On the big picture, if someone had told you that Auburn would be atrocious and might only win 4 games this years, I think everyone would have predicted 5-1 or 4-2 at worst.

Auburn isn't atrocious. They aren't a great team, but certainly have some talented guys. They should have beaten LSU. They obviously play in a tough division. Probably a 5 or 6 win team, but I'm not sure that's all that different than predicted at the beginning of the year.
The score was 41-17 and rapidly going in the wrong direction.
Agreed, but it could just as easily been 24-24 with it going in the right direction. That's why the play the games. People are overreacting to this loss in an absurd fashion.
Sorry, I planned to stay out of a food fight here, but that is just a dumb comment on how the game was going.
The yardage, the momentum, the line of scrimmage on both offense and defense -- all decidedly in favor of Michigan. It was close on the scoreboard for a while due to some surprising plays but the trend of the game was not close.
Again, it's the scoreboard that matters.
Recall the 1986 championship game against Miami (perhaps you are too young?). Miami dominated that game except for on the scoreboard.
Wind did no favors for the passing game but PSU got butt kicked again by michigan.Not even close.Coach jf needs to figure out how to play after a bye week.
It was evident very early on that UM was in control of every aspect of the game. The only reason it was close in scoring was due to UM gifting a pick. Couldn't force a punt the entire game, that in itself is an indication of the total dominance UM imposed.
As nearly everyone is saying...he needs to stop leaving town to recruit and coach up his team during bye weeks. 9 years, perhaps he will learn next year...lol
And they never punted. Probably broke a sweat in anger when they realized that they let PSU hang around a bit despite completely dominating them.
Then put the pedal to the metal and buried us. One of the most dominating performances I have seen between 2 teams with equivalent talent….in a long, long time.
Embarrassing to the stalwarts of our storied program.
Time to give someone else a bite at the apple. 9 years is long enough.
How many people here or anywhere are not calling this what it is…a thorough AW.
You seem to be a lone cry in the woods.
You obviously didn't watch that game. The offense scored 10 pts and struggled to have any consistency. There was no "just as easily" anything for PSU in that game.
No. No, it could not just as easily have been 24-24.
That is like stating "Auburn could just as easily have beaten Penn State".
Fans shouldn't give up on the Nitts, but neither game was decided by a couple of lucky bounces.
There is no comparison. UM would have beat us 50-3 except for a couple of fluke plays.
Good lord go away it's over. Better worry about Illinois then Ohio State. Go over to their boards.
I can worry about Illinois and OSU wherever I post.
Instead of replying to me, maybe you should worry about Minnesota and OSU.
The last thing we're going to do is worry about football. There are more important things in life, so get lost and stop hassling us!
They are calling it root beer? This is a nonsensical post.
Correct and very good in the open field.
There was another play where JJ McCarthy kept the ball and was headed toward the end zone with the score 6-0. Michigan had two blockers for one guy and he's gone and the DB, J. Brown #16 beat both blockers, splitting them and making the tackle limiting the gain to a 1st down and roughly a 10 yard gain.
It was a helluva play and one that was overlooked, especially with how the game ended up.
I don't know, that's what we always called a pancake block. I didn't see anything there other than a OL dominating a LB.
C'mon man!! Michigan scored the TD to make it 41-17 with 5:03 left in the game. PSU had the ball for 9 plays and turned it over on downs with 2:17 left. Michigan took over and subs played. It wasn't "much earlier than that". Accuracy shouldn't be that hard. A quick check of a box score tells you all you need to know.
So since PSU had their offensive starters in down 24 pts and less than 5 minutes left in the game, does that make JF Classless? Nope
Every team does that. It's routine. You schedule practices at specific times and recruit around it. Generally the weekend of a Bye week the players have off, then they go into their regular routine Sunday or Monday.
If I could report you for being a troll and a moron, I would. Unfortunately that's not an option. PSU had their backups in tonight with 8+ minutes left. Harbaugh is a tool.
His right hand is outside the shoulder pads. That is textbook holding.
Anyone want to earn my respect by admitting they massively over reacted to last week?
So in other words, you're right despite being completely wrong with your supporting facts? Yeah, got it!
And just to spell it out for you one more time... Michigan put their subs in on the FIRST possession they had after expanding the lead. And you have kept reporting that the game was closer than it appeared - leaning on a what if about a legit penalty - yet, Michigan dumps their subs into the game immediately after gaining a big lead.
Is the sky green in your world or do you just not believe in posting truthfulness to support your drivel?
This is wildly incorrect.
And it is very sad that you have nothing better to do on Saturday night than troll PSU boards.
Get a life. I hear Grindr is a thing now....
That's mature. And there isn't anything I said that's not correct. I've been around 5 years, just not much on this football board. Probably because of interactions like these.
But when you can explain to me that your statement about Michigan putting in their subs had any truth or relevance, I'll listen. Sorry if you don't like to be called out. Then again, don't bother.
The relevance is that Harbaugh is a classless douche. That's it that the post.
Perhaps. Opinions can differ on that and I won't argue with yours. But why post bullsh*t reasons to support your claim? Kinda waters down your credibility. When Michigan put their subs in had/had NOTHING to do with the point you're trying to make.
