Michigan Monday: Too Early Look at The Boilermakers 5:05 AM (9 hours ago)

There isn't a funnier community then Sparty Twitter. Their program could be absolutely on fire and they would still call out a reason or reasons why they didn't win this game. Many of you who read this blog, already know the reason they are harping on from Saturday's game. #14 was not offsides! When he stripped the ball from Bryce and MSU thought they had a big turnover. I know Terry McAulay said he didn't think he was off sides, but I'm not sure Terry is very good at his job right now. I do know he has no idea what targeting is. To give Sparty credit, it was close but I believe his upper half of his body was at least off sides at the snap.

I know Michigan Basketball is doing these exhibitions to raise money for NIL, etc. But there never should be a Michigan Basketball game that conflicts with a Michigan Football game, unless its some weird bowl game. Which in that case the exhibition would be on the football side.

Purdue (2-6) (0-5 in BIG10)

Best Win: Ball State

Worst Loss: Rutgers

Pass: 246 per (56th)

Run: 142 per (84th)

Score: 22.9 (101st)

Give Up: 27.8 (92nd)

Line: Michigan -21.5

Purdue is on a six game losing streak and we have the BTN to thank for making this matchup a night game. Why BTN? This is a noon kick if I've ever seen one. Purdue is better then they have been but they are still not very good. They had Rutgers beat last weekend and let it slip away at home. Michigan is looking for win and then will have their second bye week before heading to Chicago to play Northwestern at Wrigley, and then next week to Maryland. Everyone knows who is coming to town later in November.

Brian Kelly gets embarrassed by Texas AM on Saturday night and then loses his job Sunday morning. If you follow college football at all, you could have predicted that action on Sunday. You don't get embarrassed at LSU at night and hope to keep your job. It was a bad hire and a bad outcome. I hear Coach O wants back in coaching!

I'm starting to get worried about Rod Moore's health and his ability to play for this team the rest of the year.

I hope we hear an update on Sullivan's and Rod's health today from Sherrone

JJ is expected to start this week for the Vikings. I hope he doesn't continue to hold the ball for so long.

Roman Wilson got his first NFL TD. He almost didn't!

Michigan is #21 and ranked ahead of USC

The NFL has to do something about the second window on Sunday. Those games are tough to watch after non-stop action on the Red Zone in the first window.

MSU Post Game: Jimmy F'ing Rolder 26 Oct 5:28 AM (yesterday, 5:28 am)

Jacob Hamilton/mlive.com/TNS

If you're like me, the punt block game has left serious scar tissue on my brain. No matter how bad MSU QB throws bounce passes to his WR's or Michigan is up on the scoreboard, I feel MSU has some crazy comeback in them. I felt that from the very beginning of the game last night.

As Michigan is looking to close out the game with its running game, Justice Haynes fumbles and gives MSU life at midfield. All I can say it thank goodness for Jimmy Rolder. You can make the case he has saved the game for Michigan the last two weekends and probably has saved Wink's job. His two stops on 4th down last night were crazy good and sealed the game and that terrible Paul Bunyan trophy.

Cheers:

2 Michigan RB's over 100 yards, Yes Please!
Letting MSU make the personal foul penalties
Jimmy Rolder defensive MVP
2nd half adjustments
276 yards on the ground
Moore is always good for a late game sack
Hollenbeck had a good day punting one went 67 yards
Wink has finally realized he can't blitz so much
Michigan Basketball beats St. John's in this weird exhibition season

Jeers:

Chip has to find some type of passing game.
Morgan is going to have his own section here soon.

Great job catching punts as Goodwin runs into him
Tries to tackle Justice on a break away run
Pass hits his face mask

Marlin Klein was a yard off sides in his alignment
For 276 yards on the ground I thought the running game was average most of the game
Offense was very predictable
Hill can you please catch one of the gift interceptions please!
Sullivan's injury
Need to use Bryce's legs in the redzone more often
Missed opportunities to blow the game wide open early
Another 2nd and long first down given up by the defense

The game was ugly like most Michigan - MSU games are. The difference was in talent and Michigan keeping its head, while MSU could not keep their composure. A road win in the Big Ten is a good win and Michigan now has Purdue on tap in the Big House next week before hitting the road to Chicago and Maryland. The offense can't be that predictable and needs to find a way to get the ball to #1 and #4, if we are going to close out the year with wins.

Preview Michigan State 24 Oct 5:54 AM (3 days ago)

Time: 7:30
Location: East Lansing
Weather: 45 and 2% of Rain

TV: NBC

Line: Michigan -14.5

This is an instate rivalry game and Sparty's Super Bowl. MSU is on 4 game losing streak which has the fan base pinning for James Franklin. Michigan looks good at home and not so good on the road, even though this trip is just an hour north. This game never should be played at night and it is again. NBC should be showing something else and this game should kick a noon. Night game, big spread, MSU Super Bowl, and a chilly kick make this very upset worthy if Michigan doesn't pack their A game.

Dear Sherrone,

I know your familiar with this game and this team. There is a ton of hate in Sparty's heart against your program and team. You have the #1 QB recruit from the State of Michigan and there are a number of kids that weren't recruited by Michigan in Green and White on Saturday night. These kids know each other and they might be somewhat friendly off the field, on Saturday night they will be enemies.

Michigan has more talent but Sparty is playing for their season. They will create rings and other memorabilia if they win on Saturday night.. Michigan will have to be prepared for a team that will play as hard as they can to win this game. Expect fake punts, fake field goals, and a ton of 4th down attempts. The kitchen sink will be on the field in Spartan Stadium.

Bryce has to play clean and Michigan can't keep Sparty in the game by mistakes. Let MSU make the 15 yard personal foul penalties, make sure your team is above all the BS. I really hope Justice is healthy because he could really tip the game to the Wolverines favor with 200 yards on the ground.

I've been quiet on Wink this week as his unit played well against UW. Sparty has another very athletic QB who likes to run for 1st downs to keep drives alive. Chiles will have to have a career game but he played really well early last season in Ann Arbor. Our expectation is the defense plays the same way they did against UW and not against USC. Not sure what is going on in the secondary but let's get our first team unit back out there please.

Here is my advice, (thank you for taking it to heart last week). Spy Chiles, keep him in the pocket, get the best players back in the secondary, continue to throw to the TE's, let Justice and Jordan run free, protect against Tom Foolery from MSU, throw to McCulley and Marsh, don't commit dumb penalties, play clean, and stay above the noise. The best medicine is driving home with that ugly trophy.

Michigan 28 MSU 13

Big Ten Preview: Week 9 23 Oct 9:01 AM (4 days ago)

What a stinker for a Big Ten weekend match-up preview. UCLA is the top Big Noon game and the Instate rivalry of Michigan - MSU tops the NBC game of the week. On to the show:

UCLA @ IU (-26.5): I love UCLA's turnaround but that comes to a halt this week. IU 51 UCLA 14

Northwestern @ Nebraska (-8.5): Both of these teams are 5-2? That seems strange to me. Nebraska just got embarrassed by PJ Fleck and Matt Rhule wants the Penn State job? Nebraska 24 Northwestern 14

Rutgers (-1.5) @ Purdue: Not sure this is a watchable game. I think Purdue sneaks one out here. Purdue 28 Rutgers 21.

Illinois @ Washington (-3.5): Both of these teams are 5-2? Illinois is ranked again? I guess this is a good game. Will Illinois get the travel west cold and not show up and play? I like UW after the Michigan loss as Illinois travel west. UW 31 Illinois 20

Minnesota @ Iowa (-8.5): Both of these teams are 5-2? This could be a good game. Iowa plays great defense and Minnesota plays well at home. This game is at Iowa. Iowa 21 Minnesota 14

Wisconsin @ Oregon (-31.5): Do not watch this game. It will be ugly and it will be amazing if Luke gets through this year in this role. Oregon 61 Wisconsin 6

Wolverine Wednesday: Too Many Night Games 22 Oct 5:30 AM (5 days ago)

I get why NBC wants Michigan on night games. Even if Michigan is playing a bad team, they bring with them a big audience. Each week there isn't a good night game. Fox Big Noon game this week includes UCLA, some weeks just won't have good match-ups.

Still Michigan is playing way too many night games. This week's game against MSU and Purdue the following week at home are both a night. What are we doing? Doesn't NBC have the NBA now? Show an NBA game and give us back our Noon kicks!

I will stop yelling a clouds now and give you real information.

BG is back! He signed back with the Eagles

Lane Kiffin says Brent Venables steals signs, what everyone does it? I'm shocked.

Michigan has offered Wisconsin LB commit Aden Reeder
Michigan offers Northwestern LB commit Brayden Reilly

Word is Marcus Freeman is having his agent call on open jobs. He either wants out of ND or more likely wants a big raise.

Jimbo Fisher and Coach O both want to coach again

Link's injury is expected to be not as serious as expected and we might see him back this season.

Cam Rising has been coaching Brady Smigiel before his injury

14 former Wolverines made NBA Rosters

5 are on a 2-way (Goldin, Houstan, Livers, Castleton, Dickinson)

Kobe Bufkin was cut from the Nets

Michigan Monday: Too Early Look at Sparty and Will CSU Target a Michigan Coach? 20 Oct 5:32 AM (7 days ago)

The UCLA's turnaround is not helping any of these coaches on the "hot seat", Florida is the latest big time program to make a change and they won on Saturday. Another opening that won't make headlines is Colorado State who fired Jay Norvell this weekend. What's interesting is some insiders are saying the top candidate to replace Jay is Michigan Running Game Coordinator Tony Alford. As you know, Tony was Ohio State's top recruiter before Sherrone stole him from the Buckeyes. He has now done an excellent job building up the Wolverines backfield through traditional recruiting and the portal.

This is what you might not know about Tony (from Mgoblue): "[Alford] enrolled at Colorado State and was a four-year letterman from 1987-90. A 1990 Doak Walker Award nominee, Alford gained 1,035 yards in 1989 and set the conference record with 310 yards vs. Utah, a school record that stood for 24 years. He was a first-team All-Western Athletic Conference selection and earned honorable mention All-American by USA Today as a junior. During Alford's senior year Colorado State produced a 9-4 record and qualified for its first bowl game in 42 years."

Too early look at Sparty (3-4) (0-4 in B10):

Best Win: Boston College

Worst Loss: UCLA

Pass: 213.7 Per (88th)

Run: 123 (107th)

Score: 27 (77th)

Give up: 32.7 (121)

Things are not going as planned in East Lansing and the Spartans are struggling with a difficult schedule and finding the right mix on the field. There is talent on the roster but getting it all to jell seems to be the issue in Jonathan Smith's second year. The plan was to be like IU and turn the battleship around quickly, it just hasn't happened. Their best win is against a really bad BC team at home that took them to OT.

How is this game the NBC 's game of the week? Michigan is a 2 TD favorite, but we all know we throw out the records in a rivalry game.

Moody is kicking better with the Bears

As mentioned earlier, UF fired Billy Napier

Michigan is back in the rankings at #25

Are injuries also killing the Chargers chances this year as well?

Washington Post Game: MARSH ALL DAY! 18 Oct 12:17 PM (9 days ago)

AP Photo/Ryan Sun

Were you upset at halftime? I was, that Michigan didn't learn shit from last week and was making the same mistakes. It was 7-7 and UW is known as a 2nd half team. Here are my notes (word for word):

-Ugly first half

-Same mistakes different game

-Wink is blitzing too much

-Why can't Michigan stop a 2nd or 3rd down a long?

-Too many injuries for both teams

-Bryce needs to put some touch on the ball

-Every time an announcer says Z is the best kicker in the country, he misses

-Morgan with another big drop

-Too cute on offense

- The defense is getting nickeled and dimed to death and then gives up a big play

-Best RB in the country being out might cost Michigan this game

-They are throwing to the TE's

Then Cole Sullivan changed the game. Yes, that play completely turned the game from a close game to a comfortable Michigan win.

Wink finally figured out that defensive players in a zone is a good thing against a dink and dunk passing attack. Chip also called a good game. Zach Marshall was so open, it felt like he was there alone for like 3 minutes.

Cheers:

Making halftime adjustments and winning the game in the 2nd half
Young guys stepping up on both sides of the ball
Marsh will be a superstar here
Marshall ran mad all day, I loved it!
Michigan finally found the TE's
Zach Marshall with a TD!
Bryce played a pretty clean game and completed 78% of his passes
OL stepped up most of the game
Love me some Rolder
As mentioned Sullivan's pick changed the game
Derrick Moore with closing out the game
The defense keeping the UW QB in the pocket and not letting him run all over the place

Jeers:

Wink lets adjust a bit earlier. Your blitzing way too much. WAY TOO MUCH!
Z lets go, its time to start making 100% of all your kicks
Injuries WTF is going on?
Moore and Hillman not dressed but not on the injury report?
Michigan had a very sleepy start to the game
Those officials could not spot a ball to save their lives
Morgan's drop
Link's bad injury and the UW TE
Hill dropped a pick 6 early

Thank goodness Michigan woke up in the 2nd half, there were so many name I didn't recognize playing I had the roster up on my phone. Bryce gets better every game and I loved how they got the TE's involved early and often. That was a miss by Chip's offense early on.

The injures are a concern and I'm not sure why they are having so many. We need Justice back and we need defensive consistency to get to the OSU game without any more loses.

East Lansing on deck.

Preview Washington 17 Oct 6:05 AM (10 days ago)

Seattle Refined

Time: Noon

Location: Big House

Weather: 71 Partly Cloudy

TV: Fox (Johnson/Klatt)

Line: Michigan -6

There seems to be certain givens when Big Ten teams travel West and Big Ten West teams travel East. They don't play well. IU broke that rule last weekend and now Washington is trying to. Michigan of course fell into that stigma last week as they laid down in LA.

Washington is a good team folks and should be ranked. Their only loss was at home to #1 Ohio State. I believe they are even better then USC. They have a QB that can spin it but runs like the wind. Traditionally, these QB's have given Michigan's defense a big problem.

Dear Sherrone,

Your a good man and a good football coach. I feel bad for you because your not ready for this job. No assistant coach or coordinator is. This job rolled Rich Rod and Brady Hoke and they had years of head coaching experience. It took years for Jim Harbaugh to figure out how to coach here and he coached in a Super Bowl and played under Bo.

Wink is playing you my friend and I hope you've have had enough. Don't let a couple of really good performances last last year, cloud your vision today. Your offense is where most of us expected it would be. The Offense Line has struggled more then we thought they would but Bryce is playing well as a 18 year old true freshman. I remember when JJ was a freshman and you wouldn't allow him to throw the ball. The running game is solid when Justice is healthy and I hope he is on Saturday. The defense is the problem. The defense looked very confused on Saturday night, very confused. It also seems the tape is out on Wink's defense and good OC's know how to beat it. The last time we had that, Don Brown was our DC.

Ok back to the game, that is enough advice from a jerk behind a keyboard. Wake Wink up and get him to scheme an easy to understand formation for the defense players to understand but tries to keep Demon Williams Jr. in the pocket. The DL has to get their hands up to knock down passes, and there needs to be a spy on the fast QB. Guess what? Jedd Fisch is smart and was the Michigan OC not that long ago. He will have reviewed the USC tape and will see how Michigan struggled with the quick passing game, expect it again. Top top it off, UW's new DC is former Illinois DC and Purdue Head Coach Ryan Walters whose defense gave Michigan fits at Illinois.

Is Justice healthy? Michigan needs him to run the offense that way it can. I think we have our WR's locked in place now but the TE's need some more targets. Passing on first down will continue to open up the running game. Coach on a side note, have you seen what Jayden Denegal has done at SDSU? He had thrown for over a 1000 yards, 7 TD's and 2 Picks as their starting QB. That is a discussion for another day.

Coach, this is a very important game for you. Washington will be playing a body clock game at 9:00AM. Michigan will have to show up on defense, last week was embarrassing and probably should've cost Wink his job. If that happens again this week, someone will need to go. Your teams play better at home then on the road, which is not uncommon for young teams and young coaches. Stop the run from the QB and UW RB's, play much better in the secondary, get 3 turnovers on defense, run the ball with Justice & Jordan, hit McCulley & Marsh with first down passes and long TD throws, keep Bryce from getting hit all the time, target the TE's, and play clean football with few penalties and no turnovers.

Michigan 28 Washington 24

Big Ten Weekend Preview Week 8 16 Oct 9:43 AM (11 days ago)

Last week every Big Ten had an interesting story line, the one game we thought didn't NW at PSU ended up having the biggest impact as the Nittany Lions lost their starting QB and head coach in one game.

Now to this week, with much less interesting games:

Friday:

Nebraska (-7.5) @ Minnesota: The Golden Gophers are home dogs to the 25th ranked team in the nation. Yes, Nebraska is ranked. I think Nebraska is a better team but not by a TD and a hook. Nebraska 23 Minnesota 17

Saturday:

Purdue @ Northwestern (-2.5): Northwestern is 4-2 and Purdue continues to rebuild. Either team can win this game. Northwestern 20 Purdue 17

Ohio State (-26.5) @ Wisconsin: Remember when this used to be a big game? This might be Luke's final game in Madison. Ohio State 41 Wisconsin 7

Oregon (-17.5) @ Rutgers: Be careful Ducks if your still hung over from the IU slap. Rutgers will grab an early lead and then give it up in the 2nd half. Oregon 31 Rutgers 20

Penn State @ Iowa (-3.5): Now this is an interesting game now. When the season kicked off what was the chance Iowa would be favored in this game? Zero Chance! That is why they play the games. Nobody knows what is going to happen here. PSU 17 Iowa 14

Maryland @ UCLA (-3.5): Is UCLA the hottest team in the Big Ten? No IU is but still they have comeback from the dead and we are close to Halloween.. UCLA 28 Maryland 23

USC @ ND (-9.5): Football insiders believe ND is close to a lock to make the playoffs. I have yet to see them play a complete game (I did not see last week's win over NC State). Vegas is not buying USC after the Michigan win. This might be the last chance for someone to knock out ND from making the playoffs after going 0-2. I like USC if the team that beat Michigan shows up, if its the team that played Illinois, no thanks. USC 34 ND 28

Wolverine Wednesday: A $5K Mistake 15 Oct 5:43 AM (12 days ago)

The Big Ten fined USC $5K for playing a player that was listed "Out" on the injury report. Some have suggested that USC dressed the backup injured running back after the top 2 RB's went down with injuries.

Now, let's be clear. Michigan opponents don't ever make flag worthy mistakes on the field as Michigan opponents for some reason have the least amount of fouls called on them every week in the country. Now Michigan opponents can play players that are ineligible. Seems fair.

If Michigan did this, the following would have happened immediately:

Michigan would forfeit the game no matter if they won or lost.
5K fine would be $500K
Poor Chris Partridge would immediately be fired from the Seahawks
Jim Harbaugh would have to sit out 3 Chargers games
The Michigan staffer that filled out the injury report would automatically have a Netflix documentary.

Well done Big Ten. It's also funny that Michigan and USC might be blocking the Billions in private equity money that the other programs want. No doubt this is professional sports.

RIP to former Michigan DB Zia Combs who was seriously injured when he collided with Ernest Shazor while stopping a punt from going into the end zone against Penn State in 2002.

Congrats to Moody who kicked the winning field goal on Monday Night Football for the Bears. Does anyone else hate the 2 games on Monday night?

T-Mobile put in some cell boosters this week at the Big House

Michigan Tuesday: Wink Why? 14 Oct 5:49 AM (13 days ago)

Freep

I don't know Don "Wink" Martindale. Never met him or anyone close to him. He could be a very nice man. Don Brown is a very nice man from many that know him well. Wink Martindale is 100% the wrong DC for the Michigan Wolverines. It was a terrible decision to bring him on and I mentioned this when he was hired. Pretty sure Michigan can't hire anymore "Don's" to run the defense.

These are the type of mistakes that could cost Sherrone his job. Wink was not wanted in the NFL, he had worn out his welcome at a number of organizations. If your resume has, "John Harbaugh fired me", hard pass. His reputation is that he is stuck in his ways and believes he is the smartest defensive mind on the field or in the coaches room, when there is proof he isn't. I'll tell you one thing, Jim Harbaugh would have never made that hire at Michigan or for the Chargers.

Bob, he had a really nice run late in the season last year. He sure did. The story behind that is the Michigan defenders begged Wink to simplify the defense. He listened and did it and stopped Ohio State with a beat up defense and beat Alabama with mostly back ups.

So let's keep that going this year right? Nope, Wink believes his original concept was the right one. That is what washed up NFL coaches do (because they are the smartest NFL minds around). How has Belichick done without Brady? How is UNC working out?

Sherrone needed a Mike MacDonald or a Jesse Minter. A young DC that knows college football and can relate to the young players. Also that can simplify a defense so those young players can understand it. Did you see players understanding the defensive concepts against USC? I saw players out of position and USC's walk-on running backs running in wide open holes. I understand that we have maxed out our quota on Raven DC candidates but I don't believe for one second there are not other programs with young great defensive minds.

I laughed when Day hired Matt Patricia as he failed as the Lions head coach and pretty much everywhere he didn't have a Brady or Belichick. So far I was dead wrong on that one. Patricia is running a match-up zone that has one side playing man to man and the other side of the defense running zone. It's confusing the hell out of QB's. They have also been near impossible to score on in the Red Zone this year.

To top off this narrative, USC had a 66% success rate on offense against Michigan's defense. That is a stat you would see against an FCS defense. Wink, it's time to go and go now.

Fine Bob, who would be our DC for the rest of the season?

My first thought was let Biff do it. His background is not defense. He was an offensive lineman and a head coach. So probably not the best fit.

So that leaves really 3 coaches to choose from:

Brian Jean-Mary: The guy has been around and worked at a number of programs. He learned from Charlie Strong and is just waiting for an opportunity to be a DC.
LaMar Morgan - was the DC at Louisiana before coming to Ann Arbor, he was recommend for the job by Jesse Minter.
Lou Esposito - was the former DC at Memphis and WMU.

I don't think there is a bad choice out of those 3. I would lean towards Morgan or Esposito as they have DC experience. Washington is coming to town with a former Michigan OC as their head coach and a very slippery QB that loves to run. If Wink has another huge miss and loses this game, he should be let go on Sunday. BTW, his son is also on staff, he can stay.

Sherrone really has 3 choices no matter what happens on Saturday.

1. Keep Wink and risk losing his job.

2. Fire Wink and try to save the season as the offense continues to learn

3. Send Wink home like Harbaugh did for the defensive coach during COVID.

I feel bad for Sherrone, no coordinator without head coaching experience is ready for the Michigan job and he hired Wink because he wanted to keep the same defensive system in place. He can't wait to fix this problem in the off season, because the off season could be very long. Penn State has been dealing with the same BS for 12 years and this weekend had enough. Don't wait to make the right decision.

Michigan Monday: The Messy Weekend and A Too Early Look at UW 13 Oct 5:32 AM (14 days ago)

The State did not have a good weekend for sports. Tigers are out of the playoffs, Lions fell to the Chiefs, 2 LA teams beat 2 Michigan Universities in college football, Eastern and Western Michigan did post wins. We will get to the Wolverines in a minute. Time to discuss to James Franklin.

James is who he has always been and Penn State this weekend had enough and will cough up around $50M to walk him out the door. James over 12 years in State College has been a great recruiter and a terrible in game coach. He was that way day 1 and continued that in his 12th year. Penn State continuing to pay him and extending him when other schools came calling is on them. To quote the famous Dennis Green (RIP), "He is who we thought he was he was, and we let him off the hook" . Until Sunday when they fired him.

Before we look at UW a couple more thoughts about the disaster in LA.

Michigan's worst defensive down is always 3rd and long. What the F is happening when Michigan gets a team in 3rd and 22? Do they completely lose focus? USC called a running play and it went for like 42 yards. WTF!

I like Sherrone but if Baltimore ever gets tried of John Harbaugh, I would hire him during his farewell press conference. John Harbaugh is the perfect fit for Michigan Football and would be my #1 candidate over any other coach in the sport.

I'm not sure what happens on some of these road games but Michigan seems to forget how to play football. I will go on record, I hated the Wink hire. Hated it. Early last season I would've given him an F for the talent he had and the performance he was getting. He of course flipped that and had a really nice finish with wins over Ohio State and Alabama. With that said, have we flipped back? What the hell was that on Saturday? This is the healthiest the defense has been all year and guys were out of position and were not prepared for a a quick passing game. Every NFL team runs that offense and Wink didn't know how to stop it? There are two things that travel, defense and a run game. Michigan was running ok but Wink left the defense in Ann Arbor.

Sherrone some of this is on you. What the hell is going on? Why isn't the team prepared to play on the road. BTW, did you F up the Quarterback situation in the portal again? Is Mikey not even an option at this point? Bryce was cleary banged up during the game.

Ok, I got that off my chest. On the other hand, football is a weird sport and sometimes you can travel across country, fill an opponents stadium with fans, and get your ass handed to you by a lesser team because its football. College Football is now professional football and pretty much anyone can win any Saturday. Michigan certainly did not see that John Mateer in the Red Rivalry when they traveled to Oklahoma a few weeks ago. Will be interesting to see how USC plays ND next weekend. Michigan really made Wisconsin look decent last weekend.

On to Washington (5-1)

Best Win: Comeback against Maryland on the road

Best Loss: Ohio State in Seattle

Pass: 279.7 per (25th)

Run: 188.8 per (37th)

Score: 39.2 per (19th)

Give up: 19.7 (37th)

This team is a problem and plays right into all of Michigan's weaknesses. They have a diminutive QB who is fast, likes to run, and can spin it. I watched some of the Rutgers game and everything he did, I was thinking this is a nightmare for Michigan. On the other hand, he does tend to turn the ball over and they have yet to play a decent team on the road yet. Plus its a really bad body clock game for them with a noon kick. So I'm saying there is a chance! 😀

I hope Justice ribs are ok and he can go this weekend. We should find out more during Sherrone's presser today. Also concerned about Payne.

Salt meet wound - Penn State QB Drew Allar is out for the year.

So IU is really good. Curt will be flooded with job offers in 2 months. (that is an example of how a team was really prepared for the moment and environment on the road)

Michigan is expected to be all over Penn State 2026 and 2027 commits. Wasn't current PSU freshman TE Andrew Olesh very close to committing to Michigan?

Post Game: A LA Disaster 11 Oct 7:30 PM (15 days ago)

Maybe we thought this young team was a little better than we thought? Young teams don't travel well when they play good teams. Another thing young teams do is make bad teams look good. Anyone catch the Wisconsin - Iowa score? Iowa blanked Wisconsin 37-0 in Madison. Is that the same team Michigan played last weekend?

Michigan got beat soundly in all 3 phases of the game. Wink continues to blitz when it was clear that USC was just going to dink and dunk no matter the pass rush. Not sure what Chip's plan was, but whatever it was it didn't work at all. It seems to me that USC's game plan would've been effective for Michigan's offense as well.

The biggest loss might be Michigan's best player Justice Haynes who left with what looks like a rib injury late in the 1st half when the game was tied 7-7. After he headed to the locker room so did Michigan's chances of winning this game.

There was a few bring spots but the Jeers will dominate this week.

Cheers:

Marsh is a future star, excited about what he and Bryce can do
Two turnovers Michigan defense got near the goal line
McCulley TD was a great catch on a great pass by Bryce
No drops that I recall

Jeers:

Michigan got out coached in every aspect of the game
Michigan did not seem prepared for the warm weather
Not sure the officials understand Pass Interference - The first USC TD was OPI, The call on Marsh was not OPI, and on Bryce's pick it sure looked like McCulley got held up.
The Defense has to stop giving each opponent a 7-0 lead every game.
Bryce getting sacked on the 2nd drive and losing the field goal attempt was huge
Justice's injury of course
Bryce looks banged up
Davis is not ready to be a college QB
Damon Payne looks to have a serious leg injury
How in the hell doesn't Michigan have a punter?
I sure don't understand why Wink didn't flood the zone when it was obvious what USC was doing.
Michigan doesn't have a 3rd string RB that is not a walk-on?
Why are we not using the TE's?
Michigan continues to not be able to travel West to play a road game.
Sherrone has a terrible road game record
The 2pt conversion attempt makes zero sense to me. Just kick it and make it 10 points

Want more good news? Washington is better then USC folks. They also have a QB that gives Michigan trouble. An athletic QB that can run and pass.

Today: LA schools 2 -0 vs. Michigan Universities

Today was a disaster and time for the team to regroup and be better.

Line: Michigan +2.5

About 2 months ago, I was able to visit the real Colosseum in Rome. It's clearly not what it once was, but it's still incredible to see how the Romans constructed a large stadium in 72 AD. One thing that intrigued me was they designed a type of elevator to get large animals from the below the floor (where they staged them) to the fighting floor for combat. The visit was very crowded with people as you might imagine or have visited yourself, but it was worth it to attend the greatest tourist attraction in the world. I did not see Lincoln Riley recruiting.

Vegas and ESPN analytics really don't know what to do with this game. USC has a very powerful offense but they have been beating up on lower competition to gain those numbers. Michigan has a very young QB who is getting better each day but lost when they faced Oklahoma on the road. ESPN analytics say USC has a 70% chance to win against the Wolverines, as its tough to travel across the US and get used to a new time zone in 1 day. If this was played at a neutral site, I think the Wolverines would clearly be the favorite.

Dear Sherrone:

First off, good idea on going to LA early to getting used to the body clock change. You were right, the UW game last year was a disaster. A QB could've also helped during that game, but no reason to bring up that spilled milk. Also it doesn't hurt recruiting when your program is invited to practice at a $70M Chargers facility. It's rare a team on the road has better practice conditions then the home team.

Biff was right when he said the coaches took the air out of the ball against Oklahoma. USC like last year is going to score points, Michigan will have to as well. I love the run game against USC defense and I also like using the TE's to move the chains. Wink is going to have his hands full with the USC passing offense and Michigan will need to score points pretty much every time you have the ball.

I think the USC Illinois game is interesting to watch. Yes, USC had the opposite of the body clock game, but USC did make mistakes on offense a number of times. Getting a solid pass rush from Barham and Moore will be key in pushing USC into mistakes or quick 3 and outs. Michigan has to have stops to win this game on defense.

Sherrone I think the team has confidence with the road win over Nebraska and a couple more home wins. The defense is playing better but I have concerns with the offense line. They struggled at times against Wisconsin and we will need to see a better effort against USC. I love our run game and I expect more big runs from Justice. My biggest concern is the travel and the body clock.

Get Wink to dial up some confusing defenses for the USC QB, run the football effectively with say 180 yards on the ground, Bryce adds another 250 in the air, play clean football, protect the ball, Z makes a couple long field goals, Michigan leaves LA on the red eye with a W!

Michigan 31 USC 20

Big Ten Weekend Preview: Week 7 9 Oct 5:16 AM (18 days ago)

How did we get to week 7 already? Didn't the season just start? I rarely say this, but every Big Ten game this weekend has its own story line and somewhat intriguing. For example:

Friday Night:

Rutgers @ Washington (-10.5): Both of these teams are pretty good and UW only has one loss to the #1 team in the nation. That line seems pretty high but its the travel west that will get you. UW 28 Rutgers 21

Saturday:

OSU (-14.5) @ Illinois: This is an interesting game because everyone thought Illinois was going to be good at the start of the season and then got slapped by IU. OSU has been #1 since beating Texas and winning a football tournament at the end of last season. Classic OSU game,close early, run away in the 2nd half. OSU 31 Illinois 17

UCLA @ MSU (-8.5): A week ago this game would've had the infamous, Do Not Watch label. Now there is some intrigue after UCLA upset Penn State. Body clock game for the Bruins. MSU 38 UCLA 21

Northwestern @ PSU (-21.5): Raise your hand if you thought both of these teams would be 3-2 right now? James, put your hand down! Most would think last week was the "get right game" now its Northwestern. Iowa on deck for PSU with OSU in the hole. PSU 41 NW 13

IU @ Oregon (-7.5): Big Game Alert 💥 #7 IU travels to #3 Oregon. Time to see if IU is for real. Like many new up and coming programs IU struggles on the road. I expect they will on Saturday as well. Oregon 34 IU 24

Nebraska (-6.5) @ Maryland: Both teams are 4-1 and Maryland plays well at home. Nebraska is still a strange program to me. Maryland 21 Nebraska 14

Iowa (-3.5) @ Wisconsin: The Badgers played pretty well against Michigan last weekend and back to power football. That is Iowa's love language. Close one. Iowa 17 Wisconsin 14

Purdue @ Minnesota (-7.5): Purdue is frisky and getting better. Minnesota is the same team under PJ Fleck every year. Not sure why this is a prime time game? Minnesota 27 Purdue 21

Wolverine Wednesday: 49 Straight Nights of Football! 8 Oct 6:52 AM (19 days ago)

Michigan Football is getting on a plane on Thursday and traveling to LA. Jimmy will host them for Friday practice and Saturday afternoon they play the USC Trojans. Right now, Michigan is a 2.5 dog on the road.

It's a little quiet around the program right now, so I thought I would pass the news for the next 49 straight nights there will be some type of college or NFL football on! Yes, please!

New Single Transfer Window for Football: Jan 2-16th. Happy New Year the transfer portal is now open! That seems like a small window to get enrolled for winter semester. I don't really miss the Najee Harris is enrolled or there is a rental car in his mom's name at Avis DTW drama.

Wow, there are some good games on Saturday!

Has anyone considered the transfer portal and NIL has been really good for Sport Betting apps? These teams are very even now. For example: CMU beats San Jose State week 1, New Mexico plays Michigan hard and blows out UCLA. Michigan puts up a 60 burger on the Chips. Last weekend, SJS beats New Mexico 35-28, UCLA beats a top 10 PSU, CMU loses to Akron.

Stanford philanthropist and former trustee Bradford M. Freeman has given Stanford Football a $50M gift. Andrew Luck is so happy riding his bike to work today!

Michigan Tuesday: Body Clock 7 Oct 4:32 AM (20 days ago)

Michigan Football when they travel West must consider their Body Clocks. There is a reason West Coast Teams play poorly in the East and vice versa. Michigan played poorly against Washington last season and it seems Sherrone learned a few things from that trip.

Michigan this time will travel a day early on Thursday and practice Friday at the Chargers new expensive training facility. I wonder if they know anyone from the Chargers that would welcome the Wolverines? This will give the Wolverines another day to adjust their body clocks and prepare for what is a late afternoon game in LA on Saturday.

Since we are talking body clocks, Michigan now has the reverse situation a week later when Washington comes to Ann Arbor, which is now scheduled for a Noon kickoff. Now that is a body clock game!

Insiders are saying Michigan looks good to land instate 4-star 2027 DE Recarder Kitchen from Muskegon. Cool name and Yes, Please!

#4 true freshman WR Marsh has clearly earned a starting role.

Michigan is expected to have OL El-Hadi and TE Hogan Hansen back for the USC game

Speaking of USC, that Mark Sanchez situation gets stranger by the day and sounds like something out of Breaking Bad.

Michigan Monday: Too Early Look at USC 6 Oct 5:44 AM (21 days ago)

Michigan traditionally does not play well when they fly over the Rocky Mountains. Not sure why, it just has been the case way back to the Bo years. Last year, Michigan played terribly in Seattle against an average UW team. Now this week, they head to the Coliseum to face USC on Saturday night.

USC likes to throw the ball and score points. Michigan will need a great defensive effort to leave LA with a W. Ask James Franklin if his team was ready to make a trip across the country to face the 0-4 Bruins. They weren't and UCLA had the biggest upset ever in Big Ten Conference play.

USC 4-1

Best Win: @ Purdue

Worst Loss: @ Illinois

Pass: 338 per game (3rd)

Run: 227 Per (17th)

Score: 48 (3rd)

Give up: 23 (64th)

Line: Michigan +1.5

USC has scored a ton a points but has yet to play a complete football team. They lost to Illinois on the road after Illinois gave up a 100 points to IU. Hard to know how good this football team really is. With that said, they play well at home and just as hard it is for USC to travel East, it will be the same for Michigan to travel West.

Quick question to the BHB inmates, why are people now just figuring out that Penn State Football Fans can't trust James Franklin?

2 top 10 teams lost to two unranked teams with a combined 1 win on Saturday.

Michigan 2026 QB Commit Brady Smigiel has torn his ACL and his California HS career is now over. He is still expected to enroll in January.

Wisconsin Post Game: Paging Jason Avant 5 Oct 4:02 AM (22 days ago)

Finn Gomez, Detroit Free Press

Michigan passed for 270 yards and ran for 175 yards against the #1 rush defense in college football. The Wolverines won the game in the 2nd half by a comfortable score of 24-10. What's the problem? The drops are the problem. Drops happen to everyone, even our former star TE Colston Loveland had some drops, but this continues to be an issue for the young Wolverine offense.

Michigan has a clear #1 in Donaven McCulley who is the transfer from IU. He is a walking mismatch has great hands and was the best WR on the field for either team. He finished with 112 yards receiving. Andrew Marsh also had a solid game. The true freshman caught 4 balls for 80 yards.

With all that good news, Michigan probably dropped 4 passes that were very catchable. Semaj dropped one, Ronnie's brother had a drop (it was a high throw), and full back Bredeson had a bad drop. I know Bryce throws fast balls but the WR's have to CATCH THE BALL!

Cheers

Why isn't Justice Hayes on any Heisman lists? Another 100 yard game!
Bryce with 270 yards in the air!
McCulley with his best game as a Wolverine
Marsh had his best game!
Defense gave up 175 yards in the air and only 75 on the ground
Jimmy Rolder led the team with 7 tackles
Derrick Moore had the only sack
Zeke Berry had some nice pass break ups
Rod Moore had a pick and is just a smart football player
Hudson had a 57 yard punt

Jeers

2 fumbles that weren't lost
Z missed a chip shot
Andrew Sprague was getting beat often
Only 1 sack
The Tight Ends need more targets
That first drive by Wisconsin was ugly and fooled Wink
The previously mentioned drops
The new injury report had a new designation named, out for the year, Michigan has 6 players on it.

Wisconsin is clearly a better team after the bye week. They are getting back to playing physical Wisconsin Football. Still they are lacking in that area, they don't have a good run game and even though he played well they are down to their 3rd string QB. They are still in for a long year with a very difficult schedule and will have to rebuild next season.

Michigan will now have to focus on another west coast trip to USC. We all saw what happened to James Franklin and Penn State, as the UCLA win was the biggest upset in Big Ten play ever. I wonder how long Penn State is going to allow James Franklin (a great recruiter who can't coach) to continue to stifle their program.

Preview Wisconsin 3 Oct 6:57 AM (24 days ago)

Time: 12:00

Location: Big House

Weather: Hot 80-87 No Rain

TV: Fox

Line: Michigan -17.5

When Wisconsin hired Luke Fickell I thought it was a great hire for them. A traditional football coach that likes to run the ball and play great defense. What a perfect fit for at team with the same sensibilities. Luke wears the word TEAM on the back of his jacket. I know what team means, but there is clearly a second meaning to Luke: Together, Everyone, Achieves, More (which is an accurate statement).

The problem is Luke tried to change the offense when he got there and it's been a disaster because he loses a transfer QB to injury every year when the team really just wants to run the ball and Jump Around. This year Wisconsin has loses to Alabama and Maryland back-to-back, barley beating Miami of Ohio, and blew out MTSU. After Michigan they have Iowa, Ohio State, and Oregon in the next 3 games.

Dear Sherrone:

Welcome back coach! Did you enjoy your vacation? Biff did a nice job while you were out and even had a funny back and forth with Saban on Game Day. Biff gave you 2 wins going into your bye week, which was the goal.

Now back to business this Saturday with a frisky Wisconsin team coming into Ann Arbor. Yes, they are struggling but this is not a game you can overlook. Wisconsin and Michigan always play a close game no matter where the game is played.

We need to discuss the injuries. It seems the players are getting hurt during practice and during Fall Camp. I like that your being physical during practice but it may be impacting your depth chart. The Nebraska injury report was ridiculous. Re-thinking how you practice is going to be very important as the year moves on. Many times the healthiest team wins championships.

Now to the wide receivers. You have a great one in McCulley and some really good Tight Ends. I would like to see the young WR's use their speed to go deep and then hit the TE's for first down and in the red zone. If Simpson knows the playbook lets try to see if he can fill the slot WR role. Not sure you have the time to watch Chad Powers but I hear Ronnie Bell is available. :)

I know you have another high profile road trip next week and lets not let the team over look the Badgers. They are looking for anything to save their season and a win at the Big House would suffice. Let's continue the evolution of the offense on Saturday. Get Justice 100 yards on the ground and Bryce 250 yards passing. I also would like to see the defense keep the Wisconsin offense to under 10 points. My hope is the team is healthiest its been all season and we see the best players we have on both sides of the ball on Saturday. Play clean football,execute on both sides of the ball, and be great on special teams.

Michigan 28 Wisconsin 9

A Michigan Chad Powers Situation and Big Ten Preview 2 Oct 7:14 AM (25 days ago)

First a funny: Chad Powers was a funny idea by Eli Manning that now has become a show on Hulu. So that got me thinking. Follow me here:

Michigan has issues at WR
The Lions just cut Ronnie Bell from the practice squad
Ronnie has a brother on Michigan right now
Can we make this happen? 😀

Big Ten Weekend Preview Week 6

No Friday games this week. Not a great week for Big Ten match-ups.

Illinois (-9.5) @ Purdue: Illinois is a strange team, they get waxed by IU and then beat USC at home by 2 points. Illinois 28 Purdue 20

Penn State (-26.5) @ UCLA: There is no better medicine for a heart wrenching loss last weekend then playing UCLA with a free trip to LA. PSU 45 UCLA 7

Washington (-6.5) @ Maryland: I think the Terps are on a heater. I will take them in this boring game. Maryland 24 UW 21

UL Monroe @ Northwestern (-11.5): No idea here. I hope NW has the better team but I'm concerned. NW 21 ULM 14

MSU @ Nebraska (-11.5): One of the best Big Ten games this week. Nebraska takes another shot at a Michigan team at home. I like Nebraska but I think Sparty competes. Nebraska 31 MSU 27

Minnesota @ OSU (-23.5): The Glen Mason Bowl (I think like 8 people gets that reference). Can Minnesota pull off the biggest upset in the history of the program? I think not. OSU 34 Minnesota 10

Speaking of the GOAT, Woodson Whisky and Champions Circle is selling a special Bourbon that helps Michigan NIL

Michigan is expected to have a few visitors in town this weekend that are flip candidates from other programs. LB's and CB's please!

Michigan Tuesday: Wolverine WR Problems 30 Sep 4:59 AM (27 days ago)

Michigan has some WR issues right now. Donaven McCulley is the clear #1 with great hands, size, and winning 50/50 balls. Semaj Morgan has good experience and can be electric, he just has too many drops.

We have yet to have a Fred Moore sighting, Andrew Marsh seems very talented but has made some crucial freshman mistakes already. Channing Goodwin had a really nice start to the season but also has had issues catching the rock lately.

Other WR Options:

#5 Anthony Simpson is the UMass and Arizona transfer. He has a lot of catches in his career. He might need more time on the field.

#6 Jamar Browder got some nice camp buzz but has only played a few snaps against CMU.

#8 I'Marion Stewart has been on the injury report most weeks

#10 Kendrick Bell, Ronnie's brother has been more a special teams player this year.

#82 CJ Charleston who made a couple good catches last year has also been injured this season.

BHB Solution:

I think we need more experience to go with McCulley. That would be Simpson in my mind, if he knows the offense. He and Semaj can rotate at slot receiver. If Simpson has better hands, then you have one issue fixed.

Next, bring the youth. Get Browder and Marsh more snaps, bring the speed to the field and let them run go routes. Spread the offense a little and see if one of those guys is the next Manningham. Lastely, Bryce has to find the TE's more, they are walking miss matches on LB's. They need more targets!

Health and hands seems to be the #1 and #2 issues in the WR room right now.

USC game in less then 2 weeks will be a 7:30 kick on NBC.

I hope I have NBC then as Youtube TV and NBC are now in negotiations with a deadline pending.

Coach Morgan was out to see the GOAT's son Charles Woodson Jr. in Orlando last week.

Michigan Monday: Too Early Look at Wisconsin and Weekend Thoughts 29 Sep 5:37 AM (28 days ago)

Both Michigan and Wisconsin had bye weeks last weekend as both team needed the rest and healing time. Back to work this weekend as the game at the Big House will be the Fox Big Noon Match-up.

Wisconsin 2-2

Best Win: Miami of Ohio

Worst Loss: Maryland at Camp Randall

Next 5 games: Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State, and Oregon. YIKES!

Pass: 205.8 Per (89th)

Run: 117.8 (110)

Score: 20.8 per game (108)

Give up: 18.8 (937th)

Out of all those .8 stats it seems Wisconsin is only good at playing defense. Seeing a Wisconsin team be 110th in rushing the ball just does not compute in my Brain. With the next 5 games Luke Joseph Fickell might find his seat very warm.

Line: Michigan -16.5

Weekend Recap:

Ryder Cup: The US team needs to rethink the Ryder Cup. This competition means so much more to Europe right now then it does the US. Most of the European squad lives in the US anyways. The US

Team just can't get their head around the funky format on Friday and Saturday. To use a bad pun, that golf is foreign to them, it just doesn't compute. Sunday it was clear the US has better head to head golfers but the US just doesn't like the weird early round formats.

The loss by Penn State was the most Penn State thing ever. I'm also pretty sure I saw James Franklin punt from like the 40 yard line on a 4th a short earlier in the game. Does Drew Allar remind anyone of that one friend in college that was 50% clumsy and 50% a really good athlete? The problem was, you never knew which one would show up in the championship softball intramural game.

This doesn't compute in my head. Iowa played Rutgers a week ago and gave up 28 points. IU a week ago played Illinois and scored 63. IU travels to Iowa and struggles to score 20 points. Did Iowa defense get really good in a week or did Curt Cignetti out think himself?

In the rare occurrence of a Pretender - Contender game, both USC and Illinois came out as Pretenders.

OSU predictably played UW close for a half and then put them away in the 2nd half.

Minnesota and Rutgers are the same team.

Bobby Petrino is back leading Arkansas after Sam Pittman got fired. Bobby after crashing his motorcycle was one of the best press conferences ever!

4-star CB Dorian Barney flips from Michigan to Ole Miss.

Mason Graham was back in Michigan as Cleveland lost to the Lions on Sunday afternoon.

Sounds like the 1st ever concert at the Big House went well. Let's hope this a great way to raise money for the athletes!

Michigan Friday: Good Weekend For a Bye 26 Sep 6:23 AM (last month)

The Ryder Cup has not started out well for the Team USA, they are going to struggle to find a 1/2 to a full point in the first session. The USA team has been playing nervous and not making any putts.

Lots of golf left, but not a good start for the home team.

Still great football to watch this weekend as the Wolverines heal up for the rest of the Big Ten season.

Tonight:

FSU@Virgina

TCU @ ASU

Noon:

USC @ Illinois

ND @ Arkansas

3:30:

OSU @ UW

LSU @ Ole Miss

Auburn @ Texas AM

IU @ Iowa

7:30:

Oregon @ PSU

Alabama @ Georgia

Enjoy the Weekend and Go USA!
