You can see the pain on Joe’s face when he talks about Alabama and deep down knowing that no team is going to stop them 😂😂😂😂😂
Play Georgia again.
@@ScottyBarnes-kc7cnwe just did
@@ScottyBarnes-kc7cn No
That's why I don't like Joe he hates on Alabama too damn much there's nothing wrong with Alabama roll tide 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 f*** you
Whole lotta wishful thinking
#2 Caleb Downs don't forget the true freshman
Joe did MUCH better this time. He seemed humbled a bit and turned his hater mentality way down to almost nil. If one is going to be a credible analyst THAT is what you have to do if you want to be taken seriously or you can end up looped into the "Booger McFarland" category where no one takes him serious because he lets his hatred flow and his fanboy attitude rule his mouth. He sounds ridiculous. So keep working on it and I can see you becoming an outstanding analyst. Blake ... you are GTG and a natural at this.
I have respect for Michigan and I think they will have the best defense Bama has seen all year it’s going to be a hard fought great one RTR🐘‼️
Old man lifelong Michigan fan here who thanks you for the respect and extends the same to Bama-Nation. Saban and his players never gloat despite being the sport's gold standard. Salute 🫡
He likened Ohio St’s defense to Bama’s!! Hahahaha What a clown!🤡🤣
He’s just chatting
Bama has a true freshman in Caleb downs better on defense than Ohio has senior players or Michigan,much less they do not possess a Dallas turner or a Chris Braswell
Joe how many points did LSU score on Alabama in the second half?
How many points did tennessee score on bama in the second half?
I gotta say listening to these two guys discuss this matchup has been the best I’ve listened to so far of any channel. You earned a sub from me
We greatly appreciate it! Thanks -Blake and Joe
A few points to consider. JJ was playing with an ankle injury the last 3 games. As far as his stats He had not had to play a 4th quarter for the first 7-8 games. I think that may be where most teams underestimate Michigan. Its not what they have done the last few games, its what they are capable of doing. They have special plans/packages reserved for special teams. There is no team more dangerous than Bama this time of year. So Michigan will need to bring their A game which I suspect they will. Its going to be a great team against 2 great programs. I definitely would not bet the ranch on Bama in this game if I were Blake, as Joe said the teams are much more evenly matched and it could go either way. Michigan has not won the big games yet in the playoffs which means that they are due for a payout. JJ and Blake did not delay their NFL draft to come back and play School. May the Best Team Win.
Not to mention they played 3 of the top 5 defenses in CFB their last 4 games. Dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Then says osu doesn’t have DBs that can play on an island…Typical SEC fanboy 🤡
Lmao I think you don't know what your talking about....if 4 of the top 5 defenses are in the big10... that tells you more about the offenses in the league.. how about you look up the offenses the big10 has...Bama has played 4 of the top 10 offenses. Your defensive ratings don't tell the whole story. Your strength of schedule does. And your playing a team that has played the toughest strength of schedule out of the teams in the playoffs.
@@kenfelder6478That's exactly right my friend.
@@kenfelder6478 And yet only a injury to FSU quaterback got Alabama in.
No one has talked about Michigans replacement for their All American tackle (Zint) that went down. He was absolutely HORRIBLE against Iowa. He was best almost every play and had multiple penalties that killed good drives. I don’t know who’s going against him from Alabama but whoever it is I know they are great. I sure hope that guy get a lot better before this game or it could be a long day
The strength of schedule improved tremendously after the allegations
How does strength of schedule improve after something? They had the schedule before the year and before the allegations. You can't change it mid season 😅😅😅😅
In the last 5 they played the number 1,3, and 5 ranked defenses of course the offense would take a step back 😂
@jalencampbell718 I find that statement funny.... the defenses played other bad offenses.... but ok the real problem is what Michigan likes to do Bama also likes to defend. Michigan hasn't seen size and speed like this so another step back coming
@@kenfelder6478 ok and in the sec their offenses play bad defenses minus maybe 3 or 4 teams so whats your point
@jalencampbell718 thanks for helping my point.....Bama is the one team that's played some good offensive teams and some good defensive teams, they also played the hardest schedule. You mix all that in together and you get a team about to beat Michigan
Blake Ruffino knows football he's a smart guy that use logic. Joe is just in his feelings. Bama is better in all positions.
michigans two corners shit all over bamas corners. Michigans tight ends are better, their RBs are better. Receivers yes, edge rushers yes, interior defensive line Michigan.
Facts, he lost all credibility when he started with he hates Bama
@@webechubbinyou could not be more wrong about everything
@@webechubbinvery dumb take here... Bama recruits in the top 5 every year where Michigan does not. They develop NFL level players better than Michigan the past decade. Saban is better than Harbaugh. The only advantage Harbaugh has is a better NFL record. Harbaugh builds teams to win the big ten not win a national title. This is where the road ends.
How about that facts vs feelings? More like disrespect vs logic.
These two teams played very different offenses. Below are the opposing teams offensive rank
Michigan's defense vs:
East Carolina: 127
UNLV: 46
Bowling Green: 103
Rutgers:120
Nebraska: tied for 116
Minnesota: 122
MSU: 125
Purdue: 67
Penn St: Tied for 59
Maryland: 57
Ohio State: 36
Iowa: 130 (dead last last in yards per ranking)
Alabama defense vs:
MTSU: 58
Texas: 9
USF:16
Ole Miss: 15
Mississippi State: 102
Texas A&M 52
Tennessee: 17
LSU: 1
Kentucky: 98
Chattanooga: FCS opponent
Auburn:89
Georgia: 8
What does this tell us about the defenses of these teams: Michigan while having a strong defense played against pretty lousy offenses except OSU, Maryland, and UNLV. Alabama, on the other hand, played against many top offenses. Draw your own conclusions as to what defense is better prepared in a big match up.
Not a bad point
Man people don't get this. Everywhere Alabama dominates vs michigan.
“They clappin them Wolverine cheeks.” 😂😂😂😂 man I’m dead ROLL FUCKIN TIIIIIIIIIDE
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaand you lost… 😂 humble yourself boy
Blake man Joe just doesn't want to give alabama more credit than he wants to due to his hate for bama lmao.. he knows deep down just about what is gonna happen..
Michigan has played a high school schedule!.
Alabamas football players could not pass a high school math class
This isnt the Bama team of the past, they are even more dangerous because they still havent gottten close to topping out! Will they max out against Michigan? They better pray they dont! Bamas O-line was lifting d- linemen off the ground!!! Milroe had a bit of a down game against Georgia and every time he has a down game he comes back blazing the next! BAMA IS COMING HARD!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
The dangerous because they have something to prove
@@davidcole2337LANK
Auburn lost by more to New Mexico State.lol
Double teaming and destroying d Line all night lol. Can't wait to see them do same thing to michigan.
Here is the biggest thing, Alabamas defense has depth at EVERY position. 3 great linebackers, 3 great corners, 3 great safeties. It’s very much a next guy up defense. Bama will put the corners on an island and not have a single issue, stack the box and harass JJ.
Completely agree. -Blake
@@ruffinoandjoeshow also, really like the polarity of this show. Doesn’t feel like an SEC or BIG10 echo-chamber. This should be a great game, hope it lives up to the hype!
Michigan is the same in defense
The difference is the offense. Bama has a better offense than Michigan. Michigan’s offense line could get destroyed by Bama.
I guess. But wasn't that the case vs Auburn? Texas?
@@trowwzers5057 That... did not happen.
Michigan has played 8 teams that are 99+ ranked in offensive production. are they really top 3?
same goes with PSU and OSU. at least 7 of the worst offensive teams
Michigan plays up and down to their competition. They haven't been a dominate run team this year but when they needed something against OSU they went on a 7 minute drive to finish the game. If UM can't run the ball and JJ is forced to try to throw it all over the yard, they'll lose. I'd argue though that bama will likely not see more variety/looks from a defense then they will against UM. I'm a UM fan and I can't confidently pick UM to win until I actually see it take place. Different level of athlete bama has.
Agree (from a fellow Michigan fan).
I am going to enjoy seeing Blake after the Michigan game
Michigan fan here. Great preview. I think Alabama has a clear advantage (Saban > Harbaugh in post-season) and will probably win. That being said, JJ was injured during the Penn State game and has not been healthy since. Between QB hurt, best OL injured (Zinter), and much better competition (PSU, OSU, Iowa defenses) that's the reason for offensive drop off. Bama wins but I hope it'll be competitive. Go Blue!
Jj is 100% healthy. Michigan has an advantage
It most def should be competitive , im a die hard Bama fan but I think at most this will be a 14 point game maybe 7 or 10
It will be way easier to get to Mccarthy than to stop milroe though which will be the difference
Bama fan, I'm no Harbaugh fan or Michigan fan, but you also have to think that Harbaugh would learn from past mistakes. I'm afraid to call it either way, but if Bama can control the line of scrimmage, win the turnover battle, play better special teams, and McLellan is healthy, they can win this thing. Good luck to all Michigan fans. You all have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
I agree, this is my first time watching and he clearly uses the stats as well as the eye test. When he said Bama will load the box and dare you to test those dangerous DB’s. I still think that there is nothing wrong with hope. I mean we were 4th and 31 I had hope. Michigan cannot beat us we can only beat ourselves!!
Greatly appreciate you watching
Right on brother, all we need is a few seconds to win!! I never lost hope, Roll Tide!
Oh my God Penn State is lights out defensively and probably got two first-round draft picks on the defensive line along with an excellent secondary
It’s not the SEC so this dude has no clue.
Blake, thank you for being unbiased and objective.
Thanks. -Blake
I AM saying it ... Bama in a blowout
If Bama comes in over confident, then I see Michigan winning. I see a repeat of Michigan vs TCU except Michigan beats Bama
If Bama realizes this is a better team than they thought, I got Bama winning for sure. 23-20. Bama is a much more talented team than Michigan
That Michigan defense is really good but the best offense they played this year was #36 ranked OSU. The next highest ranked offense they faced was UNLV.
Alabama's D played 6 of the top 20 ranked offenses in the country.
Gonna be a good game though. I've got Bama 27-20.
40-13 bama.
Michigan has played way better Defenses then Alabama has
Michigan lost this game the second they announced it was Alabama who they are playing. The reaction of the Michigan team was like everyone in that room crapped there pants at the same time.
Bullshit. Actually watch the tape. A very mixed reaction. And personally I think at least some of the reaction was the reaction of many college football fans everywhere: "Oh man, FSU just got screwed on the altar of SEC worship."
The reaction was seeing that FSU was left out you . Y’all keep thinking everyone is scared of Bama yea let them come to the rose bowl and play like they did against Auburn they’ll get wore out .
@@meximike1989Nah man, that was bad energy not the reaction of a team who wants any smoke.. I would feel the same if my team had such a visual reaction to our next opponent.
Do you really believe they’re scared? Honestly? They’ve been playing for National Championship all year, do you honestly think they didn’t expect to play a team laden with 5 stars to win it all? Cmon man this is a dumb take. Plus, this Bama team is nowhere near their teams of the past.
@@allks88 not at all getting snubbed why the committee robbed Florida state of there opportunity to win something . Remember whenever Cardale Jones was 3rd string for ohio state and they beat Bama and won the national championship. It’s a team effort not a political efforts which this sport has turned into. Bama should have never gotten in but oh well we gotta beat them next .
Bama is gonna roll. What a time to be a Tide fan. From the Shula daysto now. Its been a hell of a ride
Man don’t forget francione lol Whew!
Very well could
You're absolutely correct, you're gonna roll straight home and you're correct once again. It has been a good year for you guys. Great job getting to this point. But stick a fork in yourself, ur done. GO BLUE !!!
Blake - Saban will call your remarks as "rat-poison" 🐀🏴☠
Statistically on the defense side this is gonna be the best defense Alabama is gonna face
Facts
Michigan's best passing game happened after the scandal came out at MSU, and had a good game against Purdue. Michigan's offensive product went down because they played the 4 toughest teams on their schedule in a row
Exactly
And the 4 teams was ??
@@ewcclothing1135Penn state, Maryland, osu, and Iowa were literally the 4 toughest teams Michigan played the year and 3 of those 4 teams have top 5 defenses
@@jalencampbell718the only win that is valid is ohio state and penn state……my thing with michigan is they haven’t been challenged yet so their statistics are inflated
@@ltkben6690 the fact that michigan "hasn't been challenged" kinda balances the offensive numbers. I think week 10 was the first game the starters played 4 quarters and michigan is known for being conservative when they have a nice lead in the 2nd half.
The dude on the left is not mentioning that AFTER the sign stealing scandal broke and all the teams changed up their signs, that Michigan beat MSU 49-0, then they had the hardest schedule in the country against Penn state #9, Maryland and Ohio state #2. And they won all three games. Of course their offensive efficiency was going to go down then compared to the cup cake teams they beat earlier in the year. Smh.
Michigan had a cupcake schedule
@@dre7147That might be arguably true until November and December when Michigan beat #7 Penn State, #2 Ohio State, #16 Iowa, and a decent Maryland team.
This Ruffino guy knows his stuff
Then why doesn't he know that JJ has been playing hurt since 1st half of the Penn State game?
@@freeclimb5487 obviously not hurt enough to keep him out.
@ts4426 Nope, but hurt enough to alter how he plays and affects the game. Michigan can win in many ways.
@@freeclimb5487 Who cares Milroe gets no excuses.
@dre7147 Point being, it's a false narrative. Conflating the sign bullshit with lack of performance when it is because he's playing injured. It's not excuses it's just facts.
Joe has been wrong on pretty much every Bama game this year. I was confident until he gave us the edge. 😢
Oh no he did?! I always check the comments on football videos before I watch so I know what to expect/listen for- he gave us the edge?! Crap, redo the video!! Pick Michigan!!
Blake ain’t lying… Joe has definitely been smoking crack, ALL SEASON. How many times is he gonna be wrong about a game 😂😂
So about that
Did not see how many LB Georgia rotated in ? They were changing them all night
They were not
Is this where all the SEC fans like to come and juice each other off? My goodness I have not seen a bigger scoreboard watcher than this Blake guy. Joe, you are a very smart and well spoken person and I hope you branch off and get your own show my dude.
Michigan has to play a balanced offense. Cornelelis Johnson is an excellent receiver. Plays big in big games
hes such an underrated receiver. Whenever he gets targeted he's going to make a play.
Bama will win. What r we talking about here.
lol, ok guy. Lotta confidence for a team who barely won half its games
@@Mmmmmk247idk Saban with near a month to prepare is scarier than Harbaugh who is 1-7 in bowls. Wouldn't be surprised if Michigan gets blown out
@@JayJay-ku8gp Saban is the greatest college coach of all time but he’s defeatable. We’ll see what happens
I agree with the gentleman is for Bama. They have not seen a Defense like that and I doubt very seriously gonna be able to do much with it. It’s Bam all the way like it or not to me. They are the top dog to be at number four and probably the one that nobody wants to face
Bama doesn’t scare anyone, just stop
If you are the so called top dog, then everybody wants you. Knuckle head
What offense outside of OSU has Michigan played?
Yeah because 147 yards against Iowa is earth shattering.
@@ruffinoandjoeshow First pf all, Michigan had 219 yards against Iowa. Secondly, everyone that follows college football knew that once Michigan scored 10 points the game was over. They didn't need nor did they try to get cute and rack up style points. They knew they had the game in hand at 10-0 and for all intent and purposes sat on the ball the rest of the game.
JJ didn't play in the 4th quarter until Maryland on Nov 14th. Hard to compare QB stats.
BS lol
@@187bigtim JJ didn't play in the second half in quite a few games. And this is not pointed out. These guys don't know shit about Michigan. This is a terrible preview.
It was games that Jalen Milroe also sat out at the half just search it up lol
@@dre7147no where near the amount of jj
@@187bigtimcheck the games
bama faced a good run offense in tennessee
But this run offense is different. They don’t rely on big plays. They will chip you with 3-5yds a carry and waste ton of clock
I don’t see JJ having a very good game passing because the WRs will have difficulty getting separation. Plus, Michigan’s o-line isn’t good at pass blocking. I have Bama winning by 3
@@trowwzers5057Georgia has way better athletes than Michigan and they held the to 75 yards. First time that’s been done since 2021.
Can joe please tell me when has nick lost after a month of prep and film on players.... only reason ohio st. Beat bama in 14 because it was only one game to film on the qb..... everybody else gets it in the simis
Giving Nick a month is unfair.
If both teams play to their top level who wins? I think it’s Bama for sure.
Number 1 team picks venue. No way Michigan chooses the south.
Understanding what UM is doing is very tricky. I'm a buckeye fan & at no point did I feel the game was out of their control. Even when we were close to tying it. Weirdest team I ever watched in 20years. Everyone plays. Not 1 Michigan player is in the Portal another crazy thing with them. We got like 6 already. Including my Cousin Julian Fleming. Just Bizarre stuff...They probe find the weakness then keep poking their fingers in the same spot till it starts to Bleed. Their is some kind of weird clock management thing they do also. Reminds me of Bama running the wishbone.
As a Michigan fan you summed it up perfectly. If casuals look at the roster there are not many standouts but they all play as one unit with the same goal. Also there is a ton of NFL talent on the roster.
You think that strategy will work against a team that loves playing that type of offense?
Think about how Bama plays in the post season compared to regular season.
Saban emphasizes on finishing.
If Bama's dbs didn't drop 4 pics their would be a different conversation about this game.
Bama just beat a more talented, bigger, faster and better coahed team in uga and somehow Michigan is gonna dominate
Joe , Joe , Joe you need to come spend a few Saturdays in stadiums in Athens , Baton Rouge , Tuscaloosa , Knoxville , Oxford and catch a CLUE.
We will get him to the South lmao
When was the last time Michigan beat Alabama?
Not recently but they don't play enough for that to be a thing right?
Go rewatch Bama vs GA. Bama played two high safeties damn near all game and stopped the run.
Georgia only had 78 yards rushing. Lowest in 29 games lol. That's a statement.
Per PFF. They had two high safeties 2% of the game lol
Alabama quarterback hold the football for like 4 seconds Michigan have the best pass rush in the country
What no he doesn't and Bama QB is also fast as heck and JJ does the same. He isn't some elite QB 😂 and Milroe is a first year starter
Bama pass rush is better. Haven’t you been watching football
Lsu have a great group of receivers
Yes I forgot Alabama's all world at everything I don't even know how they lost to Texas I don't even know how they had a close game with auburn I mean they shouldn't have had a three-point game against Arkansas I don't know how Texas A&M only lost by four we shouldn't even play the game we should just give Alabama the championship every year
@@brianjones5459 Alabama has won 6 national championships recently 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2020
When did michigan win natty last. I'll wait. Also choking to georgia and tcu. Plus Mccarthy has bad ankle and o line has injuries. You're just tossing all that out and forgetting particular detail of your own teams issues.
It’s very simple. If Alabama can play split safeties and stop the run Michigan will be in trouble. That’s what Saban prefers to do. If you can’t get Alabama out of that you’re in deep shit. It’s going to be hard for Michigan to do that due to their deficiencies in the passing game.
Your drunk right?
"they clappin' them Wolverine checks" podcast gold!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks lol
If JJ is healthy and Alabama makes the mistake of thinking he can’t throw, then they will learn what OSU learned last year. Again, I see the game being Alabama dline v Michigan’s oline. If Alabama dominates that match up then they win. If they don’t, then Michigan wins.
Bad assessment osu secondary was their Achilles last busted coverages wr's were wide open wasn't the case this year and Bama secondary is legit.
Mich oline isn't as good as it was 2yrs straight OT issues
@@ammielcoats9762bama secondary gave up big plays this year as well. Just watched a few games also busted coverage as well.
@THSLast oh both teams have some flaws but Bama played better offenses this year especially against lsu,ole miss,texas and Georgia. Those big plays from secondary were mostly early in the season before they started to figure it out.
@@ammielcoats9762 false they gave up at least 3 huge plays to auburn who had a transfer from state playing at QB and the 67 offense in efficiency.
The last three games, Michigan has beaten teams with #1 defense (Penn State), #3 defense (osu) and #7 defense (Iowa) and they scored plenty of points. I’m sure they are capable of beating the team with the #17 defense…Remember playoff games are about defense…..
The “ranked” defense stat is a joke. Alabama has played 6 offenses in the top 40. Michigan has played 1. Penn state played 2.
I take those ncaa stat charts with a grain of salt. They have teams like Troy and other G5 teams ahead of Bama and Georgia in the ncaa rankings. What I’d look at is compare how Bama and Michigan did against each other’s matchups. I think Bama is more battle tested overall, especially up front. And I feel Jalen Milroe is just a little more tested than McCarthy
@@jacobzoeller5941 Bama is more battle tested? Are you joking? Did you see what Michigan did to the #1 defense at Penn State? They ran for over 250 yds….
@@mikeses4392one thing u should consider when thinking of this is yes their defense is solid but their offense was atrocious. If ur own defense doesn't have to play as well or ur not worried about the other team scoring much it changes the play calling.
Think of announcers in a game where they say "they are gonna punt here and put trust in their defense that has been playing good". Then think about when a team with really good run play but not so great passing play gets behind in a game by two scores; at a certain point late in the game they can't run the ball and expect to move down the field quick enough bc they need quicker scores. If they aren't good at passing they end up going three and out or only barely moving the ball. This happens alot.
Think back to 2021 when it was Bama vs UGA. Bama couldn't run the ball well against their defense. We need to pass the ball but they had two WR out with injury. Bc Bama couldn't stretch the field it changed the play calling, and while Bama was leading midway in the fourth, UGA went all out at pressuring Bama's QB and won by two scores bc they knew they could stuff the run and didn't have worry about Williams stretching the field.
Look at LSU, they had a solid run game, but that was with Daniels being able to stretch a front seven sideline to sideline, same thing Milroe has been doing. Bama has only recently starting smashing in the run game, but their run is better when Milroe adds a new dimension to it. It was evident in the UGA game this year. In the second half when Bama needed to convert third downs to extend the drive to keep uga from getting the ball back they used Milroe and his legs on some designed runs. These are called X factors.
Penn St had no offense to worry about. Heck I remember back when Bama was sorry as hell they had solid defenses, but the offense couldn't sustain drives, and the defense had to play about 40 minutes of the game and this eventually wears them down. Good teams play complimentary football which is why Harbaugh wants to run the ball and wants to stop the run. If a team can do these effectively they are going to have a ton of success already. Then add in a passing game that doesn't commit turnovers and a team that plays without committing penalties and u have a good team. Discipline is key for that. Heck Bama used to do the same thing when Saban came there. Play disciplined, mistake free football so we don't beat ourselves.
It will be a close match up. If Bama can convert third downs and connect on Milroe throwing deep it could get ugly. Conversely, if Bama makes mistakes by throwing picks or losing fumbles, forcing them to play from behind, it could get ugly in Michigan's favor.
@@mikeses4392 Amazing how so many "experts" don't see Alabama's dominance. Bama's defense just dominated the #1 offense in the nation. PERIOD
Harabughs bowl prep is legendary bad. Hopefully he does something different this year and Michigan comes out like they have been all year
Indeed
This Joe guy is giving me Kip from Napoleon Dynamite vibes🤣
ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE ALL DAY EVERYDAY
Dude is acting like Alabama won on a Hail Mary.
They did
Thats literally how they beat Auburn lol what
Like I knew I was going to hear nothing about Auburn running it down Alabama throat
Yeah, I think the Saban boost is real, but to suggest that JJ hasn't been good because of "signs" is silly. They didn't have signs in the MSU game and... and he threw for 287 and 4tds. Vs. Purdue, he had 335 yds. It's not the lack of signs, it's the better D's and, even more clearly, it's his ankle injury and that the game plans aren't asking him to do much.
It is very much real
One point you guys missed was that Michigan chews clock
Corum gets those 3-5yds a carry to chew clock. They will waste 6-12 minutes per possession and barely give the opposing offense a chance to play.
I have a feeling that Bama will go into this game over confident and it will cause them to lose in a very close game
Michigan did the same thing against a mediocre TCU team last year and you saw what happened
Bama has to prepare and not be cocky, otherwise, they will lose
You can't chew clock if Bama's DL is getting pressure on JJ and forcing sacks. This approach won't work with bama like it did with osu
Bama dB outside pressuring, sacks, knock downs and tackling run backs is best in ncaa. Good luck with that approach. You truly don't watch football to make that statement. Lol
Georgia only had 78 yards rushing all night against Bama.
@@dakodagayne9334 you forgot to mention Michigan’s o-line is injured too. JJ will take a lot of sacks
@@trowwzers5057 100% facts
Yo Dakoda. Yur team not even one of da top tin in da USA. @@dakodagayne9334

OMG THEYRE TOP 5 RUSHING DEFENSE..... FALSE
OMG THEYRE TOP 5 RUSHING DEFENSE..... FALSE
Joe! Please don't take this dude's incorrect statements. Just come back with true statements. Cause that guy is gonna bury himself with absolute lies.
Bama is just better than y'all in all positions
@dre7147 let’s compare every position then Michigan has the superior and deeper lines, the better QB and RBs. And Michigan’s receivers, LBs and secondary are good too and very deep too.
Joe looks crazy he said Georgia was going to beat Alabama and they didn’t stand a chance to beat Georgia 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and look what happened 😂😂😂😂😂
As a Bama fan I can’t wait to come back and comment trolling 😂
As I am doing now as a Michigan fan😂
@@MD-dh3sv lol I deserve it
Michigan has played 6 (not 3) games since signgate broke. They've won all 6. The first two of those six had Michigan scoring 49 and then 41 pts. The last 4 of those 6 games were predicted even at preseason to be their toughest games: two top-10 teams, a decent Maryland team sandwiched between those two top-tenners, and then the conference championship game against the #16 team.
We all knew from the get-go that Michigan's "real" season would start in November. So the fact that Michigan didn't blow out its last 4 opponents was never going to be a surprise...signgate or not. And, of course, Alabama hasn't blown everybody out after losing to Texas---just 2 weeks ago they needed a miracle play-for-the-ages to survive an unranked Auburn.
All that being said, Alabama recruits at a significantly higher level than Michigan. So I ain't sayin' Michigan gonna win.
And the last 4 have looked like dookie
@@ruffinoandjoeshow Compare the rankings of Michigan's last 4 opponents to those of Bama's last 4 opponents. And "dookie"?---lol...needing a 4th & 31 conversion to beat a dookie Auburn team is by far the biggest dookie of those last 4 games. Please understand: Bama has more talent and I'd bet on them were I not a Michigan fan...so no disrespect here.
Bama was dookie yesterday. Michigan still hasn't played anybody.
@@ruffinoandjoeshowThat last play y'all called was DEFINITELY dookie. 😆
Personally, as a Michigan fan I prefer to be the underdog. It is what we call motivation. Bad mouth the Wolverines all you want. If you're lucky you might earn a quote on the wall of the dressing room.
In this case, being an underdog won’t pay off for Michigan. Bama by 21 at least.
“Michigan hasn’t had the dominant run game we expected”. Except that time they ran the ball 30 straight times right at the team with the #1 total defense in the country and were unstoppable. Bamas secondary is elite but Michigan plays a frustrating game. Run for 4… run for 4, tight end for 8. Repeat. They can eat a lot of clock and start to squeeze you
Don’t forget we ate up 8 mins against OSU to close that game up and put the pressure on OSU offense with less than a min
@@Mmmmmk247explain how you run the ball and chew clock if their DL imposes their will against your OL? I just think Michigan is doomed in this match up. Penn state had chop Robinson who is probably the best DL men Michigan has faced... Dallas Turner is different animal. He has the most QB pressures, hits, and high in sacks which is bad for a Michigan OL that's banged up. If Bama DL imposes their will and gets to JJ.... it's a wrap
Why would Michigan choose to play in Louisiana (close to Alabama) instead of the Rose Bowl out in California?
Fans would travel….. massively.
It's closer lol. You're still a flight away. Not much changes from Michigan. New Orleans is 1000 miles. LA is 2200
Bama will have all of its injured players healthy by the time the Rose Bowl . I am a die hard Bama fan and hoping for a good game. Washington and Texas should also be a good one. The best might be Georgia playing FSU to prove the committee wrong with whoever wins that one. Georgia will probably blow them off the map.
Michigan has 23 players expected to be drafted this year.... But they suck.
There's only 11 starters on offense and 11 starters on defense. So you expect Michigan's entire starting lineup plus someone on ST to be drafted to the NFL this year? Georgia's 2021 team holds the record for most number of players draft in a single year... at 15.
@@abovehyperionfilmswow pull for the enemy huh? If Ga won and Bama was out....I would be pulling for Ga
The reason for the locations is because Michigan is the #1 team in the country and through the decades the Rose Bowl has been the ultimate destination for Big 10 teams. Yes the same is true for Washington and PAC 12 teams but between the two Michigan has the higher ranking. And the two bowl sites that were chosen were determined long ago.
Put Michigan in the SEC and let's see what their record would be at the year's end.
They would easily have a loss. If not two
All i am gonna say Michigan better keep up in that first half ....good luck n rolltide..
Keep up with what? Michigan has the #1 scoring Defense #5 Rushing defense #6 passing defense they are +16 in turnover ratio
@@michaelc.sobczyk9100all them stats don't mean shit once they're on the field Georgia thought the same shit but y'all keep bringing up stats see what's still gonna happen
@@Hustle_256I’d rather rely on what their stats are than just start spewing what bullshit comes to my mind first much like your comment
Michigan better keep up….pfft
Bama had trouble with Ark and Auburn so keep talking
@@michaelc.sobczyk9100 Michigan had trouble also in the soft ass weak conference Michigan is in trouble I'll come back to this comment and you will be nowhere to be found 🗑🗑🗑🤡🤡🤡🤡 Michigan hasn't won shit since the 90's bama runs this shit but keep thinking games from the past matters that's what all the Georgia fans was saying also can't wait till bama whipes the floor with garbage ass Michigan
@@michaelc.sobczyk9100if we’re being honest the only reason michigan has those great stats is because of the teams they play not just because they are dominant. and ur saying bama barely beat auburn and arkansas but bama beat the number 1 offensive team in lsu and just beat the number one team in the country sooo…
Since they sign stealing they've taken a step back lol it also happened to be Penn st, Ohio St, Iowa with a solid defense. Their unwillingness to throw deep, their unwillingness to call RB screens for easy yards, JJ banged up and the O line lost their best player the offense just isn't going well. Going to take a some different play calls and great execution to win this game. Michigan never has the weapons on the outside and when they rarely do like Nico Collins the rest of the team isn't up there. To not be able to have 1 go to wr every season is sad at Michigan. Roman's really good but small and they don't run many deep routes with him anymore. They needed to get Morgan and Clemons involved earlier in the year. But we will see I hope for the best expect another L lol. Defensive turnovers Will be a must. Athleticism is always an issue vs these teams
If you don’t have weapons on the outside to threaten or hurt bama down the field it’s game over. Bama has an elite backfield. They will put their corners on islands and load the box to stop to stop the run game. Not looking good for Michigan just like the last 2 times they’ve played in recent memory.
Bamas backfield is their worst part of their defense? They got torched by good passing teams. If Ladd and Brockl werent hurt yall probably lose to UGA as well. relax@@WestBeachFLboy
Never heard this Blake guy talk before, but did this guy only watch one Alabama game this year? Did he not see them need an absolute prayer to beat a terrible Auburn team just one week earlier?
You know he didn't. And you know you don't believe that
Based on how he’s describing what I view as a good but not great Alabama team, you would think they would have dominated everyone they played this year. And he very clearly hasn’t watched more than a handful of Michigan highlights.
Their last drive against Ohio State was 7 minutes and 49 seconds. To close the game out!
Michigan clearly well dominate Alabama. there is no roll tide this year in the ballgame.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wrong
The sign stealing bs has to stop. Their passing game couldn’t possibly be affected by playing 3 of the top 5 defenses, or jj being injured.
Or the head coach who is an ex nfl Qb not being there
Dude
You never bet against Nick Saban
the teams they played after the allegations were top defenses... worth noting.
With trash QBs
And no Jim Harbaugh
@@trowwzers5057raiders made the playoffs with an intern head coach buddy all Michigan does is run the football anyways can’t be that hard to call plays
@@anthonygulic9586 has no correlation, he was referring to michigan’s offense since the allegations.
@@mikeycash8388ok let’s just run the ball guys
Michigan is a team who plays in a phone booth and that type of team is food for Alabama. Alabama's defense is faster than any team Michigan has played. Look at the putrid offenses Michigan faced this season. BTW Alabama didnt play their A game vs Georgia and you know Saban is going to challenge his team physically. ROLL TIDE!
Bingo, Michigan doesn’t match up well with bama, because in a lot of ways they are the same style, except bama has much better weapons on the outside to push the ball down the field and Milroe throws one of the best deep balls in the country, so they will not be able to stack the box like bama will against a mostly one dimensional Michigan team.
People sleep on Alabama being talented and dynamic everywhere lol. I can't wait to watch them pick apart michigan.
As far as the Rose Bowl goes, Michigan is going to get trounced. They have played no team this season anywhere close to Alabama's caliber. Ohio State fans will be mad at that but I am sorry the BIG 10 is weak. Michigan is going to have the "Deer in the Headlights" look as they will be unprepared for the reality of the strength and speed on Bama's team. Alabama - 42 vs Michigan 10 bank it .,. it is not going to be pretty.
Ok
Ooohhh....I don't think it will that much of a blowout, for either team. Michigan does have good players and a good coach. Yes, they played a softer schedule, but I think they'll give us a fight. I think 1st half is close but Bama dominates the second half (as we've done pretty much all year). Halftime I got 17-14 Michigan, 35-20 Bama at the end. Good luck Michigan, looking forward to playing yall. Roll Tide Roll!!
U do know sec is down this year right
Wrong
@@tcattorney1080No, they are incapable of recognizing that.
Joe…..Blake gave you the business LMAOOOO!!!!
Dang lol. -Blake
I'll give them credit, Alabama is a top 3 team we will play all year
There ya go
Michigan is not ready for bama and it will show when it comes to running the ball
Ok
When Michigan beats bama all these hypocrites gonna change their tune and say bama wasn’t that good anyway.
They haven’t won shit so stop capping
I'm keeping receipts. When bama wins I need you to come back to this comment aite
@@michaelhall1545 likewise my friend
"I think you're smoking crack" LOL
Hahahahaha
Summary from a Bama guy.
The only way you can stop Milroe is to push our OL backward into Milroe. I’m not sure Michigan can do it but I’m sure it is possible? At the first of the year our OL sucked but they have improved by leaps and bounds and they are playing lights out. Our LB’s & DB’s are elite. If we are in the correct Defensive package we will be able to limit the Michigan running game as our defense is very good. Not worried at all about the air game. Michigan can find success with passes to our middle but we will shut down most everything else. Michigan will gain in the neighborhood of 275-300 yards total.
My Guess ?
Bama -31 Michigan-17
You know neither one of them are Bama guys right? Hahahaha
Michigan going to take this by 10 unless the refs come up huge for bama. Later is very likely.
Bucks had a better team than Xichigan unfortunately we didnt have the superior coaching I got bama winning 28-17
Don't make them comments Michigan plays as a team your coach sucks your QB sucks and your team is soft
Joe is going to weep. Hard! LoL 😂
And Joe is not lying we have the deepest dl and lbs not hearing it
Nobody never pay attention to our two tight ends against Iowa Loveland dropped a touchdown that would have been like 70 yards
10-0 at the half vs Iowa ?
Alabama knows that's Michigans passing game for the most part.
Alabama will pick off McCarthy 2 times at the very least.
As far as the score not sure have to think about it.
@@user-dw2jq3tb1sthat's where game will be dominated. With interceptions on defense and chewing clock extending plays on offense. I don't think people realize how dynamic Alabama truly is.
Let's see.
Coaching, saban vs Harbaugh
Bama
Is Sarkisian a better coach than Saban?
Good luck Michigan. I think your spy should be allowed in this game. Michigan and Spy vs Alabama and Refs. Would make it a little more balanced
A greed
Sorry to tell you but why pass when u can win by running Hofmann don’t force the pass game just to let u know
What happens if that doesn’t work?
I'm fired up baby, let's do the damn thing! - Go Blue!!!
You should be
The guy on the right needs to become a weatherman lol 😂
That's a bit harsh lol
Not sure he could predict the weather either.
You don't have to agree with Alabama being better, just pass the Trophy 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Well they have not won anything yet.
@@ruffinoandjoeshow oh wow you're the one fan that believes that....we shouldn't even have to play this game...
I predict 57t o 6. Alabama.... maybe a mercy touchdown in the fourth
I got 35 13 bama
Bama is 31 in rushing defense. Osu and penn state is top 5
Stats don't mean nothing when the game is played on the field Alabama is playing bully ball and Michigan is fixing to find out
I don't think stats are always a way to determine results. It helps in some areas but there are factors that modify them. Michigan played a lot of bad offenses and Bama faced the soon to the Heisman QB. That's a huge difference in competition. I think Michigan is going to get dominated because the mismatch in the trenches and Bama secondary
