My thoughts from the Big House...


The Good -
1. A win is the most important statistic in Football.
2. How about some props for he Oline... We double the yardage Mich had and all the sacks and intentional groundings were a result of the receivers not getting open (Or BJ not finding them). Brian Johnson had at least 4 seconds on every pass play.
3. Louie Sakoda is so valuable to this team. He's my MVP. That being said I wish he would get the ball out quicker on punts.
4. Props to the defense!!!!! We had almost as many penalty yards as their offense had yards. Michigan never had a sustained drive. There were many 3 and outs.
5. Sean Smith is a shut down corner.
6. Paul Kruger might be the best d lineman in the country
7. No wasted timeouts and good clock management

The Bad
1. Too many turnovers
2. Too many penalties
3. BJ is too tentative on his runs/scrambles. several times the pocket opened up and if would just run forward he had 7 yards. He only did it once and he got 7 yards.
4. the second half was played not to lose instead of to win.

The Ugly
1. Rich Rod's coaching - My brother Matt doesn't agree (because he doesn't know football)

Ask yourself these questions

A. Does a good coach lose at HOME when they are ranked #2 in the nation to a 3-7 team
B. Does a good coach who has a good offensive line that can run the ball only run the football when they are down?
C. Does a good coach adapt to the players he has or make excuses that "he doesn't have his guys"?
D. Does a good coach run no huddle with a new offense (not a too mention a freshman Q when it makes his Defense spend a lot time on the field?

I think Michigan is going to be pretty good, just because of their athletes. But, you're right, Rodriguez is an average coach.
