- Michigan football beat Minnesota in a very similar fashion to how it beat USC, with a final score of 27-24, falling apart in the second half, and letting the other team get within a whisper of leaving The Big House with a victory. And many Michigan fans are very unhappy with the win, but we see a lot of bright spots -- and we're not just looking on the sunny side of the street.
The offense needs some time to put things together, and it's really close. Will it get there? We can't say for sure, but we've seen a lot of signs, both in the execution and the playcalling. The defensive lapses in the second half notwithstanding, there are some positives to take away, but fans should adjust their expectations and take each week as it comes.

Things are tough for sure but they are coming along , keep the Faith ! GO BLUE !!!!!
A wins a win, take it , learn from it, get better, repeat. Just my thoughts as Buckeye fan.
Respect lololo
@@TheRicanRaider Don't get me wrong I hate Michigan, but I want the big ten overall to be good and that means Michigan needs to be good.
@@TiTosTheName23 Haha I got you.
@@TheRicanRaider I concede to your victory sire.
I wish people n fans n announcers would just give props of a W! Teams must WIN whatever way possible and if wolverines show resilience to find way to WIN THEN LETS TALK ABOUT THE WIN !! Week by week is name of Game not games months away !!!
They’re several things people and the media are overlooking, when you can run the ball, stop the run, and play good special teams, and have a good kicker, you will WIN a lot of games, all of which UM is excelling at right now. If orji keeps getting better every week they will be in the hunt for a big-ten title.
Correct, but they need to utilize orgy to his full potential. Which is running. Not passing. Limited passing. Expand the playbook to spread the defense. Defense needs to play a whole game.
th-cam.com/video/BwSts2s4ba4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oYhs3YzcfO5BMQbg
Orji did improve believe it or not in the Minnesota game, more encouraged then I was against USC. Would not surprise me if orji plays very good against Washington. And UM blows them out. Let’s GO blue!!!
Learn how to spell his freaking name! It's Alex Orji. God!
@@DaveintheD-p4s man you alright 🤣🤣 wow no problem
th-cam.com/video/BwSts2s4ba4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oYhs3YzcfO5BMQbg
When you’re at rock bottom the only thing you can do is go up. Not much of an improvement here. Still under 100 yards passing. 90% of his completions for the year are swing passes and screens. A couple small 5 yard drag/slant routes. If Michigan can complete more than 5 downfield passes in a game it’s a miracle!
They're not blowing anybody out this year.
6:15 they changed some stuff up, and added a few things which should have been done like, putting Edwards in as a receiver. Obviously more passing attempts, but the game plan and calling are still horrible.
Difference between Milroe, and Orji are the coaches. Alabama, and Saban knew they had to change the game up just for him. Michigan is not doing that.
Respectfully there’s a miles between Milroe and Orji. He throws it better (although to better receivers) and runs it better. I’m not sold as Orji as a runner - Strong and tough yes but not that explosive or elusive. IMO
@@golfboy488 well, I wasn't specifying they're on the same level as far as talent goes. I was more referring to the coaches. Alabama coaches took the steps they needed to take to change up the offensive scheme for Milroe. Meanwhile, Michigan coaches are just throwing Orji out there in pocket pass scenarios, trying to force the pass. Or they just run a vanilla read option. Orji can be a great runner, and even pass a little bit. We'll probably never be able to find out if they keep running this play calling scheme.
Check out Bo Schembechler's first season. There are similarities. Early season troubles, and losses. But as the season went on things got better. Ohio State was seemingly, unbeatable. Remember how that year ended? Hopefully this head coach will stay healthy. Don't give up hope. I think we are headed to a very interesting remainder of the season.
Don't forget Bo stressed no penalties, no turnovers, run the ball, control the clock and play great defense! Go Blue!
Remember when people were saying jj can't go deep, they won't open up the playbook what happened ??!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol!! Isaiah, i I like you, but if you thought they played better than the week before, you are really drinking the maze and blue kool-aid. This team doesn't have a starting big ten quarterback and they are not getting better every week. It's gonna be a long season brother. Michigan is gonna get some cans of whoop ass opened up on them. No need to be in denial.just get ready cause teams especially big ten teams are foaming at the mouth to get to michigan.
Look when Michigan coaches are not telling Orji to snap the ball at the last second with the clock running, that is an indication of poor coaching and play calling. That last Michigan drive was awful in every single way. Not to mention they decided to throw the ball on third down with the clock on their side? Makes zero sense. They almost gave Minnesota a chance to win and to be honest, that onside kick call was incorrect and Minnesota should have had the ball. A win is a win in my book, but coaching is not looking so hot in my opinion. I get it though. A lot to learn from all the coaching changes and all of the injuries Michigan has been dealing with. Go Blue! #BOSA
Well said @metalfan1100. It reminds me of a song by the Motor City Madman, Uncle Ted. Put Up or Shut Up. So far the coaches are nothing but a Heartbreaker if the season goes on like this.
Beautiful cross necklace Isaiah.
Michigan has potential for at least
10-2, my opinion.
7 and 5
Do you really want to say things like Minnesota defense is better than USC? You know they play this weekend and USC is a 10 point favorite.
Stop spinning. Moore can’t coach.
Stop comparing Milroe to Orgy. Milroe has speed, Orji is big and slow. He isn’t a game breaker. Defenses don’t fear his run or passing ability.
The offense looked better moving Don around motion etc.. that 3rd qtr interception hurt michigan from closing the door on Minnesota. That drive was nice Orji hit Colston with a dime. A couple of plays before the interception. Don had a nice run. The TOs are still a thorn in the side.
They will be lucky to be 500. No one talks about their defensive backfield. Look at the lack of coverage! No 10 has no clue! Good kid. Sure. But either poorly trained or over his head. What call would leave a man to rush the QB and leave his man in the end zone all alone?
a CB blitz. was supposed to have coverage over the top from paige, a miscommunication between those two which wink is responsible for coaching into them, as the dc he has to be responsible for coverage calls and has to ensure his players echo said calls, and he especially cant have his starters not know them
@@AidenB1010 it's also possible one or the other misread or misunderstood the play call.
Sometimes confusion just happens.
I've been talking about the defensive secondary. Too much loose zone coverage. Safeties seem lost a bunch of times.
@@jofi4580yea theres bound to be miscommunications, they happen in the nfl and half of these kids are like 20, theyre only made more likely and apparent when the offense cant stay on the field and the defense gets 90+ reps per game instead of a standard 60
@@AidenB1010 or maybe they should try cheating again
With as many mistakes as we are still making, we are likely to have a bad loss soon. The only thing that will save us is if the offense is holding back a bunch of plays Orji already has under his belt.
Michigan's defense is a$$ in the second half. This is unsustainable 😡
That's straight up coaching.
When the offense can’t sustain drives in the second half and the defense is on the field the majority of the game then yeah, they will be a$$
Minnesota not being flagged a handful of times made a real negative impact. I saw 55 in a chokehold more than once, and a helmet came off from hands to the face. That’s a lot of yards.
@otd28shutty, you lucky you won08
Can we please talk about Zeke berry #10 Has shown TWO CONSECUTIVE WEEKS that he is not qualified to play DB in our secondary, I think he is one of the main problems in our secondary.
I seen enough in the first half to understand this teams potential and it looks promising. If Michigan can figure out how to play fundamental football for all 4 quarters and continues to improve game per game I think they can make the CFP.
I am even optimistic about beating Ohio State, if Michigan can get home with 4, execute the bend but don't break D ESPECIALLY in the secondary, coupled with successfully running the ball I see this being very simular to the 2021 game where Cj Stroud threw for 394yards and 2 TD's. i don't see Michigan scoring 42 points but I can see us scoring 27-35 if the above can be true.
I think this season, the Big10 Title and CFP hopes truly rely mainly on the coaches ability to draft an offense that can score 3/4 TD's and 2/3FG's a game and the defense executing the bend but don't break philosophy while stopping the run (EX: CJ threw for 400 yards and only got 14 points & 64 rushing yards) and if they can do this come November the Wolverines could defiantly surprise everyone.
I have been all in on Alex Orgi since JJ declared, with that said, if Jack Tuttle gets healthy (which I think does happen come atleast November) LOOK OUT for that too, that could honestly be the biggest X factor of the season. If Tuttle gets healthy this could be a complete turn around. I haven't seen Alex Orgi look dynamic as a runner, he is more of a power back with good lateral ability than a shifty Blake Corum. With that said, what I have seen of Jack Tuttle, he is everything Alex has shown us with his legs plus what they hoped Davis Warren could be in the passing game.
It's funny how much Michigan fans hate OSU but always want to be like them. Relax. Stop acting like Bama fans from a few years back. If you can't look at 4-1 and be impressed with that so far considering their schedule, staff turnover, and team turnover then why are you even watching? Ya'll can't make fun of OSU's pockets if you're just going to sit there and wish you had the same team as them.
I really enjoy your vids Isaiah and totally agree with all your points. Including myself, the normal fan base is somewhat spoiled from the amazing past three seasons. Team 145 is obviously a developmental team that's not yet complete. I'd be happy to just watch them grow and make progress in the right direction and hopefully, we beat osu and lil bro.
Did I see some improvement from Orji? yes, was the playcalling/clock management on offense still trash? Yes. There were a couple of bad takes on this video:
1. Let’s not try to deflect the blame for the interception to Loveland. It was a bad read and a bad throw by Orji. First, You never under throw a receiver in that situation and second he had Donovan open down the sideline so his read was bad.
2. You can’t compare this team to the 2015 Harbaugh team, that was the brady bunch(remnants from the previous era) and that team was not coming off a 15-0 national championship run.
We do need to see improvement as the season progresses and no it’s not as doom and gloom as the people overreacting think it is.
Stay calm, stay focused, head down, charge ahead. Lots of changes, lots of challenges this year, gotta battle through it all. Adversity breeds success. GO BLUE!!!
All off season all throughout camp the pundents sold Michigan fan on Orji being the next coming, well……
He isn’t and now all of these pundents are telling Michigan fans to relax. Enough already. Michigan has a Oline problem they have a QB problem and they have a Receiver problem. But hey don’t believe your lying eyes
Again, I've seen Michigan digging deeper and deeper into their depth chart all season long and with Will Johnson, Josiah Stewart, and Wesley Walker out we saw some younger, more inexperienced guys like Dominic Nichols, Brandyn Hillman, Cole Sullivan and Cam Brandt getting more reps on special teams or in relief of the starters. The fact that they can still pull out a win in what is essentially a trap game as they come off a big win and prepare to hit the road for a couple weeks. Everyone was talking trash about Minnesota last week but they played very well against a defense that got a little gassed in the fourth quarter due to the offense's inability to get a first down. Not having Myles Hinton didn't help with the pass protection all day long.
They will be lucky to win 8 games. Stop it. More likely 6 or 7 wins
One of my favorite parts of watching this year‘s team so far is seeing some steady progress. Watching them in the first game you might’ve thought that 18 players went to the NFL, their head coach went to the along with most of the assistant coaches, along with a legendary quarterback and legendary running back.
My least favorite part of watching this team is listening to all the so-called fans bellying about them.
Were going to see 3 game sample from both quarterbacks orji gives this team it's best chance still hopeful the defense and orji settle and keep improving surviving October and be playing their best football in November - ? GOBLUE
I doubt this team is where it will be. That said, this game was a few plays from being a 2 or 3 TD M win anyway. This is in spite of significant absences from the line up. What does this game look like if Orji hits Edwards for the TD instead of the pick, if Barham and Graham don't get PFs and Charleston doesn't bear hug the DB on Mullings 4th qtr run.
I'm not saying 'relax' per se. I am saying there seems to be a pathway to M's goals emerging and it's more a matter of attention to detail at this point.
18:07 Blowout win, blowout win, blowout win, stop 😄 stop 😂 please stop. My sides are hurting 😆😆😆
Look Kirk is new at play calling and will have his ups and downs. But there is no excuse for him calling a passing play when we needed to burn clock. And he has to teach orgi to hike the ball with less than 5 seconds when wasting the clock. This falls on Campbell. The small details mean everything
Comparing this team to Bama from last year is missing one thing…A coaching staff that’s willing to change the offense to suit the QB. Lack of consistency in the o-line is a problem too. I don’t know why Crippen is not starting at center. Did he piss someone off?
I hope this team will be fine, a win truly is a win. Some teams can only win games where they're ahead but if you can come out of a ugly game that's harder IMO. IF they won a national championship this year who would care how close any of the games were...??
lalaland
I tend to agree on trajectory. The problem with the Bama comparison is the comparison doesn't stop at trajectory. Some are seeing some comparison between Orji and Milroe...this is a pretty far off base imo. Milroe is faster, quicker as a runner and scrambler and there is no comparison as a passer.
As a Michigan fan people were definitely not liking the close games when Harbaugh was there especially when they played Msu teams they should've beaten by 2 touchdowns after Mark D left
The OC is not making second half tweaks to keep them in the field, hanging the D out to dry. That and Wink also being slower on the draw in the second half doesn't help.
If the offense can end their funk after half then maybe this team could qualify as good.
They also lost their killer instinct. It is critical they regain it and keep it for four quarters.
Encouraging comments, but I still think that there is not enough innovation regarding play 📞& thus opponents come back in the second half
We're going to finish under 500 this season... Offense is a mess... Defense looks lost...
I see alot of plays where we hand it off and the rb runs up the middle into a wall, and it looks like the left side is wide open and orji could've gotten atleast 5-10 yards on a keeper.
People calling for firings just don’t know/understand football. It’s nonsense to hear those drum beats.
Isaiah is my dude but definitely gives me Jordanville vibes just cooler don’t even sound exactly alike
Not this, dude Michigan is nowhere near the team they were last year however, this defense is legit, possibly the best in the nation, and they will give them a chance to win every game that they play in
If orji is QB1 show some confidence in him, he threw a pick and the next 5 plays were runs 2 3 and outs that let them back in the game
its a combination of things but arguably the biggest issue is this staff has no idea how to work with Orji.
Got to start chucking the ball on deep routes and power runs.
Not very hopeful for the future, based on what appears to be a quite weak coaching staff.
Injuries are killing us. We have very good starters, but not much depth.
27:35 You call it the Minter style I call it the Connor Stalions effect 😉
Ok, so how do they get the tenth guy on the same page as everyone else? Let’s do some trust falls!
Not too long ago Isiah was talking about Orji being Michigan's Milroe 2.0, but now he's trying to walk it back with "Milroe-lite". 🤭 Mans got jokes mentioning those two in the same sentence. 😂 ...You got a better chance of forgetting your bev at Ocky Way..."O-M-G! 🙂↔️nevah, nevah, nevah!".
I’m getting tired of these fickle Michigan fans expecting perfection. Go Blue!
Nobody expects perfection, but we do expect to beat Minnesota easily. That second half was pathetic 😒. The defense shouldn't be that bad.
Odd pretty sure i heard that 20 some odd yrs ago when the admin thought they could do better then the coach. N again they hired a coach they can control...just like back then. Thats a problem for me. Would saban had been coaching without a contract? What bout jimmy? I dont need patience. What i need is to see u working toward a solution. N that means actively growing nil n using it. That means finding a competent passing game.
For example...the whole world knew at the end of last season we had no qb...what was done? Nothing. So knowing that since last season then we have plays that can help mitigate some of that right? Using orji mullings n Donovan all at same time? Maybe some quick outs or curls something to help him get the ball out quicker n safer right? Nope other then the few plays here n there...nothing that uses tgat package specifically. It feels very similar to everything all those yrs ago. Only now it also feels like....well we won a title that should appease them for awhile...theres a huge difference in how umich approaches their team vs how osu or bama does. Soveither were serious about competing n winning or were not. N right now i dont feel that we are
As long as they win I don’t care how they do it
Bro michigan is not winning shit this year. The only way we win is if we can throw. Which we cant! Please let tuttle come in and throw it.
Yeah like next year.
Alex is a tight end trying to play QB. Yes, he can run, and the defense has to account for him, But He Is Not A Threat with His Arm. An opposing team, playing against Michigan with Alez at QB needs to play 4 down lineman, 4 linebackers, 2 corners and 1 safety and Dare Him to Throw. I gave been a Michigan fan for 55 years. Tate Forcier and Dennard Robinson were better and Both could Throw and Run. We are Screwed and must live with this experiment, but Sherron Moore needs to know Rich Rod was 7-6 and got the axe!!!!
GO BLUE FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hes not a threat with his arm because he isnt allowed to throw lol, nobodys scared of a pass play that the coach wont call, theres nothing wrong with him as a passer on film
Orji had 12yds rushing how long will other teams look at him with those production numbers as a running threat? Not long
Rich rod had some years to get things in order. I think if Michigan gives Moore as much time he will definitely have things in order. Look at the recruiting coming up.
Whatever-- 8-4 at best.
9-3
What are your thoughts on the Portnoy offer?
?
Who’s he going to buy? I say go for it. lol. Out do OSU at their own game.
Michigan will go 6-6 worst and 8-4 best.
How patient were we before Jim h got here as I recall we had winning records and made bowl games!!!!! We won 10 games 3 times with rich rod and hoke and finsh second or shared the big ten tille!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FSU would kill to be 3 and 1, or 4 and 2 and be bowl eligible what if w e were 1and 4 ,or 0 an. 5 be careful what you ask for a and remember this Nobody is going unscathed one if not a ll will lose 1 or 2 games or 3 what just happened with UGA they will lose some more games Oregon is lucky they should have 2 loses,old Miss w, will lose some more games,OSU is going to get bit don't be surprised if Iowa doesn't cause some problems for them, PSU , Oregon will cause major.problems!!!!! OSU can lose 3 games home or away there are going to be some more upsets book it !!!!!!!!!
I know you gotta be optimistic and find the good in everything. I appreciate you for that, but we gotta be realistic here. This season has 2020 vibes written all over it. The only difference is we could actually pass the damn ball in 2020.
