Football Michigan defeats Penn State, 24-15

I agree with the talented kids part and Allar.
Sometimes the other guy is just better than you.
If our regular plays worked consistently we wouldn’t run trick plays.
The 2 pt garbage just seems to be a loser mentality.
There’s a difference between a calculated play you feel should work based on an observed weakness and a guessed at sloppy try.
CJF can be recruiting coordinator, that is his ceiling.
I don't expect OSU to win that game. Their defense will keep it close but McCord is not elite and their running game is inconsistent.
Ugh...........I really hate michigan
If they play like they did against Indiana after the Ohio State loss you could be right.
PSU needed a TO. A score on special teams or by the defense but that didn't happen.
Well at least I don’t get mad after games like this anymore. It’s been a lonnnnng time since I had any expectation we win these.
I think OSU will be the slight underdog in AA but I really like that OSU defense this year - probably their best in a decade.
No chance. We are what we are. Not good enough to beat great teams but way too good to lose to the 10 cupcakes on the schedule. 3rd in the East.
Not banging on him - it's only his first year starting, but Drew has to play lightyears better than that if we're going to win that type of game. He had a really bad game - even on the flair passes, he was so inaccurate that the receivers had to go to great efforts just to catch the ball, had zero momentum in the direction the play was supposed to go and the defense had tons of time to adjust to what is supposed to be a "quick hitter".
Did I miss all of our easy swing passes to backs in order to get Allar in a rhythm?
Or a screen pass this season that actually either was tried or worked? As bad as many JVP offenses were, we could dump screen passes until the cows came home most seasons. Guess that is not enough of a trick play for this staff.

We’ll see. Feels like a let down opportunity against a Rutgers team that’s riding a great season (for them).
And to think, Sandy extended this crap for 10 years and almost lost Cael.
how many times has franklin done this same dumb thing???
Way too many bubble screens that rarely work without a blocker. In my memory they haven't worked since Bobby Engram who could make the first defender miss.
Early in the season Drew demonstrated that he could make every throw, and do it accurately. Touch throws and accurate bullets.
This is now a mental problem and we have seen it before at PSU. This offense in particular looks like a Chinese fire drill. What is the common denominator? What causes a prospect to get worse AFTER they come to the table?
I don’t know if Diaz is the answer, but at some point someone needs to take the keys away from Franklin.
As for recruiting for the past ten years, I'd say it is Ohio State >> Penn State > Michigan.
The staff definitely broke him mentally. You can see that on even simple bubble screens. He's in his head terrified of turning the ball over.
At this point it may be best if Michigan turns in evidence Penn State was stealing signs so that Franklin could be suspended for several games.
For those of you younger PSU fans. This program was a very competitive program with the elite programs in college football in the distant past. Teams used to have to play their best to beat us. Our QBs were not four and five stars but were mear game managers. We played sound fundamental football had great RB and the coaches seldom made bad decision when managing a game. JF has done what sanctions couldn’t. He has made this program irrelevant on the national stage. I’ve never seen a worse offense in blue and white. I long for the good old days.
I was thinking the same. It’s been a long time since we played these type games where you really looked forward to it and Penn State played really well.
The drop off is huge but people have become used to it and just make excuses now.
Hackenberg had great promise his first year but by the time he left, they had him a basket case
