GDT: Michigan at Rutgers 10/4/2014

The game starts in about 30 minutes on the BTN. Not too much else to say.

[T&P_Fan 386]

FG on the opening drive. Nice to get points right away. Suspect call on 3rd and short. Can't rely on the OL to create space.

[T&P_Fan 386]

Tie game, and michigan is punting now.

[thefunk 132]

could this BTN announcer yell any louder for Rutgers? He is seriously SCREAMING into the microphone with every positive play for the knights.

[Deleterious 2,129]

Butt only catches the hard ones I guess.

[T&P_Fan 386]

Good drive by Michigan there. Gardner looks calm. 10-6 UM.

[Truth 10]

Good drive by Michigan there. Gardner looks calm. 10-6 UM.

He looks nothing like the guy who started 4 games this season. Like you said, he looks calm and in command. His throws are much better.

[thefunk 132]

down two at half. embarrassing.

[pyrotigers 430]

I really feel bad for Gardner. He's just getting buried every play and they have no run game. It was only a matter of time for an interception.

I don't know how this program can preach toughness and old fashioned football and so on and have had outright horrendous o-line play every single year of Hoke's tenure.

That alone seems reason enough to fire him.

[Gehringer_2 2,535]

total offensive ineptitude by both teams in the 2nd half. M can't deal with the blitz at all. It's like they've don't have a screen, draw, trap or rollout in the playbook.....

and then the INT.

I don't think Michigan has a single player on the team that can block. Maybe they should just have every WR run a streak pattern and have Gardner bomb it immediately like when I'm playing Madden.

[Deleterious 2,129]

4 DB's within a 10 yard radius of that pass. Not one of the covering the WR.

[pyrotigers 430]

How does such an obviously bad call not get automatically reviewed

[pyrotigers 430]

Well, and somehow it gets confirmed.

I guess the next time a receiver catches the ball, takes two steps, and dives forward it will be an incomplete catch and not a fumble

edit: Did Hoke actually lose his last TWO timeouts on that one play? What a coach

And now a 56 yard FG attempt

[ROMAD1 2,477]

ugh...why wasn't that an NCAA catch? I would think maybe not an NFL catch...but sheesh

[pyrotigers 430]

lol can we just fire all of these morons before the night is over

[bluefan75 11]

That is ridiculous. If there was a protest system like in baseball.....

I'm not saying they played well enough to win this game or not, but to have the game potentially swing on a call like that.....

[Kamakzie 44]

Who didn't see that one coming

[pyrotigers 430]

I can't even comprehend attempting a FIFTY SIX YARD FIELD GOAL against a team known for blocking a ton of kicks with a kicker who has shown zero reliability in his entire career

[JayVee 10]

Does Michigan offer scholarships to kickers? It seems like they should.

[pyrotigers 430]

Does Michigan offer scholarships to kickers? It seems like they should.

Well yes, because the kicker should definitely have buried that 56 yard kick against a team that has blocked 12 kicks in the last 3 seasons.

We should offer a scholarship to a coach

[ROMAD1 2,477]

Does Michigan offer scholarships to kickers? It seems like they should.

Michigan has an aggressive affirmative recruiting program for differently abled kickers.

[stanpapi 376]

Would not be shocked if he's fired tomorrow.

[T&P_Fan 386]

3-9 in their last 12. Says it all.

[JayVee 10]

Would not be shocked if he's fired tomorrow.

which he?
