Indianas last 9 possessions gained 89 yards and two field goals (one set up by an Orji fumble and the other by a 35 yard line drive Doman punt).

It included a pick at the IU 8.

We just wasted one of the most dominant in game stretches of D you could ever ask for.

LSU may not match Michigan's NIL but they have some jewelry apparently.

They played very well. It's obvious what the issue is hence the BU sweepstakes. Just got get to 6 wins. Moore knows he can't win alot games without better QB play. Just got to take our medicine this year. Yep it sucks. We had our chances to win this game. We could of won 4-5 games we lost definitely at least three. Aweful QB play killed us again. Onward.

Today's game really couldn't have gone better for Michigan.

LSU got BLOWN OUT by Alabama.

The atmosphere sucked. The stadium was empty by Q4.

LSU didn't even get in the endzone.

This happened in Year 3 of Brian Kelly.

Massive difference as compared to Year 1 struggles in the Sheronne Moore situation which largely are the product of recruiting issues that predate his tenure.

...and you have this season's version of FSU.

The cause of this loss is patently clear:

1. Decrepit and uncoordinated playcalling, with no logic in substitutions whatever.
2. Horrid passblocking by the OL.
3. Poor passing by Warren.
4. Lack of Separation by the WRs.

That's all.

Big fan of Moss. Would love to see this happen.

3-2 UM with -8:00 left in 3rd.

Its amazing how quickly and profoundly the most fundamentally sound team in the country became a fundamentals train wreck.

We host Texas and give an elite team the ball THREE times inside our 50 (results in only 10 points). Down 14-3 we throw an interception to give them the ball at the 37. Defense holds, then our all-american tight end sets the ball on the ground unforced. Now 24-3. Ballgame.

Take away those turnovers and what kind of a game is it?

USC we're clinging to a 20-17 lead and on first and ten from our 12. Fumble Edwards. Almost give the game away save for Mullings miraculous run.

Minnesota - We start Minnesota's rally while up 24-3 missing a wide open receiver. Like USC, we barely escape the miscue.

Washington. Hand the game to the Huksies with two fourth quarter turnovers in our own zone the first of which occurs the game is tied 17-17. They convert those own zone turnovers for the 10 decisive points.

Illinois might be the most ridiculous. Halftime score 13-7 Illinois. 3 of those 13 were handed to them on a Tuttle fumble at our 25. Defense held for the field goal.

In the second half their only score came from us giving them a free path to a fake punt that put them at the 16 yard line. Everything else was a stop.

We manage to get a field goal blocked and throw a pick near the goal line.

Finally, in our eighth game of the season we play our first turnover free game of the year and beat State. We repeat against Oregon and despite being down our top two corners are in a fourth quarter game with the number one team in the country.

Its really profound how big an impact turnovers had on this season. This after being elite the previous two years (18 total 22, 23 lowest in the country across those two years).

The difference between knowing how to take care of the ball and not at all knowing how to take care of the ball (plus a free pass fake punt allowed) is what doomed this team from not having a shot at a good season.

Young quarterbacks are one thing....but the Loveland and Edwards' game impacting own zone turnovers? What the heck?

Hope this was a blip and something we never see again under Moore.

After an interception, this offense is pathetic!!!!!!!!

Wolverines fall in Bloomington by five points and are now 5-5 heading into their second bye week of the year.

Michigan running back Kalel Mullings only touched the ball one time in the first half in the Wolverines' 20-15 loss to No. 8 Indiana on Saturday.

Head coach Sherrone Moore gave his reasoning behind the running back splits against IU and explained a critical third quarter redzone decision in his postgame press conference:

I want to hear from the Moore supporters. Between the two mismanaged challenges the last two weeks and not taking a timeout late in the fourth (not that it mattered) … how can you seriously feel good about his ability to be a good head coach? Forget the qb room … they don’t do the basics well?

All this talent and terrible coaching

I think it was Hillman, boy did he set the tone. Big time hitter.

3 takeaways following Michigan’s loss at No. 8 Indiana:

I marvel at the almost instant change of direction in Michigan fans' opinions (including my own) on Davis Warren being a QB that we can look at and, due to his performance against #1 Oregon, expect 2 TDs and no INTs vs a ranked opponent.

This week will be the next step in the evolution of Mr. Warren as a Michigan QB. Can he play well on the road? Keep the no turnover streak going?

That said, Oregon's defensive backfield is full of seniors and grad transfers led by a top tier CB, and Warren had to play against all of them (they weren't on the sidelines). He held up great against that secondary.

But if we see the Warren of last week or better @ IU, I will be thrilled regardless of outcome.

It's amazing that some of the same people bemoaning the coaching staff "not putting the ball in the hands of DW", were at that game's kickoff of the belief that Davis Warren "was not a Division 1 QB". Then, with unintended irony the same people complain about "lack of improvement anywhere on the team".

Without a doubt, I am really impressed that the coaching staff and Davis himself worked hard to fix Davis Warren's INT issues in the matter of a few weeks.
I know that there were a few posters who agreed with me when I posted that Warren was salvageable as a QB, pointing out his accuracy otherwise.

Now that the INT issue is hopefully over, he's not so bad for those who thought he shouldn't get another chance.

Campbell is the one calling nothing but running plays in the red zone. No one can be that short-sited. I gotta believe that Moore, the guy stubborn enough to run the ball 32 straight times, is directing Campbell to call runs in those instances.

Have all this talent yet our coaches don’t put them in a position to succeed. If you are a recruit why would you want to play for these coaches. You aren’t going to be developed.

Such a shame

Come out and play Michigan football. Tackle, hit and make the plays we are accustomed to seeing. This is Indiana for God sakes. We can run the ball against them. Washington did. Washington also like every other team IU plays shot themselves in the foot. Clean game with no TO and get a f...win.
30-28 Michigan.

I think that Wink knows this D well, but the player flow has been inconsistent due to injuries.

I have a feeling that Wink's real issue was communicating this D to 18, 19-eyar olds vs professionals.

He may not be the natural teacher that Macdonald and Minter were. In addition, Mac and Minter were much closer in age to the players than Wink.

Maybe Wink's adjusting and the young men are adjusting, but perhaps a younger or already "college savvy" DC (one who assists in recruiting) would be the move for next season. I always had the feeling that Wink would be a rental DC for one reason (success and move back to NFL) or another (failure to connect).

The not really a recruiter thing doesn't fit at all with the staff, but I feel that Moore knew he needed experience somewhere on that side of the ball.
