Please let Coach Lynn that Michigan will run the ball a lit next week. It would nice to see the defense with some kind of idea next week.

Bizarre to dislike your own team. In the age of the portal, I barely know any of these guys. And then they fumble away the game. These ISU guys are in over their head.

We knew this was a total rebuild with or without Franklin’s firing, and Campbell did the best he could to assemble a roster, but he has to realize that Rapp, Collins and Koby Howard are probably the only guys that would start for #19 USC.

I agree with almost all of this but there's very little difference between us and USC. With Howard we probably win.

Hard to expect more. If they play like this next week, they could beat an equally bad meatchicken team, but there is just hardly any talent on this team.

And they only won by 8?
Rocco had very similar numbers...is that more impressive with no talent around him going against better players? Lol

Becht has played very well tonight...not sure why that's tough to admit. The defense has been the issue.

No QB is perfect

Click to expand...

Agreed. Becht played a good overall game with zero run game and minus his best receiver and a sub par offensive line. And a terrible defense.

I don't get it either. The defense line can shift, and if they cause the offense to move so be it. Why was there a penalty???

Last year's squad had more potential. You misunderstood.

Yes, this squad sucks, but last years squad was supposed to be in the playoffs.

There is no potential for this squad. They are a mess.
