Weaslespit Champion Author Cincinnati Posts:8,964 Points:314,120 Joined:Sep 2008	Message Posted: Mar 4, 2013 4:03:11 PM Ignore Weaslespit Report Abuse Over the last five seasons, Michigan has ranked as one of the worst teams in the Big Ten at rushing the passer, sitting just ninth among the league's 12 teams in accumulating 121 quarterback takedowns. This has been painfully obvious since RR took control of the team. You rarely see sacks in key situations, nor even pressure on long 3rd downs. This has certainly opened the Secondary up for missed coverages as pass plays develop. Take note Carr haters; "Michigan's five-year haul of 121 represented a significant drop from the previous five years, when U-M had 151 sacks from 2003-07, including a high of 42 in 2006."

D was solid and held as long as it could. I have to wonder why Gardner did play at QB when it was apparent that Bellomy wasn't up to the challenge. Guess it has been too long since he took any snaps at the position?

maxcap59 Champion Author Texas Posts:2,787 Points:596,170 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Oct 7, 2012 11:01:16 AM Ignore maxcap59 Report Abuse I think Michigan is probably the most likely to win the Legends, at this point. Nebraska's vaunted defense is a mess. Sparty's offense doesn't show up most of the time. NW is a poser. Their 5-0 start was all vs. bad teams with no more than two wins (BC loses to Army yesterday? Ouch!). And the first decent team they play, they collapse. Minnesota looked good until Marquise went down. They'll probably wind up near the middle without him. And who knows what's going on with Iowa? They're a disaster right now. I thought Purdue was going to be a close game yesterday, but Michigan showed up to play, no doubt. If we can keep that type of play, and that mindset each week, I can see the only real challenges being Nebraska and osu. Right now, we're in the driver's seat in the Legends. Before the season, I picked Michigan and Purdue in the B1G Championship. I'm still sticking with that.

Weaslespit Champion Author Cincinnati Posts:8,964 Points:314,120 Joined:Sep 2008	Message Posted: Sep 24, 2012 4:21:39 PM Ignore Weaslespit Report Abuse ND is overrated, they have offense issues just like UM/MSU and their secondary will be exposed by a team that has an actual passing QB (unlike UM and apparently MSU). Their defensive front 7 are solid. ND didn't win as much as UM lost that one. The first half was ugly for both squads... I was reminded of the '08 game against ND where UM lost by fumbling on Special Teams twice on their own Goal Line; another ugly game by both teams.

Michigan has no running game--Denard has to carry that part of the game. It was one thing to look bad defensivley against Alabama, and quite another to look so porous against the Air Force. I have expected more from a much improved defense from last year, but the improvement does not seem to have yet appeared.(81st in total defense) A patsy game this week before we see if we can beat a competent Notre Dame team. Still hoping for 8-4 at the worst. Go Blue!!

Will just monitor them the rest of the year to see if they can go 8-4. I certainly expected more from their defense, but they still aren't very good. While I thought the return to prominence could happen this year, it now looks like we are two seasons removed from that.
