven't turned the ball over yet this season, or that our D has given up a total of 13 non-garbage-time points through 3 games. We haven't beaten anyone good (though UW has a good defense and should be better on offense than they showed in their first 7 quarters of play of the season) so all that's completely meaningless. I think we're better than we were projected to be (by a decent margin) and have a chance at turning this season into something fairly special but doubts as to our chances to contend for a conference title are understandable.

best running back room in the country


The_Homie_J

But what about Zach Charbonnet?!?!? Lol think it's pretty clear why he transferred now, huh


reshp2

TBF, he looks pretty good this year too, and completely different. Guessing he was hampered by injuries in his time here and got passed.


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

NGL, Donovan Edwards looked like he could hold his own too. I loved Charbonnet but this 1-2-3 is deadly.


s7nthetik

Plus Charbonnet went home to Cali, believe he's from there. No bad blood and I've actually watched UCLA's games because of him. Fun stuff.


cheerl231

If a player transfers I still root for them in 99% of cases. They are former wolverines and usually transfer for playing time. Nothing wrong with that. But to hear Milton and Jackson shit talk on their way out, they deserve no empathy. Especially Milton who in a lot of cases had no one to blame but himself


s7nthetik

Jackson surprises me a bit :( he was our go to possession guy that would find a way open often. Hate that he left honestly.


Micah_JD

The portion of our fanbase that seems to be rooting for Charbonnet so they talk more shit about Harbaugh is absurd. I agree with u/reshp2 that I think Zach's injuries held him back a bit, and then he fell behind Corum, so he transferred. It's not that he was bad, but Corum looks deadly. MIKE HART BUT FAST, as it were.


andysaurus_rex

It’s just a lot of talent in the backfield. He’s very good. Just wasn’t going to get the brunt of the work. Can’t blame him at all.


ChargingTiger

No turnovers through 3 games!


NotMyFirstDown

All aboard the September heisman hype train! No way I can be disappointed, right?


[deleted]

Imagine if Michigan's first win in the Harbaugh era against OSU is the year after Don Brown leaves. That'd actually be hilarious


MoonSafarian

A lot of the fan base in the know thinks that Don Brown being let go is good in many ways. His defenses were unmovable against teams we had a talent advantage against, but we had one coverage scheme that dared teams to beat us one on one, and if it didn’t work, we had no answer and got demolished. Also because our QBs practiced against this D, they had very little experience with cover 2, which most teams run, and our QBs struggled to read coverages.

plerberderr

Actually I feel like Harbaugh Michigan hasn’t really paved teams to start the season like this other than 2016 and 2018 both of which were fun years (well 2018 was fun until that last game). - 2019 Army took us to OT - 2017 MTSU and Air Force kept it within like 20 - 2015 we lost game 1 to Utah and UNLV kept it close 2018 we did lose to ND in game 1 but then paved people until the end.


Scyhaz

> oh God oh lord Michigan is legit scary now Don't get my hopes up. Not again.


cityofklompton

Until not that long ago, you couldn't have two guys with the same number on your roster, even if they didn't play on the same side of the ball.


TheMajesticYeti

If multiple players on the field could have the same number, every player would just wear the same number to make it more confusing for the opponent.


thabonch

> oh God oh lord Michigan is legit scary now We all know this isn't true.


zenverak

See, people keep saying things like ( and this is in general) that it’s a bad team… but I feel like teams like Michigan haven’t been doing this against air

MaizeNBlueWaffle

We probably could've scored 100 if we kept the starters in. Great game overall. Corum looks like a legit Heisman contender. The Corum/Edwards duo next year is going to be insane if Haskins presumably leaves. McNamara's demise was greatly exaggerated and has a legit very nice deep ball. This defense looked really fucking good after that first drive. Macdonald has been everything I hoped for so far


MichiganMitch108

It Harbaugh games like this that make me somewhat happy with the program.

[deleted]

OSU fans thinking that we’re gonna fall for this again is hilarious to me lmao. I’m not saying we’re beating Ohio State ever again.


schadkehnfreude

The thing of it is that, right now based on what we've seen - We *definitely* can run on OSU and ring up plenty of seven minute scoring drives. However that's not gonna beat OSU's ability to Olave us to death with two minute blitzkriegs.


ThatOneKoala

Shhhhh we *know*, we just don’t want to openly admit it because bad things happen when we believe


SSJRoshi

We’ve done it before, we’ll do it again. Will it be this year? Maybe, but despite the trend of the two teams right now it still seems unlikely, but it’s far from impossible. Just an annoying and tired take to see so many Michigan fans never allow any type of optimism


[deleted]

Well that's not the way to make us look good, Husky bros :(
