Well, this is mostly a placeholder because I am anxious to take a look at the basketball team. Last week Michigan won against Rutgers. Saturday they play Penn State.
Michigan football looked a little better because they moved the ball and scored some points. Throwing the ball 15 yards to a streaking receiver requires standing in the pocket, surveying the field, making good decisions, and throwing with authority and accuracy. Michigan found someone who can do that in Cade McNamara. That doesn't mean that they are a great offense, and it may not work as well against top defenses. And, McNamara does not appear to be much of a running threat.
At this moment the Joe Milton experiment is a sad one. Let's hope he can rebound. He just takes too many plays off; one in five is not good enough.
Rutgers is not a football power but they look improved and decent. In this game they were pretty much the equal of Michigan. They have some transfer players and there is talent in their area.
It was a several touchdown comeback for Michigan. You could see the excitement and the confidence return when they took the lead.
The reason it was neck and neck and score and answer is the Michigan defense could not stop them. The line lacks speed and quickness and the secondary cannot hold up. Rutgers had a big day passing.
Michigan has played a lot of old but new faces on the D-line. There was a Mazi Smith sighting.
It is hard to figure how and why Penn State is so bad. Some recent browsing uncovered unanimous predictions of a relatively easy Michigan win. We know that Michigan is not very good. We will get a closer look Saturday.
