i think the most disappointing part about this Michigan season is if Michigan just keeps Chip Lindsey, they're 7-0 right now and a virtual lock for the CFP, even with the QB limitations
For the @UMichFootball fans that want to be patient with Whittingham, don’t forget that Cignetti turned a doormat @IndianaFootball team into a National Championship team in 2 years. UofM looks worse under Whittingham than they did Moore. Being patient is not acceptable. #GoBlue
A super mature + candid assessment of where Michigan is at from RB and captain Jordan Marshall:
"I’m confident in saying that I think we’re a better team than both of the past teams we played, but we have not performed that way. And for me, I think the scary thing is that I don’t know how to respond because I’m so used to having all the answers, and it just doesn’t … these things that we’re doing don’t show up at practice. So it’s new to me to see these things, and I’m just like I don’t know how to fully grasp it. All I can say is, ‘Guys, let’s go! Like, strap it up! We have to go! Like, it’s time to go!’
"Everybody has to look at their self in the mirror, and I’ve said this more than once, but we have to be more connected. I don’t know. We have to be more connected outside the building, in the building. It has to all come together, and we’re playing as parts right now.
"The offense will drive, then we’ll just stall out. Then we’re leaving our defense out there. Then we’ll have a stupid mistake on special teams, and all these mistakes add up. Whether they’re consecutive or they’re spread out, they add up over time.
"I think that’s what’s getting us out there on the field. Those mistakes add up, and everybody’s looking at each other like, ‘This doesn’t happen in practice.’ And a practice has to be a game rep. Every single rep has to be a game rep, and it needs to be like that every single day."
Think we just gotta move on man. Can’t spend a single more dollar on this QB or keep this coaching staff after this. We are no longer in the wait and see era of CFB.
This angle gets me, where he’s just kind of standing there soaking it in, then sees his daughter and smiles, then instantly melts into tears … whew. Hell of a run, 35.
I am not sure what I am madder about
- kickoff return TD
- diving over the pile on 4th & a long 1
- running on 3rd & 5
- Berry unnecessary roughness
All a different flavor of infuriating
