I know Don Brown will take the heat because the secondary was awful and we allowed a MAC caliber quarterback to throw for 400.
But that’s the problem. We still have a 1990 mindset. The best teams score 50 regularly. Michigan punted 8 times. 8! Against a team that is a borderline top 30 defense.
The inability of Michigan to put together a modern quick strike offense will be Harbaughs failure. Fact is guys like Lombardi throw for 300 all the time now. It’s how the game is now.
Michigan should be at the point where we can win a game 45-28 when our defense is weak. But we can’t. And in year six, that’s telling.
Got to be honest. This feels like a killer. I think both sides know that we’ve run our course.
