Boom! Watching Michigan and Minnesota has been painful. Minnesota has absolutely ZERO playmakers on offense. Great defense, but awful offense. Same with Michigan. Just awful...

Is that why they were 7 point dogs? This already reminds me of what he did in the first year with the Niners. Uglied up games and had very limited skill players on offense. He is great at staying in games and having a chance at the end. It will work well there. And he may stay a while because after 4 years of him, the kids will move on naturally.

Good Lord - the officials gift Michgian a touchback on a ball that wasn't even close to the goal line. Some things never, ever change. What an awful call.

Iowa fans seem unsurprised that Rudock still isn't a top-flight QB. Harbaugh doesn't seem to have a lot to work with on offense other than a reliable TE.
Jabril Peppers is going to make a LOT of plays for the Wolverines, though. How many times did Utah whiff trying to block him?

I think I would hold off on any criticism until you see us play. First year systems are far from perfection, and we are going to see some ugly plays coming from our own team on Saturday.
Michigan is a very well coached team. They didn't panic or lose much composure even when trailing and getting stuffed in the running game. They stayed the course and if not for the lack of efficiency by the QB they would have won this game. That's a sign of good coaching and a team that is bought in. That being said if you're going to run that style of offense you have to be very efficient. Ruddock missed 3 would be TD's and threw 3 picks one going for 6. Defense was very stout.. Michigan will only get better throughout the year because you can tell they're bought completely in..

I fully expect us to look rough, which would be 1000 times better than UM's offense. They looked like it was their first practice. I believe that JH will get the to a good place, but the
correct. Ruddock looked like well....Ruddock. I can see why Ferentz let him transfer in conference with no penalty.
Agree with this. Utah is not a bad team, but there are reasons the Utes are picked to finish 5th in their division - ahead of only Colorado. Utah killed itself all night with stupid penalties and crappy special teams play, and Michigan still couldn't capitalize.
I disagree. They were sloppy. Somebody needs to teach that kicker what an on-side kick is. Maybe they were a well motivated team. Maybe JH is a good coach who will turn things around in the next couple of games. But, as of right now, they are not a well coached team.
Simply, the better team won that game last night. Call it coaching. Call it talent. Call it anything you'd like. Utah was the better team and it wasn't in doubt. Now, one might ask the question of how Nebraska would have fared against Utah last night. I think Utah is a nice team, probably pretty comparable to BYU. I'd like to believe Nebraska would have beaten Utah last night, but we'll learn a lot more tomorrow!!
Bro. I can't read anything you post without laughing at the vicious dog man.
It's awesome huh? I laughed pretty hard when I found it.
It is funny. Put him in Khakis and a headset and he could be the coach of Michigan.
when 2 teams have relatively equal talent .. games come down to turnovers (Mich 3 - Utah - 0 - not counting the hail mary INT to end the half) and execution in the 2-5 plays per game that are potential game changers -- Michigan missed wide open WRs for TDs on 3 occasions

Michigan has a terrible O line, they couldn't open a hole if they had a shovel. On some of those deep throws Ruddock had overthrown the receiver he was nailed about the second he let the ball go, if he had another second to throw who knows.
I realize that and I could be wrong but I believe that the Ferentz had to release him to transfer within the B1G per B1G rules.
