Two 11 point plays away!

I haven't decided if I will ever watch it.
But I will forever believe our travel scheduling and cheapness was a partial cause of the team playing so off.

Rosengarten had a rough game. I wanted to say he never really got tested against great edge players in the Pac-12 (not playing Latu & the Murphy twins this year) but I look at a decent amount of 7 round mocks and the Coug and Utah have edge guys going before any Michigan guys and he practiced against Trice and ZTF (same as Ute/WSU guys) so who fucking knows.
Those 7 round mocks also show Michigan, is just loaded with guys who are gonna go rounds 4-7 instead of relying on playing walk ons a ton of reps at DE and having no running back. I blame Jimmy for not recruiting for two years and DeBoer for not doing more/better in recruiting/portal the last two. They easily could have had a more full roster the way Michigan did.

It's one of the things about way football and sports can play out they somehow lost to Michigan by more than they lost to Alabama in that game but it really seemed with UW's O against Bama's D it was simply hopeless and they were gonna need a completely broken/lucky play or a defensive score to make a play after the first drive. I never felt that way against Michigan. Felt like they had plays there and just couldn't connect the dots. I also felt that if UW could have even just tied it up and put an ounce of pressure on Michigan's offense that UW easily could have taken control of the game and loosened things up. Basically once guys stopped running in the wrong direction Michigan's offense could do almost nothing and I think they were trying.

If UW ties it up then JJ has to live up to his bullshit draft position and he probably shits himself. We? actually took advantage of Michigan's one major weakness after the first quarter.

You mean like "what if our coach hadn't ben interviewiing for another job in the days leading up to the game?"
-
Michigan never needed to open it up … when they did in the 4th they completely shifted the field and ended the game
It’s a chicken and egg argument

This is accurate and why what ifs are what they are
Nobody has more what ifs than Oregon against UW
Scoreboard baby

Jesus christ, can we just make a new sub forum where Hypnofag can just write novellas and respond to them himself over and over? Because he clearly can't follow anything when someone other than himself is posting. Vanilla? Devs?

2 plays is kind of silly. Our DL wasn't NC caliber and neither were the LBs. Dillon Johnson getting a high ankle sprain on the 1st play of the game didn't help either.
On the other hand, Michigan was a complete team and those two plays would have helped but UW would have lost anyway….just in a closer game.
