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.

UM up 15-7 1:40 left 1st qtr

Miami scores at the end of the 3rd to go down 5. They go for 2 instead of kicking and fail. Now GT scores again and they’re down 12 instead of a much more manageable 10 with only 13 minutes left.

I've read so many declarations on this board: Declarations made with 100% airtight confidence, such as: QB performance is 100% he difference-maker from programs.

I looked at a recent stat regarding Carson Beck of UGA- He has 10 TD passes and 11 INTs in SEC play this season and is 7-1 as a starter.

Carson Beck has 8 INTs (5 TDs) in his last three games, including two games with 3 INTs- All of these were wins. As these weeks have past, I've been seeing post after post on the Fort regarding "elite QB play" as the "only way to win games" going forward.

But seriously, what's up with Beck?



Minus his 5 TD no INT game vs Tennessee Tech, Beck has a poor TD/INT rate (12-11)

Yet Beck put up killer numbers, with much better consistency and efficiency as a first-time starter, last season with UGA.

He hit the portal once it looked as if UGA had secured the commitment of Dillon Raiola-
In an interesting twist, UGA paid big NIL $ Beck to come back to continue growing under the same coaching staff that had him playing at an elite level last season...but something happened.

Many UGA fans are blaming Beck's newfound celebrity (as a former humbly ranked 5.8 RR 4-star QB recruit outside of the top 250) for his fall. He's dating one of the Cavinder twins, he's driving an NIL-funded Lambo, and living the friggin' life!

At the expense of what? Who cares about his performance if the team is winning anyway?

Well, Beck was a preseason favorite to be a first-round draft pick in the 2025 draft.
Now he isn't draftable at all.

I wonder what Michigan fans feel happened in regard to coaching.
Throwing eight interceptions and five TDs over the last three games (Florida, Texas, and Miss St) is an obvious form of player regression, and we're comparing one QB to himself, which is the only way to measure performance. I wonder if the UGA QB Coach and/or OC are feeling heat from their fans?

The UGA fanbase in a weird spot with an otherwise dominant team and true contender, with scores of behavioral issues and a QB who seems, at best distracted by the NIL $ and ensuing attention.

Beck had better get out of this three-game funk tonight vs Ole Miss. That or he needs to hope that his girlfriend doesn't break up with him...

Announces today. Any chance it's not Michigan.

He committed.

This guy has no class. Called a TO to let his players watch fans leave. He looks like an ahole now it's confirmed. I hope Moore keep this in mind when we go out there in two years. Yep I am biter but that's classless

Michigan fans got the memo.

Well done folks. Show BU the love. Login to view embedded media

Now he's fired.

A Belleville player shared a picture of him and BU from a Michigan Official and said "the best in michigan stay in michigan" then the Bellville Football Twitter responded with Maize and Blue hearts. This just feels a bit too on the nose to not have some BU momentum behind it.

Reaffirmed his commitment with Michigan.

EDIT: Said he’s locked in with Michigan. FWIW
