Michigan Game Week Thread

Lot of shit talking there using a team that ended up with 77 yards rushing and 7 points. Not sure we're better than Buttgers either.

Buttgers would beat us by a TD or two


Its possible, but Nebraska would've also gone 3-0 with home games vs Temple, Northwestern, and Virginia Tech. You're talking about the worst team in the MAC, the last place team in the Big Ten, and the worst team in the ACC. Prior to last weekends games,

Buttgers now plays Wagner at home this upcoming weekend. They will be 4-1, and just have to find ways to beat Indianus and Michigan State in order to go bowling.

Nebraska will be 2-3, and need to scratch and claw a path just to reach 6 wins. Buttgers couldn't beat two of the worst Nebraska teams from the last 5 seasons. I find it difficult to believe they could beat a Nebraska team with a real defense by a "TD or Two."

Buttgers is like 111th Nationally in Total offense. They do have a much better kicker though.

I think it just depends on who Nebraska has at QB and whether we can play a clean game. It’d be hard for Nebraska to beat many teams the way they played the first 2 weeks.

Getting Sims back in at QB and somehow finding a way to have him play a clean game gives you the best shot to win. Things will get pretty dicey with HH at QB starting this week, given his limitations in the passing game.

Temple hasn’t been in the MAC since 2011
 
I could see Fields being a gay cuck.

Buttgers has better personnel than us at WR and on the OL. I like Anthony Grant more than their best back Sam Brown V but they have a stable of solid backs MUCH better than what we have available right now. Gavin Wimsatt is a better passer than HH/Sims but those two are MUCH better runners. Kirk Ciarrocca is miles ahead of Satterfield as an OC. Michigan destroyed them in pretty short order.

To win, we're gonna need to keep the offense simple for HH. Play action boot passes to Kemp and Fidone. Lots of designed QB runs. HB counter/zone stretch for Grant. The defense has to go out there with their hair on fire ready to hit anything moving. Michigan truly doesn't scare me as much as people think they should.

It's the uniform and the #2 next to their name in the polls. They execute well and have talent. They can be beaten.

Bro, have you seen the huskers play? We can't beat their second team.

There is zero evidence that Buttgers is anywhere close to Nebraska along the line of scrimmage. That's not true at all. They've lost 16 straight Big Ten games to teams NOT named Indianus, and that includes a dog shit Nebraska team where they could barely get a push.

This current Buttgers team is 112th Nationally in Total offense and that's with a non con schedule that Sagarin ranked the 11th toughest in the Big Ten.

Wimsatt has 4 TDs passing and a 52% completion percentage. In fact, their WRs, while better than Nebraska's, are irrelevant because their offense is still just as one dimensional as Nebraska's.

I will give you the Ciarocca argument though.
 
They’re in the American and they’re not actually the worst team there. Good to know you don’t know ball.

I'm aware they are in the American. And they won't be favored again the rest of the season vs. this schedule. South Florida used to suck, but they have turned it around. Temple got worse. They're looking at a 2-10 season:

@ Tulsa
UTSA
@ North Texas
SMU
Navy
@South Florida
@ UAB
Memphis
