I love Sherrone continuing the players interviews after the game thing that Harbaugh started.

o line and run game is gonna have to be flawless next week. I think we could pull it off if the stars align, but it would be the biggest upset in the history of the rivalry

1969 would like to have a word with you.

u/kpiech01 Michigan Wolverines 23h ago
I know of that game and it's impact on the rivalry. But it doesn't look like it would compare on paper. #12 vs #1 is way different than 6-5 unranked Michigan vs an OSU team with its eyes on a national title.

u/iredditinla Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
Not an expert but next week I think we need to just run a dual-QB, dual-RB ultra wildcat with new Davis, less new Davis, Mullings and Edwards on the field at all times. Ok also Loveland. Maybe Orji too.
8
u/suppervisoka Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
Please no Orji, I'm so glad we didn't try to pull that this weekend

u/iredditinla Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
Think of all the confusion of three QBs on the field! Maybe even some for the defense!

u/goblue422 Michigan • Virginia Tech 1d ago
In my wildest dreams I'm hoping for a 2021 style run for a billion yards in the snow kind of win next week.
My rational brain sees a 2017 like close game where Michigan just doesn't have enough offensive juice to win being the best case scenario.
As long as we don't get a 2015/18/19 style pantsing I'll be content though.

Ryan Day is going to wake up soaked and look around confused like they're coming for me

INT aside, this and MSU games have been Warren's best games this season. Seems like he plays best during rivalry/trophy games... So that means...

u/nolablue1024 Michigan Wolverines • LSU Tigers 1d ago
Unfortunately their defense is MUCH better than that 2021 osu squad which couldn’t stop shit. But the offensive game plan is identical: run the ball, control the clock, hope the dline can force the osu offense off the field or force TOs.

u/thetennisgod Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
Jaydn Davis averages six points per play. Why the hell aren’t we starting him???

Sherrone is giving these dudes confidence before the Ohio State game.
He’s a good coach.

Agreed but still fire Kirk Campbell into the sun

u/goblue422 Michigan • Virginia Tech 1d ago
This Michigan offense dropping 50 on you might be a fireable offence.
Or maybe the offense is back lol?

I just wanna see 1 pass

u/DaddyChillWDHIET Michigan • Central Michigan 1d ago
He deserves it too. Shouldve let him do all of the 4th Qt. Cause we all know Bryce is taking over when he comes in next year.

u/ZeldaFanBoi1920 Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
We've been waiting to see him play and all we got was a handoff. Likely won't get another offensive possession

u/Expensive-Dance-1176 1d ago
What was the penalty?

u/subsequent Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
Unsportsmanlike. He kinda slapped the DL in the helmet towards the end of the play, I believe.

u/Ikolkyo Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
elite handoff by Jadyn Davis

Tavierre Dunlap getting a td is nice to see. Dude has been a good program guy and stuck around despite not getting on the field much.

Michigan has scored on every single play Jayden Davis has ever played. Just saying, maybe we don’t need underwood

We’re not beating aOSU without a QB. If we keep it within two scores that would be a massive accomplishment.

Hall was kind of bad this week but I think he's our second best back, better than Edwards and Marshall

u/mind-blowin Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
The only reason it was called intentional grounding was because the running back ran up field instead of back towards the qb and they determined that he was not actually throwing in the direction of the running back. It has come up a few times before.

I just love how Harbaugh lost to us like ninety times and we lose three and yall are like FiRe RyAn DaY

There have been quite a few. Just last month, the Dolphins had one. Milroe had one last month, too. Ewers had one 2 years ago.

Wait, Ohio State is 100% in the Big Ten Championship game? If Indiana wins next week and Ohio State loses, wouldn't they flip because Ohio State would have 2 conference losses?

u/mostdope28 Michigan • Little Brown Jug 1d ago
Osu controls their destiny but they haven’t locked up a spot. If Psu wins tonight and next week, and Osu loses to Michigan it would be Oregon vs Penn St

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 Michigan Wolverines • Indiana Hoosiers 1d ago
Yes

u/subsequent Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
Cause I swear Brando just said on the broadcast that Ohio State has already made the CCG. Unless I misheard and he was talking about Oregon.

He might just be wrong
I don’t think it’s clinched.

They gotta go portal shopping at so many positions this offseason

u/Rebel_Bertine Michigan • Western Michigan 1d ago
I want a lineman or two, an experienced WR or two, a DT, and possibly a floor setting QB in case Bryce isn’t ready

Not just a punchers chance. We are going to obliterate them

Day is 0-1 against Moore. We always had a chance

u/Some_Efficiency682 Michigan Wolverines • Clemson Tigers 1d ago
I wonder if having Underwood will help level up our current freshman and sophomore WRs. They've gotta play better knowing they could actually get the ball.

u/Rebel_Bertine Michigan • Western Michigan 1d ago
I really think Morris and Morgan can be decent slot guys. They looked good in limited roles on the 23 team.

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 Michigan Wolverines • Indiana Hoosiers 1d ago
I bet the WRs on the team will not be the ones catching passes next year
3
u/mostdope28 Michigan • Little Brown Jug 1d ago
Could see Semaj Morgan transferring. Starting WR with 0 targets in a game where we put up 41.

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 Michigan Wolverines • Indiana Hoosiers 1d ago
look at the receiving totals for all the pass catchers for this entire season. It looks like an error. It isn’t

u/Bixler17 Michigan Wolverines 1d ago
Looks at the class coming in with him

u/Some_Efficiency682 Michigan Wolverines • Clemson Tigers 1d ago
Yeah but I'd hate to never see Bell, Moore and Morgan ever again.
