1. First game I've been to in Ann Arbor this year and it was a beautiful day and lots of fun. Went with an old college roommate - first Michigan football game we've gone to together in 33 years (the last game we were at together was 91 OSU - Desmond punt return/Heisman pose). I think sometimes we as fans often takes college sports way too seriously. I understand for the players, they put some much of themselves in it and, in many cases, it's basically a job. But for fans, it's nothing but entertainment - we have nothing riding on it.
2. I thought Warren looked pretty good - especially when he had time. You can tell he's still learning. I hope he's back next year. I could see where we could win with him if he has a solid line and a few more receivers.
3. What a beast Loveland is. He's so athletic for a big TE.
4. It seemed to me that the interior of the OL struggled more than the tackles. In general, Warren seemed to have time on most dropbacks.
5. What happened on the procedure penalty on us on the punt? What did we do wrong?
6. Mullings doesn't appear to be 100%.
7. As many people have commented, Campbell doesn't seem to have a great feel for play calling. We got behind the chains too much on 1st down. Obviously, the calls late in the red zone were very odd.
8. It was going to take a near perfect game for us to win today with us missing Johnson and Hill. Our defense would have looked a lot different with a secondary of Johnson, Turner, Sabb this year . . . and allowed us to play a lot more aggressively up front (or at least not been burned as much for doing so).
9. We needed more from the front 4 today. Gabriel had way too much time to throw - especially in the first half. Moore has been pretty quiet. I wonder how much of that has to do with health. Gotta give credit to Steward for gutting it out after getting hurt. He's a warrior.
10. Oregon's blocking outside was better than our's - i.e., their receivers.
11. I was sitting around a ton of recruits and their family members (Section 23, Row 7). Unfortunately, I can't tell you who any of them were because recruiting is not my thing.
12. It would be nice if the students would get to the game on time and not leave early. Players deserve more.
