Not what I envisioned

Have to point out all the positives. Incredible two year run. A sugar bowl loss would have been would have been a double gut punch. So much to be proud of. The expectations have been established for this program moving forward. Deboer has set the standard. The standard is playing for national titles.

Deboer 14-0 at home. 25-3 overall. Can’t ask for much more. Title run in year two.

Now the game.

I watched it from the Washington end zone.
What’s it gonna take to get Carson to play the entire game. Tupatala struggled all night. Goforth didn’t play enough. Asa had one good play all night. Trice was a non factor. All that said, Michigan had 8 possessions with only giving up 6 pts. Giving up a 170 yards rushing in the first quarter is unacceptable. 2nd and 14 you bottled up Edwards and then all the sudden he busts it for a TD.

Penix was off all night. He had time to throw. So many missed opportunities. Will Nixon’s drop was gut wrenching. DJ being hobbled clearly hurt the playbook but it felt like they could overcome it. Not the night you want to be out of sync.

Tybo and Culp were the only guys that broke a tackle last night. Michigan are elite tacklers and made guys look pedestrian. McMillan and Polk should absolutely come back.

Must adds.
RB depth. Linebacker. War daddy dlineman. Safeties and corners. Offensive line tackles.

Hopefully we get news on the contract soon.

I don’t get it and haven’t gotten it for two years now.

Bruener isn't the most athletic and plays a bit stiff sometimes but guy has been a decent tackler and is willing to initiate contact inside, especially against the run. Its insane that he doesn't get more time on the field.

He seems way faster sideline to sideline than any other linebacker that plays. He is a little slight for an inside linebacker if anything.

Michigan secondary tackled like death row dawgs, beating screens, tackling in space. That was the difference.

Definitely need to improve tackling from our D.

Need more KamFab/Bruener tackling from the team.
