1. Offense vs NebraskaStarts at 1:00
Is yogurt, honey, and granola a snack? Dave Nastersnacks will give us the answer. Oklahoma was a 24-13 loss but it felt worst than that, this was 30-27 win but it felt better than that (but also worse!). The domination on both lines was more notable than some of the silly, bad things that happened. Between Oklahoma and Nebraska, Michigan hasn’t had a complete touchdown drive (but this game had an 8 minute drive to go up by 10). Caveats aside, we’re on the verge of saying Greg Crippen is good after he blocked three guys on one play. Running stretch is hard and they’re running it quite well. McCulley had a great game but was to blame on Semaj’s throw being incomplete. Zero drops otherwise and ran guys over. Everyone else? Not so great. Gotta catch the ball on a slant, get used to passes from Underwood. Should they throw it to Peyton O’Leary? The running backs sure toughened up in this one. Max Bredeson blocks everyone like they’re Caleb Downs in the Rose Bowl. Not many Bryce critiques. Catch the ball. Guarnera is just not making mistakes. What’s the next good defensive line that Michigan will play, Ohio State? Michigan consistently got a play in, saw the look of the defense, and got a new play in.
2. Defense vs NebraskaStarts at 46:58
Time for a Wink Martindale argument? He doesn’t need to do anything fancy. Just run the Iowa defense, you’re not going up against an NFL offense. Brandyn Hillman is being asked to do things outside of his base job. 27 points, seven are on Biff, seven are on Hillman taunting, three are on Mangham missing a sack. Otherwise it was pretty good? Raiola was getting sacked every other play. Too many safeties missing sacks. Complaining aside, they got to the quarterback a lot and tackled well. Sanders has been playing a lot and there haven’t really been any negative feelings about him. Wink would be a better poker player than Mike Debord but not as good as Jesse Minter. This game felt like Trey Pierce arrived. Cole Sullivan has absolutely emerged, he’s little bit of everywhere and has freaky long arms. Defensive backs played well. The Shamari Earls PI was a bit weak. Brandyn Hillman needs to grow up, that was the most obvious personal foul in a minute. Brian usually defends players celebrating and even he says that’s an obvious foul. Was it a targeting call at the end of the game? Let’s talk abou
