The last time we had good WRs was almost a decade ago...Nothing against Wilson, Bell, etc. but Michigan doesn't do a great offense to get great WRs, so he has a harder job. I wonder when Michigan , hopefully, gets Jaydan Davis going and the recruits (please keep them) the next 2 cycles, that will make our team close to balanced...modern football wants to have about 100 yards rushing and 250-300 yards passing. Michigan will have to alter their plans to do that anytime soon.

@@thephoolshow747 Hey man we are 4-1 and ranked top 10. So that’s something to be proud of. Win the next 6 games and we are in the playoffs. (Going to get killed by Osu) I will called this season a win if we just make playoffs. And it’s really possible. But we need to fix the qb and wr play. Also Evan link needs to be better

@@Burksthewolverine If Michigan makes the playoffs with this qb situation, that would be a HUGE win to me. One week at a time! I hope they play well for the whole game @ Washington! Go Blue!

Just the feel of doom came through the tv, too. This has to be fixed moving forward.

He has a good arm...I know that!

I just wonder how bad is Dengal? Can he not pass? Not understand the main offense? If Tuttle is healthy, does it take terrible play to get him on the field? I hope not...Michigan has some options but Moore doesn't seem to want to do them.

@@thephoolshow747 I think Moore too scared to play new QB unless we lose

I like the optimism! Looking at Minnesota game, I am not sure Michigan will air it out, Minnesota is a top defense against the pass, they have not given up a passing TD yet...of course they played Iowa (not a passing team) and Rhode Island, so there is some context there. I totally agree Michigan is going to need a passing game to beat the really good teams.

I think Campbell doesn't know what to do with a running qb...and I get it if he never coached one. He is probably more inclined to run a pro style offense. But he has to adjust something...this year is going to be a scrap it together type. I just really hope Michigan wins 6 games if Orgi stays qb.

Coaches were really better the farm on Warren, so when he is being super turnover prone, Michigan had to switch up the QB. You are right, it was not fair to Orgi, I hope with another week of practice things get smoother and more plays added.

@@thephoolshow747 I think what is happening with Orji is very similar to what happened with melroe down at bama. Tommy Reese did not want to play him tried to find every other quarterback instead of running with the best option for the team. Alex orji gives Michigan the best chance to win. If they spent the whole summer and fall working on an offense to cater to his skill set We would be good to go. But it's a catch-22 because there's no other quarterback that can run this offense on a roster. So if Alex goes down then what do you do? But you know what ? That's why Sharon and Campbell get paid the big bucks. To come up with plays that can work for different quarterbacks. They were on staff when they brought in Alex and really in my opinion, college football teams are more effective across the board with a mobile quarterback so Michigan really needs to be having mobile quarterbacks in their quarterback room going forward.

A running theme is pretty much what this team has. It is the Michigan identity until Michigan gets a solid qb...now Michigan had JJ and they were still a running team. So maybe a good QB doesn't matter. But it helps when you do have to pass. I think Orgi will be better with more practice but teams also have more plays on film and they can feel confident that Orgi isn't going to beat them with his arm.

Iowa just did to minnesota what we did to usc so, I expect much the same, and a more polished version of what we saw Saturday. They say defense and a running game travel well, so expect the same against Washington and Illinois?

I honestly think that he is the starter after the 1st bye week.

The injury bug is around...Mullings injured would be horrible!

I just expect the coaches to do more with what they have and each week I am coming away frustrated!

HC Riley played it badly, their last possession he had 2 passes, both incomplete. If those were runs, that takes off 1 minute 20 seconds or Michigan burns timeouts. I will never understand how Michigan doesn't use their talent better.

That wonderful pre-season hype train where everyone is great...like Warren was great, Orgi was great...everyone is great...I think DC Wink is just not a good teacher of the game, he is used to pros who can play at the nfl level. I don't see him as someone who can teach, just my thought on him. So is the D good, could be, but they are thinking too much with Wink's new schemes instead of playing. But I don't know how you could lose 7 contributors on D to the draft and then the head DC and think it would be better this year.

I thought that WR Moore (?) slowed down on replay of it. Man, this team just finds ways to not execute at a high level! The coaches need to step it up more and coach better. I am very underwhelmed by the creativity for Edwards/Mullings/Orgi.

Sums it up pretty well!

Do you think we make a bowl game? 4 wins out of 9 games left...I don't know

@@thephoolshow747 Not sure that Loveland injury hurts a lot!

I really hope Tuttle can be healthy...I have seen Warren and Orgi and their limitations. What about Tuttle? Davis (put him to the fire and get him experience?) or Denegal? What can they do?

I just don't know what the coaches were doing all spring and fall camp!!! Did they not see what we see?

Yeah, a long time...Georgia in 2021 came to mind...the Dawgs whipped the Wolverines that game, no match. This game felt the same. Texas did whatever they wanted to do. I would put in Tuttle, our offense is non-existent with Warren. Maybe you put Warren vs. 'less' than difficult competition to build him up?

I wish Michigan wasn't ranked to start the season, I think it puts extra pressure, unrealistic, upon the team. This year will be a challenge! 15 new starters...no viable qb. How quickly does Tuttle get the job? He was listed as questionable on the pre-game notes.

@@thephoolshow747 Not sure I don't even know how serious his injury is. Yeah agree being ranked was tough, result of being defending champion

Your not wrong...I hope Michigan survives this year and can build with Moore.

​@@thephoolshow747No he needs to be sanctioned for his part in the sign stealing he's got a bad coaching staff handpicked by other people coach without a contract no he needs move on

I hope things turn around...Texas is great...how bad is Michigan?

Yup, that is a huge factor here! Good point

BS, that's like saying it's Trump's fault for the last three and a half years. Laughable. It's Sharon Moores fault. He's known for 7 and 1/2 months that he didn't have one quarterback game experience. Many quarterbacks went through the transfer portal and he bothered with none of them.

Yeah, his yearly flirtation with the NFL hurt qb recruting and then he took so many coaches with him to the NFL. A tough year is ahead...I had my ceiling at 10-2...I now expect to lose 4 games to the 4 best teams...so the ceiling is 8-4 imo.

He did this on purpose. When he had his pay cut, that was it. Jim only cares about Jim.

3 - 0 in the Turnover margin. Texas, as good teams do, took advantage of their breaks...Michigan didn't, sloppy mistakes again. Coaching needs to be better.

Thanks for the view and comment. I agree, pass more to open up the run! At the qb, I wonder if Tuttle gets the nod once he is back from injury? Orgi is limited as a passer and Warren looks like he did last year, not ready for big time football...I hope he turns it around though.

@@thephoolshow747 yes I was thinking tuttle also after his injury

I really think Michigan needs 30 pts per game to win, I don't know if Warren or Orgi offer that. After Orgi's bad 2nd pass, teams will just play him for the run, although I know it worked on the Edwards TD catch. At Orgi, I agree, a few years back JJ got the whole drive not just 1 play here, 1 play there. I think they need to give Orgi a drive or two and see how it plays out. Edwards needs to be more of a passing threat, totally agree. Lets have Mullings and Edwards out together! Thanks for the thoughts Go Blue!

Thanks for the comment. So true Derrick. Glad you came back to watch my videos.

Each game is different, it will be interesting (hopefully) to see which units improve next week. Wow, 3 centers, I didn't notice that but that points to needing some more practice/reps. I hope the young guys get onto the field later this season for added experience...but it didn't happen last night.

Thanks for the support

Yeah, it was pretty tough sledding last night. Michigan doesn't have the 5-6 games to get the ball rolling, everything going well, like they did last year!

That is a lot to ask...but with smaller rosters, a quick transition is possible.

Can you see any of the following (Washington III, Dug, Williams II, Burnett, or Tschetter) returning to Michigan? Washington, Jace Howard, and Tschetter were at the press conference.

@@stevewigger4642 I did see them there. That is encouraging, I suppose. Better than not being there, right? I would like any of them to come back and see what a coach who can develop players, i.e. May, could do with them.

I try to help where I can! :)

That sounds like a winning formula to me!

@@thephoolshow747 Check out FAU Center would be a great pickup he has graduate transfer eligibility. I think as long as we have taller guards we will be fine, we need length against the Illinois-type Swiss army knife teams!

Oh yeah, thanks for the right info on Kante. Agreed, Tschetter had a nice jump from one year to the next. It would be neat to see what he would do with May and his focus on 3pt shooting offense. With a guy who can develop talent, I hope Washington sees that and stays in AA. Thanks for the view and comment.

I would like to see Tschetter and Reed Jr stay but also Burnett

@@dependentfanatic9684 I would love for Reed Jr to stay and for us to pick up FAU center.

I would be all for kicking the tires on Smart. I just would wonder if he would leave a program he has helped build up to the (current) #10 team in the country to come to Michigan? Looking at his record, he only finished 1 season at Texas (there for 6 years) with a final AP ranking in the top-25 one time, coincidently the last year he was there. Not knowing the full story it makes me wonder if he left Texas after his 'good' year to get paid? Is Marquette a top job? Could money pull him away?
