Does anybody have a serious, legitimate and chinsightful explanation for why Michigan is just so fucking mediocre? Just a legitimately mediocre team amd program. They have long since worn out their welcome on rep alone, and nobody takes them seriously anymore. Really thought Nutty would go there and do great things. All the things that you need are in place there. But he seems to be a shell of the coach he was, and he has done absolutely nothing there. Urban will absolutely ass throttle him this year in the big game. Michigan has virtually no chance in that one.

    Their defense was so fucking good coming into this season. I thought they'd be best in the country. Two elite corners in Long and Lavert Hill, and Hill was the highest graded PFF returning DB in the country. Third DB, Brandon Watson, is a 5th-year senior, with 38 games under his belt coming into this year. Ambry Thomas looked great as a freshman last year. The safeties, Tyree Kinnel and Josh Metellus, were both alright, and Metellus was honorable mention All-B1G.

    At linebacker they had a preseason all-American in Devin Bush, and a returning all-B1G player in Khaleke Hudson (who plays the Jabrill Peppers "viper" position). Then there was Josh Ross, Devin Gil, and Drew Singleton fighting for the third spot. Their linebackers looked fucking great.

    Then on the line, at SDE and WDE respectively they have Rashan fucking Gary (no explanation needed) and Chase Winovich, who had 8 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss last season. Then at DT there's Aubrey fucking Solomon and Michael Dwumfour, who kicked ass all spring. Their backup DE's are also excellent.

    They legitimately have 2 top tier guys at each defensive group, and they still gave up 9,000 points to Notre Dame. That's on the coach. That defense should be tops in the country. Harbaugh should be in a much hotter seat than he is right now.

    Notre Dame might not suck.

    True, despite Brian Kelly and Brian Kelly's best efforts.

    I would also point out that the Michigan defense tightened up after giving up TDs on 3 of the first 4 drives against ND. The first two drives were aided by 15 yard personal fouls and the third was twice extended by penalties on failed 3rd downs. There were a few big pass plays allowed there but for the game Notre Dame only averaged 4.4 yards per play. Only 2.8 on the ground.

    I know these statistics go against the popular Michigan sucks narrative but on the season Michigan is easily leading the nation at just 3.4 yards per play allowed (UW allowing 4.2) Since going down 21-3 four drives into the season against ND they've allowed just 10 plays over 15 yards in 4.5+ games (6 pass, 4 rush.)

    Joel Katt had Michigan in the CFP after they beat Nebraska

    Like our DAWGS the UM stats work better against the bad teams they play

    Pann State and Ohio State will tell the tale. He CAN'T lose to MSU this year
