1. if you can't get pressure with 4, are you better off bring 5 or 6 to get pressure or dropping 8 to make them work their way down the field? Either now seem like better options.
2. Osu just seemingly found a glitch in Don Brown's defense. Brandon Watson has had a really good year, but he was put in a position to fail today. He had no chance to cover the wideout in some of those situations today especially the crossing routes out of the bunch formation where the wideout got a running start on the crossing route. On those routes, I don't think there was any db that could cover that.
3. Shea is a big improvement over the past UM qbs, but for some reason, he was tentative to keep the ball most of the year on the read option. I thought some of that was to just keep him healthy through the season, but thought there were similar options today. Also, when I was at the psu game, I thought it was noticeable how late shea threw the ball which resulted in many underthrown passes. Today was similar- not that it was an offensive issue today, but the endzone pass to gentry to the 3rd down pass to DPJ where he had to fall down twice just to catch the ball instead of being able to catch and run.
4. I might be off, but I never thought this team was as good as the 2016 team. I thought that dline dominated games and caused osu trouble where this team just doesn't have that type of talent. (Mo Hurst was a backup on that team). Also, prior to the Speight injury at iowa, I thought that offense was really good.
5. Thought Nico and DJP played really well. I am thinking and assuming that UM will look to throw the ball more next year to emphasize their talents.
6. Not quite sure I understand what people are thinking when they want Harbaugh fired. Who the hell is UM getting that is better? Fact of the matter unfortunately is that Urban is probably one of the top 2 coaches in football and probably one of the top 5 coaches of all time. That leaves a pretty small amount of coaches to pick from to top that.
7.From a television perspective, that crap hole of a stadium appeared to be the most raucous thing. Unfortunately, I don't know how many teams in the country would win in that environment.
8. Last thoughts - Offensively - UM needs to look to diversify their offense a bit more. They are bringing in some athletes, so it will be important to look to get them the ball in space a bit, but for next year, I hope they look to throw the ball more earlier in the games with the stud group of receivers they have. Secondly, Don Brown needs to get his team better prepared to play zone. Teams know exactly what to expect when they play UM's defense and now have done a better job of scheming some things against them.
