That was super interesteting! Thanks for sharing.

are any of these ever close to right?

You better hope that Peters and the passing game get a hell of a lot better before Wisconsin and OSU then.
November 5th, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
November 5th, 2017 at 7:55 PM ^
Yeah, no.
Nice to see you made it back to positive points.

56 yards in the air is very unlikely to get it done against Wisconsin or OSU. Does that make me a Buckeye troll too?

see how we maul the Terps... all our east coast players (and we have a lot of them)
will be keyed up to go back east and show what they can do!
I see another 300 yards on the ground again!
November 5th, 2017 at 9:11 PM ^
No, we didn't need to throw the ball against Minnesota, but as I think you imply, Wisconsin and OSU are going to present much more of a defensive challenge. There's no doubt that our OL run blocking is vastly better than it was at the beginning of the season, and Higdon and Evans have proven they're capable of hitting the home run if they just get a crease. I'm just skeptical we can be as one-dimensional against the Badgers or Buckeyes and be successful.
The onus will be on Peters to be able to deliver strikes downfield with consistency and regularity, and he hasn't had the chance yet to prove he can do that with an OL that still struggles in pass pro and young receivers who still have trouble getting separation. Maryland is going to be an interesting test opportunity.
November 5th, 2017 at 9:23 PM ^
Agreed.
Unless Higdon + Evans get their Tim Biakabutuka on collectively, defeating Wisco and OSU will be tough.
I think we match up better with Wisconsin especially now since they lost their most consistent WR for the season it seems.
Whoever manages to rush for more wins that match up. Peters just needs to do enough with DPJ and the TEs to keep the defense honest.
OSU on the other hand, have the athletes to match up toe to toe with us. Going to need Peters to make some plays to win.
November 5th, 2017 at 11:40 PM ^
You're argument is complete horseshit: we didn't pass because we didn't need to because our run game was unstoppable so therefore we lose to Wisconsin and OSU because we leveraged our ability to run the ball and control the game with the least possible degree of uncertainty. That's literally your argument.
November 5th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
that Peters did not play better given that there was a beaver moon out. But I think he did a decent job. He seem to lose a bit of accuracy after taking the hard sack. I think he will improve enough to be competitive against WI and OSU.

November 5th, 2017 at 8:20 PM ^
im sorry about your small penis
November 6th, 2017 at 11:03 AM ^
We are going to win out. No way we're going to some lame chicken bowl. The team has new life with Peters at QB. I absolutely guarantee we win out with a big win over OSU.
November 5th, 2017 at 7:13 PM ^
November 5th, 2017 at 7:29 PM ^
I mean, kind of? We have some definite flaws, especially if we get behind and have to pass to catch up, OL had major issues keeping Peters clean even against MN. OSU and Wiscy gonna tee off and knock him out of the game unless we make big strides in the next couple weeks.
November 6th, 2017 at 6:42 AM ^
November 5th, 2017 at 8:00 PM ^
Fuck yeah, one of those two is going to get an ass whooping. It's this program's destiny to kickstart 2018.

CBSSports has UM playing Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl, 12/27 in Yankee Stadium.
November 5th, 2017 at 7:28 PM ^
ew, that's the Worst Case Scenario Bowl.

I was posting it more b/c of the "Don Brown facing his old team" angle.

November 6th, 2017 at 2:44 PM ^
don't think it will work like that. I think that the BIG could have four teams in the NY6 without a playoff team.

Palm is predicting that no one in the B1G besides Wisconsin make a NY6 bowl. I find it hard to believe that will happen ... Chances are a 10-2 Penn State or Ohio State (or both) sneak into NY6 bowls. If that happens, Michigan's bowl opportunities improve significantly.
Better yet, Michigan beats OSU, Wisconsin, or both, and does no worse than the Outback. Win 'em all and it's Michigan sneaking into a NY6 bowl.
November 6th, 2017 at 1:13 AM ^
we might be playng LSU under that scenario...and you know that Les will be there...
November 6th, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
I agree that the Outback Bowl is in play, but honestly... is the Outback Bowl really that much better than the Holiday Bowl? It's not like facing off with Mississippi State is any better than playing Washington State, we have gone to a Florida bowl game the past two years so California would be something new. The only benefit is playing on NYD, which I don't think really matters anymore. Especially if we're playing a ranked Pac-12 team in primetime. Playing Arizona, Stanford, Wazzou, or USC is infinitely more interesting to me than an SEC team.

Michigan would destroy Arizona. Worst possible matchip for Rich Rod.
November 5th, 2017 at 7:52 PM ^
That's pretty much true, but the human-interest angle would be fun.
November 5th, 2017 at 9:14 PM ^
Losing a bowl game to AZ and RR would be "fun" in the way that disaster movies or chainsaw movies are "fun." MGoBlog would be a special place to be in that scenario.
November 5th, 2017 at 8:06 PM ^
Don Brown can show RR how to properly coach a 3-3-5 defense.
November 5th, 2017 at 11:03 PM ^
Over the other toilet bowls listed. Show old RR that his spread does not work when it faces a good D. We know by experience from those lousy years he gave us! Even though Harbaugh should of just kept running on State, I think we would have won if he did. I like how this team is progressing. Now lets work on the passing game against Maryland.
